RobbieCanuck said:Yeah right. Hincapie, I am so full of EPO and any other PED to get LA to the top. You mean that Hincapie? Hincapie, without dope is a forgettable footnote in cycling history.
Dear Wiggo said:He's not having to ride as a domestique at this race much - hence the stage wins. Sky have dominant GC TdF riders so you have to protect them and lose much chance of a stage win.
Otherwise, I say he's riding as well, but with less racing in his legs, so it looks more sus to me.
easy, cos the best tt'ers contested the july world champs chrono which was the Tour de France.GuyIncognito said:Which was the best TT of his career after the world titles.
Aside from the world titles, he was never brilliant against the clock, he was always about the level he is now.
It was a very popular discussion topic back in those years, just why the hell he was so good in the worlds when he was just another guy in any other TT

and no doubt he is.Dear Wiggo said:Rogers looks like he's still in the big ring.
Dear Wiggo said:Happier for Rogers to win the stage than Voekler.
Markyboyzx6r said:He just made the most ambiguous statements during interview - what was the 'I'm not afraid of the outcome any more' bit all about, I wonder. He was talking about 'doing what it took to win' and 'preparing how he had to'.
That's not Clinic-filtered view on it, it was a very disconnected set of statements.
There's a couple of stages good for him there.roundabout said:Vuelta start or we riot

Edit: how many have won a stage in all three in the same year? Cav did it in '10, right? Edit2: ah he didn't do Giro that year. Would've done it in 2011 if he didn't have to withdraw from the Vuelta.

Time to add to the list
