That was magical. How's that coffee, Froome?

How's the beef, Contador ?

Win!

Hoping to see some guy running along with some meat on a fishing rod á la 2011 Giro before the season is over!

silence....words cant describe what we saw today

What the hell is he taking ??

His training session with Leipheimer may have paid off.

Contador easily rode away from Froome and yet you are here and talking about Froome?

They're both obviously doped to the gills, and everyone knows it. No reason to get excited.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I so wish Horner was in this mix.

(Cause Pappy knows how to jet-fuel the best!)

 

[Digger]

Both doped to the gills - Froome paced him for 4 kms - I should hope Contador attacked him ffs.

6.3 and 6.4 w/kg for both riders - joke.

6.4 was enough to win the 04 tour.

 

[naviman]

It's actually nice to watch this somewhat mortal Froome.

EDIT: 6.3W/kg? jeeeez

I find it as preposterous as ever...to your edit! Ridiculous. As is Contador.

he rode today as well as ever

it's just that Contador partied like it was 2009

I of course meant relatively mortal Relative to 2013 and Dauphine.

Who Froome or Contador ? Or, is Contador by virtue of going faster ignored ?

CdD was peanuts compared to today.

Froome just looked like a clown accelerating, but the pace was slow compared to today. 6,02 W/kg at CdD. Peanuts.

Froome probably migrated to a more traditional old school program for the Vuelta. Targeted doping at key stages.

What do you think his main competitors are doing ? Blood bags, micro-EPO, HGH, testosterone patches, combination of the lot or something new ?

I think Contador, Valverde and J-Rod are old school blood and epo dopers. Could be some other stuff too, but thats the main ingredients.

The traditional year end Vuelta doping free for all!

I do wonder if the doping is still taking place in the race itself. The strength of Froome and Contador on the final climb in the third week of a GT was eye-opening. Improvement in form should be expected due to their injury layoffs, but I did not expect that show of dominance.

 

[Dr.Guess]

But is epo still the best thing out there?

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Contador put in attack after attack on Valverde and Purito yesterday and didn't come close to dropping them. Froome put in one effort today and they were gone in the blink of an eye.

....then Contador put in an attack and Froome was gone in the blink of an eye.

Froome looked dead at the finish. Contador didn't. Both riders totally unbelievable, Contador though gets the award for biggest dope-fuelled rampage.

Just a bit surprised Contador didn't give Froome 'The Look'

Contador and Froome's display is sufficient evidence to stop wondering.

Wait, that's not proof of doping though...

As DirtyWorks said you've kinda overlooked the obvious fact that Contador dropped Froome but nevermind

 

[laurel1969]

It looked like Armstrong and Ulrich all over again.

The simple answer is oxygen vector doping is very likely at the top of the GC at the Vuelta. Doping technology has moved on somewhat, but the governance structure of the sport still permits oxygen vector doping.

How/why Froome is permitted to never test positive remains an interesting question. And why the Vuelta and not the Giro.

Based on today, it seems like ASO was ready for Armstrong/Kaiser 2.0 at the TdF this year but injuries prevented it.
