Yep. He looked ready to go do it again. Amazing.

ScienceIsCool said:Too funny. I decided to very quickly look at Uran's numbers from previous TT's like I did with Froome. Looking at only the last two years, Uran was very consistently 4-6 seconds per km slower than the winner. That is... until this year at Romandie!!
The parallels are just too perfect. I can't wait to see if this a permanent change in Uran's power output or just something he pulls off for a few races. I suspect that like Froome, he has found a permanent and massive boost in FTP.
What a joke.

hear hear, but on the other hand, opqs seems to have a few tricks "up its sleeve" as well. see ibarguren taus, for starters.CycloAndy said:Whilst I share your general scepticism about Sky's marginal gains, I can't see how a rider improving drastically after leaving Sky is a sign of Sky doping. If anything it would suggest the contrary.
Cookster15 said:I agree. It's a bit hard to take this sport sometimes. I mean the general consensus on here is they all dope. Yet we see what OPQS did today - 4 riders in the top 10 on the stage. Even if they all dope obviously all doping is not equal .... you would think we learned this with Armstrong.
