hiding transfusion marks seems the one plausible explanation here.Why is #Froome wearing arm warmers during his coffee ride today? It's 30 degrees...

I know! It's crazy, almost as crazy as some mid pack rider finishing 83rd at the Tour Poland almost winning the Vuelta 3 weeks later :lol:

Mineral water is too fizzy, upsets the marginal gains. Gawd isn't Chris Froome a god among men? Think of the DNA this man is packing! He would be top of the charts in any rational breeding program.Benotti69 said:gooner said:thehog said:gooner said:Isn't it amazing how when one goes with the long sleeves, the herd mentality join in behind it.

Plenty of factual firsthand evidence of riders doing transfusion on rest days at GTs. Froome has won the tour twice and not on mineral water!

Oh and they wear black to cover up the Bulboes from the plague... lets go all in on this onecarolina said:thehog said:pastronef said:thehog said:Benotti69 said:Tyler Hamilton talked about it in his book;

In a hot press room an hour later.... Dawg keeping himself nice and warm :surprised:
have you got the temperature by chance? and humidity, air pressure, even wind direction? (maybe they left the windows open)
The door was left open but everyone is dressed in summer wear, except Froome who is expecting artic conditions :lol:
except for the guy behind froome and the other sky rider that is on the left. you can only see his arm, but he is also in a long sleeve jersey...
oh dear, where have we heard this before?Lyon said:When will Froomes bike go on Oprah and tell all?
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/brailsford-defends-froome-after-question-about-mechanical-doping/
Froome’s bike has been tested more than everyone else’s, we get tested every day. We actually had an email from the UCI saying thank you for being the most cooperative team out of everybody when it comes to bike checks and mechanical checking

I spent my youth cheering on Armstrong and Pantani and the rest of the frauds
Now we have Froome and Wiggins
LOL
The Hitch said:Wow, this is Christmas for the the few remaining sky believers.
Instead the usual narratives we see in the clinic, regarding ascent times, history of doping in sport, the 12 million things Brailsford and Froome have been caught lying about and fabricating etc, which none of the Froome believers ever dare challenge or argue against.
Instead of that, they have been able to find someone making an argument about sleeves.
The horns are being sounded, the dozen other remaining believers being summoned, the victory march is being prepared. Finally an argument that can be a) challenged, and b) used to mock the person who made it.
Now 120% of their energy to trying to portray that 1 post as the sum total of all sceptics' arguments.
Good luck guys
Surely those floral arm warmers made up for it?!Red Rick said:The realisation that I just read the entire last page of this thread makes me question the reason of my existence
pastronef said:isn´t it a strange behaviour from all these people on their high anti-doping horses?
Would a cleverly positioned, red floral design help?sniper said:help me out here, what's silly about it?
would you rather show your needle marks to the press?
