06 & 08 according to Wiki, 07 cuddles, 05 Di Luca

Well yeah I already knew who won all the other years, but I was in doubt with '06 and '09.

I saw Di Luca in Hadsten the year he won.

Can you name the past winners without looking them up or guessing?

And the trophy's crap.

Is there any trophy except those for the Giro and Paris–Roubaix that isn't crap?

Win a Vuelta stage into Toledo and you get one of these bad boys!

Cycling has ALL the cool trophies

Myley Cyrus is channelling Garzelli, who would've guessed!

 

[Eshnar]

People, let's get back on topic... There's already a thread about cool trophies.

Slightly off-topic, where can i find that thread?

 

[webbie146]

Ah it's clearly the off season Froome is getting a bit fat

It's from Pinarello; celebrating their 10 Tour de France victories

 

[the sceptic]

Has anyone told Froome he can help cycling by sharing his story?

I think he should, otherwise in a couple of years everyone will weigh 40kg and climb faster than Armstrong.

It would be nice to put this story to bed and move forwards with cycling.

Not going to happen unless something like a drunk Wigans has a moment of weakness spilling the marginal beans and it is captured on an iphone.

Sky have Walsh on board deflecting all doping allegations! If the man who chased Armstrong for 13 years thinks Sky are clean, who apart from knowledgable fans are going to argue?

I like that you regard yourself so highly but i rather go with Walsh on this one.

Of course you will, be a pity to have spent all that money on Wigans books, sky jerseys etc etc, if you are not going to swallow their bull everytime.

Kenya

Froome is the same weight all year give or take a kilo ?? relaxing in Kenya looks more than a kilo overweight since the Tour.

I've seen this question a few times now.

I'd have to read the article again to be 100%, but I am pretty sure the files looked at were all in competition power files - so his weight in competition is relatively static - in the files. Whether it's his actual weight, or just a number typed in by someone who wishes to support a particular narrative is impossible to tell.

Out of competition is another story, and it is not unusual to put some weight on for health reasons, etc.

looks like he´s got quite an impressive fanbase by now.

you are my hero

doping paying off nicely for this guy.

one wonders though how anybody with a bit of self respect can depict a TdF winner as their hero, at least in this era.

A riders weight is something that has been on my mind from time to time, would it have any 'scientific' value-merit to just weigh the top 10 finishers after every stage.

Weigh the damn bike and then weigh the damn racer, I mean, how hard could that be?
