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.
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.

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.

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.

When you say "program" do you mean a firmware update to their bikes?
