Re:
I think its difficult to judge womens cycling from an Alien perspective...i mean the way van der Breggen just rode away from everyone at the WC's was ridiculous, she didn't even look as though she was trying (im sure she was of course, but still her strength in relation to everyone else was startling)
If we saw solo efforts like that in the mens race it would quite rightly be called outrageous...but in womens cycling it seems to me that the gap between the top 2 or 3 riders in the world, and the rest of the pro ranks, is just huge.
Wether that's Alien (ie as a result of doping) or not....i dont know.
