Brit track cycling are breaking records every other week! I very much doubt they do that on bread and water.

You do know these were for a new event, right? Rather than breaking records they were setting them. Then beating their own times.

I also heard that Froome broke the record on PdBF!!!! OMG

 

[gillan1969]

you really have got to take guys like Ellingworth with a pinch of salt.



Really Rod, the USADA 'reasoned decision' is basically what Walsh wrote in 'Lance to Landis' and he didn't read it?

More BS from those in the sport who are affecting the podiums!

exactly...another idiot who thinks we are zipped up the back...if we was astounded then the management should be sacking him for having absolutely no understanding of the business environment in which he operates

For you always a good result in cycling has just an explanation. We know that, but it is just your opinion, a good result could be for a lot of reason, or you think in a celan sprotr is not possible that someone or some team, can be much better than the others?

Dude, google translate really aint working for you!

I a not going to get all doc maserati on you but iirc correctly the GB track team were breaking records at Olympics nearly everytime they went on track.

To be the best in the world in a cycling event cant be done on bread and water, imo.

 

[the sceptic]

I heard the track had a tailwind. Nothing to worry about.

 

[oldcrank]

Of course you are 100% correct, my friend. The reason GBR have
broken a world record "every other week" is because the women's
4km/4rider Team Pursuit is a new event this season and the team
that held the previous 3km/3rider (i.e. GBR) has just had their
first real opportunities (the Euro Champs and the Manchester World
Cup) to race the new event in competition.

I enjoy the passion and the knowledge you bring to this forum
Taxus4a, my friend, and your posting style reminds me of a
brilliant song by Marianne Faithfull! Keep up the great work!

 

[oldcrank]

Yes, my friend, but that was the Krylatskoye Sports Complex
Velodrome in Moscow, not Manchester.
Moscow is an indoor 333m track and the air-conditioning is/was
configured to give a slight wind aid on both sides/straights of
the track, but to my knowledge that has not been successfully
reproduced in the smaller confines of a 250m velodrome.

Horner has faster times on the track

Team GB records currently held

Team Pursuit (4K men and 3k Women) set at London
TP 4K women - just set in the new event, with 3 of the 4 riders being the Olympic team.

A relatively soft 4:23 was set in qualifying, and broken by 4 seconds in the final, the qualifying time breaking their own record from the last meet.

Men Team Sprint - set at London

Thats it, unless you want to count 500m Flying TT (Hoy 2007 at Altitude) or Boardmans Hour record.

Womens Team Sprint did set a record in London, only to have it broken by China.


I don't know if team GB gets bonuses for records broken (it certainly may get some contingent funding based on WRs), but it does seem like that women's record is still a little soft.


This year the ONLY records in major track events being set by Team GB riders is the Women's 4K, and that for obvious reasons.

 

[Catwhoorg]

Incidentally, that women's TP time would have got silver at Moscow 1980 Olympics, at the men's event.

Beaten by the dirty doping Russian's but beating the notoriously clean set of riders from East Germany.

Marianne Faithful, nice doping link, my friend.

Hog, did you write this headline for Velonews?
Froome’s African unwinding ‘crucial part’ of 2014 plans

“[Coping with the demands] is going to be a crucial part of the run in to 2014 and making sure I don’t arrive in January feeling that it’s just been business the whole way through,” Froome said recently. “So hopefully I can switch off when I go back to Kenya and just unwind a bit after the season, reflect a bit and get ready mentally for next year.”

Make sure to do a little fishing and swimming whilst in Kenya, Chris. We gotta keep the badzhilla chain alive

 

[filipo]

Beware of Badzilla!

Hope Froomie stays safe this winter.

During the interview at the Florence world championships in September, Froome said that he would return to his roots in Kenya for two to three weeks with his fiancé. Froome was born in Nairobi and lived in Kenya until his early teens, when he moved to South Africa. He only made it to Europe in 2007 and it was not until 2011, with his second place in the Vuelta a España, that the international press really started notice him. After his 2013 season, the attention is at a new level.

Haha! I wish I did!

Don't worry I'm sure Leinders will explain to the UCI that Dawg went fishing in Kenya, caught a parasite, which explains his 97% hematocrit.

Yep. Keep the Badzhilla myth alive, need the myth to fall back on for BP irregularities should the BP numbers get out there.

Only 4 of the ten events are timed, Benotti, 6 if you stretch to the flying lap qualifier for the match sprint.

GB women pursuiter broke the record for the 3man 3000 3 times - since it was the first time a women's pursuit was raced at that level, and indeed the event has only existed at world level, even at 3000m since 2008. In that time GB have utterly dominated it. The 3000 record was soft, and the london 'drome is very fast.

The new 4000 records set at Apeldoorn were never going to last; a because GB didn't have the 'A' team out - (Trott, King, Roswell, Barker) and B because apeldoorn's a slow track, and C the records are even softer.
The chinese have the women's team sprint record. The men took the world record.

What you are afraid is that the myth of Froome doping falls, becouse it is your only passtime , and time is giving us the evidence.

First thing I read for skeptics, it was after the Vuelta: whatever this could have happend we will never see good result from this guy.

But if that doent work, next year there is another story. And if that doesnt work another one, always like this...

But the most important evidence is Leinders, a doctor that do the same that the others in his time, and that could do another thing, like the others, in this time.

For people who speak English, this was truly hard on the brain. Was this run through Google Translate or something? Oh, and what's the point?

My friend, I imagine similar things have been said by some
regarding the finest works of Geoffrey Chaucer.

Perhaps the posts by Taxus4a cannot rival the elegance
and symmetry of the Father of English Literature, but
they do possess an endearing lyrical beauty and passion.

I highly recommend to those who have not done so yet to
follow the link in his signature line and enjoy his study titled
'An unpolished diamond: the story of Chris Froome.'
