Rice = the new EPO

[BroDeal]

Garmin does not need drugs. They have rice instead. From the fitness forum:

"Received my Cycle Sport yesterday. I flipped through it and finally learned why iI've been blowing up on climbs and nearly every where else: Wheat. Eating wheat is causing me to get dropped.
The nutrtionist for Garmin has had the boys on a wheat free diet and I reckon that, ladies and gentlemen, explains Bradley Wiggins' unexplained new found climbing ability. What Garmin riders eat instead of pasta made of wheat is pasta made from rice. Rice in the morning, rice in the evening, rice at suppertime. The team's new motto is going to be: Eat Rice, Will Travel. So from now on it's rice cakes and onions slathered in olive for me! That's how I'm going to get my cycling fix."

Gluten, baby. That was the same explanation Garmin gave about Vande Velde's new found GT ability. I wonder how many riders there are in the peloton who could place in the top five of the Tour if only they ate more rice and less bread.

Title of Armstrong's upcoming book:

"It's not about the cadence"

I'm not sure if your taking the **** or not here.

And they don't eat chicken eggs anymore. They only eat eggs collected from Chinese hamster ovaries.

Finally a team spells out that the riders are not on "bread and water"

Does that mean that Fumiyuki Beppu and Yukiya Arashiro are seriously underperforming?

It only works with long grain rice. Short and medium apparently does not work.

 

[Parrot23]

Hey, you guys have it all *** backwards: it's the lighter-grained varieties that work, like Vino.

 

[Bala Verde]

Does this mean Cadel and Menchov are bad responders to long grain rice?

So after today, is Wiggins still doped to his eyeballs?

Physics says he can do it on one stage (watts/kg), experience/pedigree says not on consecutive ones. Refills would allow him the latter.

He's clean.

HA, he's still doping he probably can't recover that well. Probably needs something to help him out there.

 

[Parrot23]

Vaughters said doping was all about recovery in GTs. Sorta like Danilo attacking every single day.

NB: Wiggo's comment on DDL on Twitter--"Di Luca, what a ****er! unbelievable".

For an individual mountain stage (on non-consecutive days), we have to prove Wiggo's lost more, or nearly as much, watts than weight.

Hey, its worked for me! Went gluten-free at the end of last season. This season I have much improved results and have lasted longer into the season. But its a PITA to find gluten-free food and beer.
