God I love this picture.
Do you think Contador ever had to push a teammate?

There's a heck of a lot of other reasons. I know plenty of 'amateurs' who could crush guys who have turned pro.Pentacycle said:A rider either has an engine and he can become a pro, or he stays an amateur.
to brag about that in the interview in the era when a half second turn of the head and look at the waterfall is the reason to accuse of doping. True. It's so logicalLaFlorecita said:No, a rider will dope to prepare for the tour
I had exactly the same thought just before seeing your post!Cycle Chic said:
It was when Indurain dropped Pantani like a stone, with Leblanc, in 1994 BD. Guess Indurain was a little bit upset Pantani made him look like a fool in the Giro.Big Doopie said:Did anyone catch clentadopucci shaking his head as froome sprinted away from Busche and him at the end of stage 5.
Reminded me of pantani just shaking his head as Armstrong dropped him on hautacam in 2000.
Reminded me in sooooo many ways.
Huh. Modern day biography writing is weird to say the least. Justin Bieber has 20 biographies, Cav has a few, wiggo has a few, and now Froome? I could write Froome's biography in 2 sentences. I remember the days when after a long career, and an interesting life, one could get a biography. Not anymore. I guess it's an anglo thing. I mean I am still waiting for the first Alberto biography and I guess I'll have to wait another 5 years.thehog said:No. It's a bad dream. Can't be true. No. Not another biography!
I guess they got the title right. Remarkable indeed.

absolutely. Basso's comments during last year's tour were telling too.Big Doopie said:Did anyone catch clentadopucci shaking his head as froome sprinted away from Busche and him at the end of stage 5.

fgl, that may have happened too.Fearless Greg Lemond said:It was when Indurain dropped Pantani like a stone, with Leblanc, in 1994 BD. Guess Indurain was a little bit upset Pantani made him look like a fool...

You stand correct.Big Doopie said:fgl, that may have happened too.
But check out 2000 hautacam if you can bare it. Zulle Armstrong and pantani attack. Zulle drops back but pantani hangs on. And then cracks. Looks down at his power meter and shakes his head.
Needs to be "Resistible" rather than "Remarkable", in reference to Brecht's "Der Aufhaltsame Ansteig des Arturo Ui" (translated as "The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui"). It's a farce about gangsters.thehog said:No. It's a bad dream. Can't be true. No. Not another biography!

At least his lid is on straight in the picture. He looked all Virenque riding away from Contador in stage 5 with his helmet cocked to one side. I guess he was too focused on his power meter to straighten it back up.thehog said:No. It's a bad dream. Can't be true. No. Not another biography!

And maybe riding with his elbows sticking out to the side flapping in the wind is the reason for his success, along with his upper body bobbing back and forth. Not a pretty sight. Doesn't mean he is shooting up, but it makes it harder to give him a break.Puckfiend said:At least his lid is on straight in the picture.

Hautacam 1994 has Pantani shaking his head when he looks back and sees the Indurain express closing in on him.Big Doopie said:fgl, that may have happened too.
