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

    By **** hurt do you mean blackballing his bike mechanic when he finds your dope, threatening a former masseuse of postal with a 1 million+ lawsuit to keep her quiet, getting Trek to discontinue its successful Lemond cycles line and force an apology by Greg, witness intimidation of Hamilton...

    Apparently, you missed Levi's TED talk.

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    You don't have to do the full battery of test every time. You could test more frequently and make what you test for random. Or you could just test and watch the blood markers everytime. It isn't exactly a high price for being able to compete fairly.

    Predict future FIRST TIME GT winners (Clinic Edition)

    Freddy Maertens won the Grand Prix Nations time trial. If you can time trial that well, you have a chance. Sagan is not a good time trialist. Sean Kelly won the Vuelta but he was also a very good time trialist. I don't think Sagan should bother trying to be a GC rider since it is not in his...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    The sad part was that I remember reading that before the TDF Lemond was telling his wife to get the champagne ready because he was killing it on all his training times. He was fit. Then he goes to the tour and gets shredded. I kind of doubt that Lemond was that heavy at the end of the tour...

    You are wrong on this completely. Lemond never was able to hold 6.0+ on longer climbs like Alpe d'Huez. The best of his era were around 5.6. Armstrong was 6.53 during a time trial and Pantani was over 7.0+ during a stage. The 6+ w/kg comes from a comment made by known doping Dr.Ferrari on...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    Yeah, that is Borysewicz and Brunyeel were brought over from Europe. There really hasn't been any validation to "American training". Carmicheal is a moron. All of Lance's wins have been wiped. Levi doped. Hincapie head that keeps growing. New age training and cadence stuff is just cover...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    No one was talking about him winning 4 more and Wiggins himself like a month ago said that he probably won't be making another run at the Tdf GC and that Froome has passed him. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/jun/21/bradley-wiggins-never-ride-tour-de-france-again

    Why does someone have to state the mechanism? People just get old. Here is a list of TDF winners and the age they won their tours. http://www.letour.fr/2012/TDF/HISTO/us/palmares.html If you look at the list, 34 the age that Evans was is pretty old. Riis was considered old at 32...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    Future generations can thank Pat and a whole slew of riders, ,who got their money, for suppressed wages and difficulty in finding sponsors. This could have been fixed after the Festina crisis in 1998 but it was all swepted under the rug in favor of "protecting the image of cycling". Even Jens...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    Zootemelk fell into his sole tour de france win when Hinault dropped. Even at that, Zottemelk wasn't close to the same rider when he was younger. He lost his sense of smell after he fell and cracked his skull and then developed meningitis. He claimed he lost his ability to recover and...

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    No, the average age of a tour de France winner is 28 years old. Before hardcore doping emerged there were a lot of very young winners. Lemond 25 Fignon 23 Hinault 24 Merckx 24 Aimar 24 Gimondi 23 Anquetil 23 Gaul 26 Koblet 26 Robic 26 Bartali 24 Lapapie 23 Maes 22 Spiecher 26...
