A 23 year old CX/MTB rider, who isn't necessarily a sprinter based on his results on the road so far, beating some okayish French (pro)conti sprinters and sprint talents in the sprint, while struggling with a wrist injury, and in the middle of his MTB season, is still pretty decent if you ask...

I was just reading through this thread for some fun reading about Froome's performance, but as I read back a bit, I suddenly thought: did anybody mention mr. 63% Jimmy Briceño yet? Showing up for a test with a hematocrit of 63% has to be a memorable doped performance in and of itself. Riis...

Just want to remind people of this: Did he find anybody yet?

Sorry guys, just for no apparent reason completely forgot I had to do the update yesterday :o Update: Eric10 at it again and noBing lasts forever (not even LightBing) This week saw a fair number of points, with the Giro going on, with California coming in and also some smaller races like Tour...

Re: Just to be clear, I took it for granted everybody is a Christophe Laporte fanboy/girl/person.

Re: Re: Actually, I should have posted that after Tuesday's TT. It's possible Yates has stepped up his TT game as well and will actually limit his losses in that department, in which case my post might look quite silly in hindsight. But based on SPY's TT pedigree so far, with the addition of...

Seeing Dumoulin doing an okayish job at limiting his time losses on the Zonc and today's very tricky stage with a long multi-climb finale, I think Dumoulin would have had a good chance on a more balanced route, even against such a strong Yates.

Really hope Ciccone wins this stage

The greatest 21 year old since Andy Schleck?

I guess a resurrection of the old adage "feel the Bern" might be appropriate....... cause they sure done felt it

Re: Re: By that time, Superman will have done enough damage for him to rely on his friends to finish it off. Betancur fights only for absolute power and revenge, Superman fights for his friends. Pello Bilbao will finish off what Superman started.
