I honestly have no captal in it, so likely skullduggery, which it likely is. The problem Is the absence of trust. Then one should review why that is so...

do we need trust to watch the racing? going back as early as 1996, I was a 16 years old fan of Miguel, I would have accepted any banned magic potion for Miguel to go berzerk and get time back and win the Tour. his les Arcs defeat was terrible for me. I still remember how sad I was that evening while thinking about where he could gain back time, if he could get better...
are we aware that so many fans are just pure Rogla/Jonas/Pog fangirls (dear me the fangirls crack me up) who don't care about actual trust and think "my rider is cleaner than yours"

Is there actually anyone that reads or posts on CN that believes in Unicorn Riders? I'd love a show of hands.

So did Chris Froome on the Ventoux back in 2013.

It still looked weird as hell and remains weird to this day, including his flat heart rate. So I have no complaints or recriminations when people start digging on the bike side of things.
I would call Froome doing the eggbeater up Ventoux and...this as contrasting examples, rather than comparable ones. This is a nothingburger.

No, however, a lack of trust is prudent, lest we give up critical thought. The Italians say: “Chi pensa male sbaglia, ma spesso ci si azzecca” ("To think bad is a sin, but often one gets it right.")
 
Guys, guys, guys ...

Tongue and cheek here

It is pretty obvious that if Pog is the heaviest but he can also out climb the other two, that he has so much more power he's going to be able to pummel them in a head-to-head contest. Only Rem the Ram with his aerodynamic edge is able to edge ahead by a few seconds in a time trial.

Nothing to see here!
 
Digger Maximus Vayerism Mocycling 6Watts where's the outrage?
isn't cycling in danger? 2 wins in a day UAE today. when Sky did that in Algarve-Andalucia people were shouting LIKE MAD. UAE is 10 times stronger than Sky. where is the ANGER of the Sky years? anyone but Sky?
people were mad at Brailsford, and now that Gianetti-Matxin are winning EVERYTHING they have disappeared from here and from twitter

Not only is it kinda impressive that you're still this hung up on the Sky criticism, it's also factually incorrect because people are in the Pogacar Clinic thread every day and the "is UAE too much" thread is active as well

yes, it is too much. but the anger, the vitriol, the hate is not the same. the obsession is not the same. the pure hate is gone
