Dave Brailsford - cycling genius

[D-Queued]

This is the second time in this thread you have accused me of trolling, why don't you ignore me or **** off down the hole you came from, you sad little man

Oh and if there are any mods aroiund, why don't you deal with these accuastions and other harrasment against me by theHiig and Blackcat too, because as far as I can see you (the mods) are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

Flaming the mods likely won't help your case.

In all likelihood, nor will continuing to parry in the thread.

Just saying.

You can always try the 'Report Post' button. Pretty sure it works.

I have already reported one post and nothing is done.

I don't think we have (m)any active mods at this moment..

The recently most active one was nitpicked into deciding he should slow down on performing his duties -to be more fair.................

And no-one complained about this statement..

Despite him being an excellent mod....

So, we get as we deserve...

If you can't stand the heat.......
Feel free to replace the word "heat", for "constantly looping, petty arguments"

It's genuine advice, and surprisingly effective.....

So you won't address Bilharzia?

You will just ignore it?

If you just flat out ignore any real arguments against Sky then you are being extremely dishonest in your claims and posting behaviour. Complaining about posting and calling people trolls, getting involved in flame wars at any chance, but refusing to actually take part in the real issues debates and arguments.

FFS, how many times has it been discussed in the clinic, I am going to say one thing on Bilharzia? That it is a disease that Froome almost certainly had.

It proves nothing either way and because non experts in sub tropical diseases don't always get all the facts about it correct then different explanations from those non experts on sub tropical diseases are quite normal. People often make contradictory statements especially on things they don't fully understand.

 

[thehog]

Almost?





......

 

[The Hitch]

FFS, how many times has it been discussed in the clinic,

A lot. But you have never weighed in which made me very surprised to see you now claim you have dismissed the arguments against Froome when you have never even addressed the most damning evidence against him.

That it is a disease that Froome almost certainly had..

No one said he never had it. That is a totally meaningless sentence. It has nothing to do with the actual discussion since the possibility of Froome having had it, isn't the Red mark against him.

It proves nothing either way and because non experts in sub tropical diseases don't always get all the facts about it correct then different explanations from those non experts on sub tropical diseases are quite normal.

But that is 100% incorrect and easily disproven. The claims against Froome are fully backed by a mountain of evidence, including all manner of university papers into the subject, all governmental health websites, text books and the top experts at the top institutions.

So again. How can you dismiss the clinic and the arguments made in it, if you flat out refuse to actually address or take part in any of the debates?

Well done to all those involved in the project!!

 

[ralphbert]

Well this is the clinic so congratulations to brailsfraud for hiring the chemist who looks after froome, truely an outstanding job.

 

[ralphbert]

What really irks me about Brailsfraud is he dopes up two complete lemons and effectively ruins two TDFs.

First donkey off the rank is Wiggons in 2012, who effectively bores his competitors to submission. Then in 2013 we have froomedog who has the tactical aplomb of a sponge pudding which does make for some exciting racing but his spastic style is just so ugly.

At least Vino and Riis have the good sense to super charge riders with some panache.

I know, tell me about it. They should have picked Thomas. He'd be be a superstar if was doping like Wiggo/Froome.

Froome is just so beige. And looked terrible when he wasn't doping and hanging into motorbikse, now he looks even worse.

This glorification of people like vino and riis is annoying and feeds the trolls ammunition. It's bs. There is absolutely nothing romantic about vino riis ricco etcetera. That you like them more for totally non clinic reasons has nothing to do with the clinic. All of them are totally untrustworthy individuals who have gotten rich by being dirty. In the case of the two you mention have a proven track record of lying for.decades both as riders and managers.

I can kind of understand having sympathy for small time dopers who confessed or were scaoegoated but these 2 are no different to the sky mob.

After I ate my pizza I sat down and watched highlights of Bertie dropping Froome . It was really good to watch the greatest GT rider of his generation getting back to but not quite on top form

 

[blackcat]

hi folks, is someone calling me? i am here to help

But isn't the lying and the cheating been part of the doping culture of cycling. They could hardly say the were doping and being it's use is almost required then behaving in such a manner in the pro sports environment would just seem and feel normal. Have you noticed how the dopers like Ricco and Di luca just tell it like it is and do not try to sugar coat it in a way like Millar has "boo hooo me , it was not really my fault"

I'm def more with Ricco . He's more honest about his cheating even though he's not the smartest cookie.

which is why the doping is insidious on the meta level. it cotorts the ethical norm in a way outside the boundaries of cycling.

this, in part, is the negative effect of the puritan Anglophone ethical pov on doping. They have to buy piecemeal from this "virtue". Or holus bolus, like slipstream, and more expedient but still puritan with Sky.

But the cognitive dissonance reigns because they still imbibe dope. It is Shelly frankensteinian

 

[the sceptic]

Brailsford acknowledged that Sky’s marginal gains have been adopted by other teams and that those teams have caught up with the British outfit. But he insisted, “Our challenge is to stay ahead of the game. We spent some time thinking about what it is that we in the backroom staff actually enjoy as a group. After a lot of discussion, we came back to the idea that we love that process of development and continuous improvement. Winning is the outcome but it is striving for that outcome that really motivates us.”

lol... what?

Indeed, if Brailsford's success is down to doping then he was still beating everyone else on a level playing field. You don't achieve that by being a clueless idiot as many on here seem to think. That said, I cannot stand the guy.

Brailsford had nothing to do with that. He is the David Brent village idiot who they bring out to spout garbage so skybots can sleep better at night.

You also think the playing field was level under Armstrong's reign?
