well, remember the final day in Paris and Sky and Froome and LRP almost went down and became entangled.

what i reckon has happened, Froome-dawg is once again lying thru his teeth, but there is a curnel, an antecedent memory of this day in Paris...

in feature film and fiction writing they may say "based on a true story".

in reality, all lies.
I thought it had been decided categorically that the LRP wobble in Paris was down to the motor(s) in his bike...........maybe Froome was on his way to the filling station to top up on diesel or buy some AAAs :rolleyes:

He takes his bike to the car wash to clean it????? Who does that?

I imagine it's one of those stand-alone high pressure jet washers that he was intending on using rather than riding through the main car wash section.

don't ruin it for me....

If he did take his bikes through the car wash then the claim that he rides completely clean must be absolutely true. ;)

I'm thinking something along the lines of the Four Yorkshiremen... "Back growing up in Kenya, we didn't have mechanics to wash our bikes. We had to take them down to the local car wash to clean them..."

Which explains his repeated exposure to Bilharzia.

It's come full circle now. :)

Speaking of bilharzia...

Ross Tucker ‏@Scienceofsport Dec 5
@TeddyCutler @SamueleMarcora We learn about bilharzia at school it's so common. And easy to treat. I remember being scared to swim in water
...as a kid because of it! Easy diagnosis, easy treatment. Not required over years & not every six months
also not only treatable in Africa as has been claimed (in fact the West is trying to help Africa combat it)

So there's that. :cool:

nah, LRP is just L in the LRP acronym. little man. is little. LRP is little.

what in LRP in L dont u unnastan?

LRP and F-dawg did pretty well to keep it up, yes, they did cause it, they did pretty well to zeno's paradox speed wobble at 10miles an hour, and then they reciprocated by doing pretty well to keep it up during/post the speed wobble, another zenos paradox. was it during or after they managed to hijack the speed wobble. Zeno may say its both, not neither. (double negative is a double negative, an ambiguous positive, it aint a tautological pleonasm[sic])

"The local car wash? Luxury! We had to wash our bikes by riding them in the lake and hope we didn't drown."

I think Froome is just very loose with his descriptions so they make for a great anecdote to be re-told at a later date.

i even can't imagine how many times this pic was listed on here. what do you seriously hope for guys? to see froome crying and admitting doping? never gonna happen.

Who cares what Froome thinks of the picture, it's not for him, it's about him. There are two pictures I never get tired of, this one and the zig zag up the hill trying to keep up with Gerrans lol

FWIW there were a lot of fanboys here and everywhere else that didn't ever think they would see Armstrong shed a tear and admit doping. There is still a lot of time left for Froome to do the same. I would imagine he will cry like a baby though.

a very sincere answer, thanks. generally speaking the thread is basically about that, not about willingness to explore anything and sight froome into perspective. most people just want froome to suffer, get punished for his lies and cry like a baby. Many on here openly encourage any kind of doping for any rider to reach their desired goal - to make froome lose. the dawg must shed his blood for cheating his haters.

They might not have been moving at all.

Anyway, hijacking is generally regarded as illegal and neither Froome or his little friend would ever do anything illegal

Will Richard Moore's Esquire piece on Froome go down as one of the most biased pieces of cycling journalism ever?

Not that the above statement depends on it, but if i'm not mistaken, he didn't even get the year of the intro of the BP right. Moore:
The Athlete Biological Passport wasn’t introduced until 2009
UCI:
Cycling was one of the first sports to introduce the use of the Athlete Biological Passport back in January 2008.
He's up against David Walsh there, so the competition for biggest bum-dwelling parasite is extremely hard.

Walsh probably wins. Moore is more plain evil, whereas Walsh is just really weak, but I give Walsh more parasite points because Moore actually was a cyclist during the mega EPO era so had to personally live the corruption and injustice that is pro cycling, and was no doubt shaped by that experience. Even if its morally wrong, he's defending his lot.

Walsh is just a pure parasite fan who wants to have his cake and eat it. To sit back and watch sport and scream like a teenage girl when he meets the people who, OMG he saw on television.

While it's a good attempt humour, you also raise an important point.

Froomes 2007 results being legit, froome not performing on the road and brailsford being a half decent coach, are mutually exclusive.

They can not all be true. We know for a fact though that point two - froome not performing on the road, is true. So sky are lying about either 1, 3 or both.

The people who are 'lying' (I prefer pretending) that Brailsford is a half-decent coach are Clinic regulars to support a fictitious Sky dominance narrative, and the media who just need any old narrative. Brailsford is an extreme case because of the state broadcaster's imperative to trumpet olympic success. In reality he's a number cruncher and probably an exceptionally good manager, who got lucky. A bit like John Major, he ran away from the circus, became an accountant and hit the jackpot..

Well done for finally seeing the most likely explanation, btw.

I'm sorry, which detractors in the Clinic have ever been pretending Brailsford is a half decent coach? Yates was saying that Brailsford knows nothing about the sport as early as 2012....

I bow to your superior knowledge and withdraw the suggestion that regulars argue with me about Brailford's competence.

Be honest with us all here. How many times has a Sky detractor tried to tell you Brailsford is a competent COACH? (not manager, DS etc)

Froome drawing inspiration from Wiggins:

Wiggins 2012:
Bradley Wiggins survived the Tour de France's first big mountain stage to retain the race leader's yellow jersey, before asking "what more can I do?"

Froome 2015:

here's a set of realistic ideas for Froome:
