Dawg wants the Top 10 most doped up performancesDanielSong39 said:Looks like we have another entry to the list.
No, this was a run-of-the-mill performance. Don't be so sensationalistic.DanielSong39 said:Looks like we have another entry to the list.
+1 The sitting attack was something else. I remember walking away from the TV. It didn`t look real. Froome always look as he doesn`t belong with the other contenders. The geometry of his bike is that of a sportive rider and his saddle height is too low and he spins @ 120 rpm. Even armstrong looked like he could ride a bike.JosephK said:For me, it is Froome on Mt. Ventoux 2013 -- not for its greatness, but for its ridiculousness. I realize this thread might be intended to be restricted to performances in which doping was confirmed through a positive test or later admission by a rider -- which would technically exclude Froome's performance that day -- but come on.![]()
I'd say the context makes it at least up there with Nibali's comeback. Depending on the rest of the race, it could end up topping all of his Tour wins, only getting 2nd behind his breakout performance in the Vuelta.hrotha said:No, this was a run-of-the-mill performance.

Sky better sack their supplier - A product that gives a 6 second advantage is a waste of money.DanielSong39 said:The Sky team received their e-bikes just in time; there isn't much else to say.
In relative terms, as in within this race, yes. In historical terms, he climbed zoncolan really really fast. Much faster than Basso for instance.hrotha said:Well yeah, if he wins the race or gets close to it I can see it. But he was only a bit better than everyone else with a late attack on a climb that usually creates big gaps. It's no big deal yet, for Froome's ridiculous standards.
This is ridiculous indeed, but at least he doesn't look ugly on a bikePhiLiz said:Watching one, right now.
Not much, but something...Simurgh said:This is ridiculous indeed, but at least he doesn't look ugly on a bikePhiLiz said:Watching one, right now.![]()
Maybe, but the Giro TT next week is forcing Yates to ride aggressively to build a lead over DemoulinDanielSong39 said:Time to put Simon Yates on the alien list?
Ha! I was thinking the exact same thing. Froome looks terrible on a bicycle.Simurgh said:This is ridiculous indeed, but at least he doesn't look ugly on a bikePhiLiz said:Watching one, right now.![]()

I think today's episode might even make the Mutant Hall of Fame -- deciding at 18K out to trot away from the remaining elite GC group. But surely they'd have numbers on him, yes? Five against one. No problem, just solo it in! Next time, might as well go from 75K out. And all this after a day of full-on chasing the Dawg at his own mutant level up the Zonc. Just wait till Tuesday. :lol:thehog said:DanielSong39 said:Time to put Simon Yates on the alien list?
He has been hovering at mutant but he really wants his alien medal of honour!![]()

When you say "program" do you mean a firmware update to their bikes?Escarabajo said::lol:PhiLiz said:Watching one, right now.
I was watching with my wife and when he doing the Riis looking around and jumping so easy a couple of times we looked at each other and rolled our eyes. This is clear dominance. This is not his level. Sorry but no.
Maybe the MS team is experimenting a new program for this year.
Obviously it malfunctioned for Chaves.PhiLiz said:When you say "program" do you mean a firmware update to their bikes?Escarabajo said::lol:PhiLiz said:Watching one, right now.
