Leopold Konig, sketchy or part of the new clean generation?

[thehog]

He rides for Endura so has links to doping. But who is this guy? Did well at the Vuelta. Looks like the next guy to go boom and win a GT.

 

[Gung Ho Gun]

Didn't climb nearly as well as the younger Pinot, Bardet and Majka though

 

[MBotero]

Of course he's clean,if those young french guys are talented and clean,he must be clean tor the fact that he's Czech doesn't give him the same immunity the french guys get.

 

[SeriousSam]

Is he quicker than the clean young french riders?
Does he do more than 6w/kg?

If the answer is no to both I don't see how he could be any cleaner.

The French cycling thing is quickly becoming a huge strawman. How many people actually put forward French performances as evidence that cycling is clean anymore?

Isn't the theory that now cycling is cleaner the French riders have better chances?

Or did FDJ just start a doping programme? (I say FDJ and not AG2R because I trust them more)

 

[Tonton]

The French.

True

Or is it just that the French can handle a bike better and are less prone to crashing and abandoning, so at least they finish

Seriously, his ITT was much better than expected, he was very good but not that great in the big climbs, and with only Nibali as a true great GC rider left, it's hard to gauge. Had Froome and/or Contador put Nibali 10 minutes down overall, and say Quintana just behind Nibali, we would be talking about guys 7-12 in the GC.

Hard to tell...

 

[Ferminal]

Got smacked around on all continents until he was 23. Yeh, nah.

 

[melkemugg]

Why bother discussing? Everyone is doped.

Phil and Paul can't stop talking about the emergence of the young talented French riders. I hope for their sake, for the sport and for the French, they are clean.

 

[classicomano]

Yes he was riding on 2 bloodbags this Tour, I have this confirmed.

What are "links" to doping? What does that mean? For example, I have a neighbor who I am cordial with. I say hello to him when I see him but that is the extent of it. He recently got busted for drugs. Does this mean I have "links" to the narco-underworld? No, it doesn't.

You're so sure he's got "links" to doping., but you start a thread asking who this rider is because you don't know anything about him. I find that very interesting.

You need to clarify such a serious accusation. And the UCI may want to have a word with you as to how you came about this information.
