    Giro 2017, stage 16: Rovetta – Bormio 222 km

    Re: All part of Dumo's master plan to instantly improve his w/kg just before the final climb. Master class from the Dutchman in doing whatever it takes to win.

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    I wonder if he likes his case as much as he liked his credibility? http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/lance-armstrong-we-like-our-case-in-federal-lawsuit/ #nevertestedpositive

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    Re: Re: That's the root of the problem with Armstrong. His myopic view is limited to the riders achieving top results, who are most likely all on the program, but it would never occur to and he would never accept in a million years that there may be one or more riders a little bit further...

    THE INDEPENDENT COMMISSION REPORT #1

    Re: Re: I don't know much, but it seems to me that having a sport sign on to the WADA code gives a "legal foundation". perhaps this Finian chap hasn't taken the time to understand how that works, and is just shooting from the hip? He certainly wouldn't be the first journalist to do so. As...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    Re: Re: Former major sponsors who dumped him for their own convenience only when it looked like it might be harmful to their bottom line, will no doubt be back on board when/if the fickle, short memory of public opinion trends positive again indicating possibility of profit from the association.

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    Re: Re: C'mon hog you should know as well as anyone that what was presumably the majority of Lemond's assets at that time came from a source completely independent of his bike biz. His bike biz and brand was ravaged, and he was still very rich by most standards. These two items can be...

    Doping in XCO Mountain Biking: Now with Chicks!

    Fair enough. Looking at the current field there's nothing direct that I have come across (someone might post up with something new to me), and instead we're left to speculate on the present mostly based on past riders and their transgressions. The road side has always been status quo, just...

    Doping in XCO Mountain Biking: Now with Chicks!

    OP living under a rock? Former XCO world champions with a history that I can pull right off the top of my head include; - Dupouey (RIP), Meirhaeghe, Green, and Pezzo all busted in some form or another while still competing. - Rasmussen so obvious, although not busted while riding XCO. -...

    Who will win the Dauphiné?

    Might have to skip the Tour to recover from the bilharzation of it.

    2015 Giro d'Italia Stage 18: Melide > Verbania 170km

    Re: Considering how many riders have been identified since the start of this Giro as being clearly stronger than Contador, it's amazing he's even in the top 10 for GC. :rolleyes:

    It's OK that you missed the point entirely. This is expected from you by now.

    2015 Giro d'Italia Stage 18: Melide > Verbania 170km

    Let's say Hesjedal was climbing better than Contador today. So what? You want one guy to be a better climber than every other rider every day? What part of the GC concept do you not understand? Maybe, maybe not. All I know is that I look at the GC every day and the gap to 2nd just keeps...

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Re: Re: For the amount of times over the years that Contador has been in a position of needing to make key tactical decisions on the road - much more often than other riders who aren't at the sharp end of the GC stick nearly as much - his strike rate in achieving a positive outcome is...
