Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

[Dazed and Confused]

Froome has been dieting

Crazy.

Call in some real doctors and get things sorted.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I hope posting a pic of froome is banned....how many times do we want to see his pic?

wonder what is pumping through those veins......suppose we'll find out in 15years.

 

[roundabout]

Kinda vascular for a guy who looks like he better stay indoors on a windy day.

 

[Winterfold]

I was thinking of Close Encounters rather than ET

it's just wrong...

 

[classicomano]

Jesus christ ...

“Unfortunately, when you see the physiology of certain riders who are going to start this year’s Tour de France, you have to ask yourself questions. There are still doping problems in cycling."

 

[wansteadimp]

Jeez look at the fat arms on that!

 

[kingjr]

Wow his arms look similar to my grandmothers after 2 years of pancreatic cancer.

 

[maxmartin]

One more pic, F's arms are impressive.

That is disgusting. Skeletonized freaks is not a way to grow the sport.

This is what the bio-passport has done. It looks like with blood doping limited, riders have turned to crazy, probably doping assisted, weightloss.

 

[Ferminal]

Jeez look at the fat arms on that!

Roid gut too.

 

[hrotha]

Not normal. That kind of picture should set off as many alarm bells as any picture of a supermuscular, roided up bodybuilder.

 

[Bannockburn]

Race weight: 9kg

This is what I have thought of him since I saw him last year. Praying mantis on a bike. Absolutely wrong. NOT NORMAL.

 

[Ripper]

Well, he makes Schleck look soft and Evans look downright fat.

 

[Baltazar]

How is it possible to look skinnier than a malnurished african child and still destroy the french climbs every day for 3 weeks?

I think what we are seeing now, is the battle of old doping methods vs. new doping methods. I'm sure Contador has a bloodbag or two waiting for him somewhere, but he looks "normal skinny" not "haven't eaten in two months" skinny...

I never saw a rider look as unhealthy as Froome does. They mostly look very thin, but not like that .

You clearly haven't seen the best distance runners in the world. Mo Farah makes Froome look chubby....he can still polish off a 5k with a 50 second lap.
You probably all think he's doping too.

Doping in track and field? Inconceivable!

I bet you would be surprised to find out pro body building is a dopefest.

Comparing a one-off effort, even a 2h marathon, with 3 week stage racing is nonsense. These guys are losing even more weight, as it is impossible to balance energy consumption completely and legally over 21 days.

 

[frenchfry]

Race weight: 9kg

And here I always thought the minimum weight was for the bikes, not the riders.

Yeh, I was thinking it'd make sense to start the race a couple of kilos above optimal race weight (first mountains are still a week away), I was wrong!
