Naah Sky knew that bertie won't be able even podium in le Tour after his ban.
He would have certainly been in the podium of 2014 TDF without the crash and he would have had a very high chance of winning it (higher than Froome's imo if none of the 2 had crashed, not sure if he could have taken the 2:30 out of Nibali but I think he could've) so I'm not sure what you're suggesting here. He was flying all year in 2014.
Contador was doping both before and after his ban.

This thread is about how dirty a cheat Chris Froome is, please don't bring Berto into it, stop derailing the thread thank you very much

Actually it was Blanco who brought bertie and the blood bags (an unfamous spanish pop band) into this thread.

viewtopic.php?p=2200230#p2200230
And you and your mates kept going on about it for several posts after that.

that's guess work on your part, we know for a fact bertie is a dirty cheat and a liar

Seems you can't discuss Froome without bringing Bertie into it - in the Clinic or PRR. What Bertie was up to is not related to what Froome is up to, so why not take the Bertie stuff to the Contador is juiced thread where it belongs?

yip gifted his final stage by the Dawg and Poels. good riddance to the dirty cheat and unrepentant doper
 
I'd like to think that the cynicism on display in the clinic is a bit like dave stoller at the end of Breaking Away, as he cycles off with the french girl

The posters are off the wall at home and he knows everyone cheats....but he can't quite help himself for still loving it..........

Bonjour papa!

No, they didn't know. They know now though... Back then, after Contador's Vuelta (and Purito's and Valverde's), they need to make sure the win is theirs. Hence the motors came...

Naah bertie was crap during the whole year 2013, his only victory was a stage in the Tour de San Luis in January. Moreover, Sky knew that bertie wouldn't be bold enough to use his pre-ban motors, so no need to use motors against him.

Posted this in the DW thread...

Comic gold from the one and only David Walsh... I can't wait for his world tour... "The World is Flat"

The case against Chris Froome is powerful in so many ways, all it lacks is evidence

He argues if people think Dan Martin is clean, why not Chris Froome!!!! And conveniently leaves out Froomes Vuelta win and his medal in the World's TT etc etc etc


If Dan Martin isn’t doping why question Froome?

But he does mention the Vuelta and World TT's...specifically.

But other than that yeah i agree that article is complete tosh. I particularly like how simply and briefly he explains the whole period from 2007-2011 and the magical transformation.

yup...DW going off message....its was supposed to be the fat. Perhaps they have realised the dodgy fax (from the grassy knoll) and the 17% body fat didn't quite stand up to closer scrutiny.....

Poor Swart...out the loop

Contador was entrenched in second place at the Tour until he blew himself up on the Alpe d'Huez stage. He was Froome's closest challenger until he decided that only the win would do :confused:
