Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

[Galic Ho]

Good to see that you have returned as bigoted as when you left. Shame you didn't at least spend your time off studying statistics.

Unlike you I can read sufficiently to grasp the fundamentals of pretty much every mathematical concept. Why not have thehog as UCI president? He's a Brit is he not? Oh, but that would make you bigoted would it not?

Oh but you Sky fanboys think everyone involved in team Sky is as clean as a preachers sheets! This Cookson or whatever his name is has been discussed at length in other threads. He's a very, very, very poor choice. If you actually went to a REAL university, not only could you read but you'd know regarding stats I mentioned TOTAL POPULATION which means, ahem, standard bell curves and yes 3 SD's is the norm for about 97-99% of all subjects, as taught everywhere in legit uni's. But by all means, I didn't pay attention in the 3 subjects that dealt with it in my degree did I to ace the exams? The figures used wise guy, were not for TOTAL POPULATIONS, hence they aren't even remotely accurate. But you knew that right?

But the real cherry on top of going to a decent uni or at least studying relevant subjects that have applications in the real world, you'd know of accountability and transparency in business. Which instantly marks this Cookson guy as a very poor choice. Giving someone with lots of power, even more, when they show zero honesty, openness and accountability is disastrous. Especially since you think Britain is holier than thou. Why not prove it Pedro? Why do the exact opposite? I was actually calling for a GOOD thing for Britain. A chance for you guys to PROVE yourself. But you hop on the offended foot and do your thing. Whatever man! This isn't about you and your misguided sense of patriotic jingoism. No this is about the truth and doing the right thing. A British nominee is fine...just not one attached to the money arm of the biggest team in cycling at the moment. That's beyond dumb and yes, potentially more daft than re-electing McQuaid.

How about using your brain? I used mine. And no, I am not angry I am calm. Biased against the British? For the last time, my whole family came from Ireland, England and Scotland once upon a time. Yeah I really, really hate those places!

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Froome is awesome.

 

[the sceptic]

1st tour of oman
1st criterium international
1st tour de romantine
1st criterium dauphine
2nd tirreno-adriatico

no one cheats quite as blatantly as the dawg

 

[thehog]

Froome is awesome.

He was doing a Riis. He was riding at 50%.

 

[thehog]

Yes end of August 2011. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/froome-hopes-to-keep-vuelta-lead-as-long-as-possible

Thanks.

Yes fits nicely into the rise and having a backstory to explain his mediocrity prior.

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

He was doing a Riis. He was riding at 50%.

I think Riis generally rode at 60%

 

[Zam_Olyas]

He was doing a Riis. He was riding at 50%.

And the homers would tell us he beat talansky and fuglsang only by a few seconds so it is not clinic material.

 

[thehog]

Pedro I think even you would have one raised eyebrow about today.

 

[Galic Ho]

Pedro I think even you would have one raised eyebrow about today.

What did I miss? Full ***? 75% ***?

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Pedro I think even you would have one raised eyebrow about today.

Tbh I have never commented on Froome because there is not a lot to say really.

 

[thehog]

Tbh I have never commented on Froome because there is not a lot to say really.

Agreed. I wish I wouldn't comment on him. But I can't help myself.

I really do need to let it go.

And I mean this with all sincerity.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Do you think he could do a Sestrières 99 ?

 

[thehog]

Do you think he could do a Sestrières 99 ?

He'd smash that.

I don't think he's ridden at 100% yet - all season.

But unfortunately he knows he can't look ridiculous so he'll dial it back.

I do want him to to full ***. Just once.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Do you think he could do a Sestrières 99 ?

More likely an Hautacam '96.

Yeah, i agree.

 

[the sceptic]

Do you think he could do a Sestrières 99 ?

he already did that

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

Do you think he could do a Sestrières 99 ?

Sestriere wasnt that good, a clean Zulle on what, 17 seconds or so?

Clean Zulle with a questionmark of course.
Cleanish the word.

 

[roundabout]

30 seconds. The rest lost a minute and a half.

 

[airstream]

Well, airstream, I don't watch the prestigious races because they're prestigious, I watch cycling because it entertains me, big race or small race. When it consistently fails to entertain me, I start to become disillusioned. Does that not seem fair?

Prestigious races gotta be watched not because of the fact of prestigousness. They just reflect all epicness of the sport and give the most memorable impressions and anticipations.

And today I'm admire Sky team work and Froome personally. It was fabulous.



Omg, some of you are so extremely knowledgeable on what Zulle rode the 1999 Tour...

 

[Zam_Olyas]

More likely an Hautacam '96.

Now we need a poll, which was better as a comedic value hautacam 96 or sestrieres 99?

 

[Carlo Algatrensig]

For me it was Hautacam 96. The way he went up and down the group a couple of times and then just put it in the big ring and left them all.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Soldiers Hollow 2002 is likely the only real comparison we can make for Froome's superiority over the field.

 

[UlleGigo]

I've never understood the mindset of the troll. Must be a sad existence.

Keep digging Galic. Your original statement is telling no matter how much you try and dig ourself out of it.

It only a matter of a few posts before you lose your temper. That is your usual MO. Be most ironic if it was roid rage?

 

[red_flanders]

Lets avoid goading others please.

And let's move on from the standard deviations topic, that's going nowhere at this point. Thanks all.
