Which begs the question (and apologies if it's been covered elsewhere) but what could it be? Gene doping? Or is it just one of these big unknowns that we'll find out about in 10yrs time?

I think it was as simple as pump him full of the good stuff, light the blue touch paper and let him fly. The numbers would have probably blown up a Stages head unit... Also there was of course the possibility that he'd have scorched up the climb like Marty McFly's Delorean and gone back to 21st...

I agree. Nor surprising he beat Martin et al over a 7k TT either. Full gas, straight off the gun is CX/XC MTB in a nutshell. However, what is surprising, is that he rode is on the front for three weeks, day after day, nearly always pulling on the last climb, then contested the sprint the next...

For me, people comparing it to Lemond/Fignon, all you should do is compare the celebration. To me, Pogacar 'celebrated' like he's won pass the parcel by holding on for a couple of seconds longer than he should have. Looked like a kid with his hand in the cookie jar, almost realising that now he...

Fingers crossed the doping control have cast iron piss jugs today.

Tadej been given a Gianetti nuclear special last night... :oops:

Re: Re: I was just curious because as a long time tech geek, I've never seen a chain catcher underneath the bottom bracket like that. It's location doesn't really make sense to me. It looks like it would weigh more than a conventional derailleur fitted or dog tooth item. On a chain stay, yes...

Strange place to put a chain catcher imo. http://www.velonews.com/2018/05/giro-ditalia/spotted-chris-froomes-custom-3d-printed-chain-keeper_466861

Strange place for a chain catcher no? Underneath the bb...? ;) http://www.velonews.com/2018/05/giro-ditalia/spotted-chris-froomes-custom-3d-printed-chain-keeper_466861

Re: Chris Froome Discussion Thread. "It has a lot of ***, RE not riding into form... blah blah blah". My problem with most of the comments on that piece is that they're calling it bs, but PHILIPPA KNOWS! She's done it for 12yrs!!! IN ALL OF THE GRAND TOURS! With jerseys and podiums to...

'Anatomic Jock race' sounds like something you'd expect to see happen in High School locker-rooms.

Re: Saddle sore eh? So another TUE for kenakort or hydrocortisone wouldn't be out the question...

Precisely Cloxxki, it's so bizarre the nativity of the sporting public, regardless of national identity. How anyone can purely think that 'it's just the Russians' whilst Marit Mühlegg ploughs two minutes into the womens field is beyond me and has been at the top for 16yrs, no questions asked...

Re: I wouldn't be surprised if they popped Guliev just to give Wayde the gold anyway. :Neutral:

Watched it this morning, thought it was excellent.
