Yo... was waiting for this... now the German bashing can start. M-SR and P-R. Must be hardcore doping.

 

[Saint Unix]

I have nothing to contribute here. I just realize The Clinic needs this thread.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

It wasnt against you Saint... Somebody would have opened the thread anyway.

def Foxxybrown1111(rider):
if rider == Chris Horner:
return "Doper!"
else:
return "No evidence, what about Chris Horner?"

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

This is the Degenkolb thread. If you wanna discuss Horner go to this thread...



... "redflanders" would say. So I do his work

Come on man,after Kristoff lambast,you don't expect congratulations for Degenkolb,do you? I don't see him doing nothing different from other riders,every time the winner gets the attention.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Yes sure... Actually I am surprised of too less bashing ... I guess Sky is a better punching-ball

You just told the guy off for bringing Horner into the thread, and then immediately proceed to bring in sky

Nothing particularly suspicious about Degenkolb beyond his results, so it all comes down to how well you think a clean rider could do nowadays. Which means the debate can't really be about Degenkolb himself.

 

[Poursuivant]

Would have been funny to see someone like Rowe win, I think "The Sceptic" might have spontaneously combusted.

Agreed. Extremely windy and a large, large group until the final few kilometers. Won from a group of 7 I think? He's certainly getting better results this year in big races, but no one looked overly strong today.

wait til kittel or kittell comes back and is on a tear thru july

looking forward to see Kittell v Kristoff v Cav v Greipel face off. Will be p'raps the highest calibre of field sprinters I have seen line up in July.

Question is, what if Degenkolb and Kittell and Skil then separate so Degenkolb can compete in the field sprints in July. Boonen managed to do it for about 4 years, when he was contending for Roubaix and Flanders.

But with that post, one has to ask ; Who was the last rider to win both San Remo and Roubaix in the same season ?

Yep, you are correct.

Degenkolb became only the third rider to win Milano-Sanremo and Paris-Roubaix in the same season; the last man was Sean Kelly, in 1986.

Who was the other ?

Yep, good one Susan. I was going to post that but you beat me to it.

Susan, the googlewizard....

Meh, it was all over Twitter the second Degenkolb won, together with the bit about the previous German winner and his mustache.

 

[harryh]

He was born in Eastern Germany. Every athlete from Eastern German has been made in a lab. Like Jan Ullrich. So, Degengölb is a doper. Case closed. Next.
