He sure ain't happy about result of todays stage of Tour of Turkey

I was not often in my life so angry about a result of someone else. And I see many people around me feeling the same

I have not seen him complaining about the ridiculous Sky fraud but when a Turk wins then he starts buggin. I am pretty sure Sayer's win can be marked down to marginal gains.

Yah! Every Clinic thread can somehow be about Sky! Wooo!

 

[Netserk]

I think most people remember last year after watching today.

~~~

This thread is *not* about Sky.

I don't place much value in complaints saved for riders outside the "family" whose performances are no more egregious than more well known European riders.

Watching it today and it was just plain wrong. At the steepest part of the climb he was in the big ring and off he goes, making up the difference to the guys in front easily. If he isnt caught then just give up.


And I am sick of people going on about sky in every thread . We know its suspect there are masses of pages on it. C an we not have a discussion on something which in its own right stinks without all the sky trolls

 

[Benotti69]

Interesting that Kittel doesn't mention Berhane who won his stage 40" faster than last year's doped winner

Today's trivia quiz.

When was the last time a rider improved from 160th overall one year to winning (well, probably) the GC the following season.

My statement is not specifically about Sky. It is about the double standard, which looks a bit racist, of complaining about a Turk winning while the European races are filled with riders who are just as suspicious.

It is enlightening that your reaction to Sayar is the same reaction others have to Froome.

 

[deValtos]

Is Kittels comment about Mustafa Sayar being an unknown doing well or does he have a 'dodgy' past ?

I've never heard of Mustafa Sayar before today so I'm wondering what the background to this comment by Kittel is.

First of all last year wasn't *that* impressive number-wise (W/kg). Second of all there was a headwind last year, and IIRC tailwind this year.

EDIT: And yes I do think that he is a doper.

And last year Gabrovski rode on his own, Berhane was in a group.

Rascist.....the guy went overkill. I call it as I see it as I did with the spanish Armada in the Vuelta and vroom vroom ,well he is right up there now.
The commetators have a field day, but thats because the guy was panting the other day and a no hoper...if they called out every top rider then they would have to call out every winner.

Its not enlightening at all it common sense.

This is a prime example of why pro cyclists are too stupid to be allowed to use Twitter. On the eve of a rider winning his own home Tour, Kittel drops a turd in the swimming pool. Couldn't he wait a few days?

 

[noddy69]

Kittel is only posting what everyone is thinking. The more that happens the more scrutiny riders come under the better the sport gets....why not say it, it bloody obvious

 

[RHRH19861986]

Kittel, shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is absolute **** what you talk:

About Mustafa Sayar!!

About Jan Ullrich!!

Whta do you think who your are?!!!!!!!!

Yeah Kittel.....It just a weetabix breakfast !!!

You seriously believe that performance today was ok ? seriously

I agree. I will keep on cheering for riders that refuse to shut about obvious doping use. Do not give the omerta. Chance.

Ps Jetse Bol of Blanco also tweeted that the real winner will probably be known in a few months.

What are you angry about, at least he has understood that Doping needs to be fought from within the peloton as well, not just from the outside.

But only clean riders have the right to comlain about dopers....

If Marcel is clean, he´s free to complain.

Omerta lives...in the clinic. How often here do I see riders castigated for speaking out, the same way people speak out here about suspicious performances everyday. It appears you only like it when they speak out riders you like to speak out about. They are in double trouble if they actually cite an example of a clean rider that you have already spoken out about as being a dirty dawg.

Then they are being unprofessional and a big meanie to the poor rider.

This is why I like Benotti, consistency

 

[Le Baroudeur]

I can't for the life of me think what it is about Kitten that reminds me so much of Jörg Jaksche...

Is Kittels comment about Mustafa Sayar being an unknown doing well or does he have a 'dodgy' past ?

I've never heard of Mustafa Sayar before today so I'm wondering what the background to this comment by Kittel is.

Sayar is 24 and probably about the most promising of the young Turkish riders. He's been podiuming pretty much every Turkish 2.2 race for a couple of years now, and arrived at this race fresh from a couple of stage race podiums in Algeria (beating the likes of Schumacher and Zaballa, competing on a level with Victor de la Parte, who was a pretty promising young Spanish prospect a couple of years ago, but was named in the mostly amateur ring that was turned in by Tondó), and this is the race he will have built his whole year around. And at least he is young, not a mid-30s ex-doper suddenly going superman.

However, he is riding for a team with previous (at this very race), the last (only) time he raced a race rated higher than .2 outside of the Tour of Turkey was the 2011 Volta a Portugal where the entire Konya Törku-Sekerspor team except for Danail Petrov had to climb off in the first half of the race leaving Petrov on his own for half an 11 day race, the step from 62nd (his previous best at the Presidential Tour, in 2011) to this is pretty huge, and it looked ridiculous enough that I baulked at the sight of it.

Didn't Basson drop a turd in the swimming pool/
