Yes Rettenbachferner was alone, and although I lost my joy in cycling climbing the Mortirolo, this stage had 6 climbs, not one.

There was not such a stage in Suisse, if there was, he wouldve crushed them.Miburo said:And in Suisse he didn't destroy the best riders on a hill, that happened in this vuelta though.

Yes this was the stage where Dumoulin took control in the last climb and had only a handful of rider suffering in his wheel once they reached the top. Too bad the finish was flat.Miburo said:classicomano said:There was not such a stage in Suisse, if there was, he wouldve crushed them.Miburo said:And in Suisse he didn't destroy the best riders on a hill, that happened in this vuelta though.

Why would you assume everyone who's still giving him the benefit of the doubt is Dutch?
No, Suisse has nothing to do with setting the bar for suspicion at "Dumoulin wins the friggin' stage".BigMac said:That's sort of the point. You can't possibly point out to dope here without first assuming he was on it in Suisse. May be you do, but I didn't see uproar back then.
They really aren't that bad. Ive seen much much worse. The Kristoff fans earlier this year for example. That was a lot worse.Tyr said:I hope Dumuolin gets busted this very Vuelta. That would shut this bunch of delusional Dutch fanboys for good.

Being Dutch and wanting to defend their compatriot along with plain delirium are the only reasonable explanations of why someone would defend this ridicolous transfomation.

I think you haven't followed Dumoulin much to label this a 'ridiculous transformation'. That or you haven't seen many ridiculous transformations.

Dumoulin's transformation in climbing ability is no smaller than G's transformation
