@mouWho is that and why should we care
I wasn't just talking about Pogacar, even the watts of Evenepoel were ridiculous.Vingegaard also beat Pantani's record by a big margin (and after a horrible injury in April), hell even Evenepoel beat Pantani's record by over 30 seconds (sure he had some very good climbing performances in the past - 2022 Vuelta, 2023 Catalunya etc. - but I did not expect him to beat Pantani's record). The times on PdB just look so absurd to me.
Also I think Pla d'Adet was already very suspect (suspect even compared to their previous years I mean), and clearly better than Pogacar 2020 Peyresourde (and they already improved year to year since then but had a massive jump this year) but PdB was next level.
Armstrong was clean, compared with sunday.The last thing I'll say for the people that don't believe in cycling, the cynics and the sceptics, I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry you can't dream big and I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles.
Because he's Quasimodo. He predicted all this
Yeah but is he like some sort of insider who gets high a lot or just a meme

Not that its technically not possible but what I always think with motors - isn't it the most easiest thing in the world to detect them?I think only some kind of blood doping or motors could so suddenly improve performances to such a degree. I've always dismissed motors up until now for climbing performances, as blood doping has been sufficient to explain what we've witnessed, but this time it's seriously WTAF.
Lance Armstrong - the great Messiah.The last thing I'll say for the people that don't believe in cycling, the cynics and the sceptics, I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry you can't dream big and I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles.
Motor doping doesn't make sense on the big scale. Too many loose ends.Not that its technically not possible but what I always think with motors - isn't it the most easiest thing in the world to detect them?
Froome is in the realm of plausibility for me, at least in terms of not using super powerful PEDs...he probably used some stuff to cut weight. His watts were never insane, don't think he ever did over 6 w/kg for more than 20 min.Froome even cleaner (and I've argued for years with mental people foaming from their mouths ffs...)
I don't think he was banned for the claims he was making about PogacarCan we get a petition to ask the admins to remove the ban of @mou? All of his claims turned out to be true while some posters here were chatting cr@p.
The new mod only rewards stupidityCan we get a petition to ask the admins to remove the ban of @mou? All of his claims turned out to be true while some posters here were chatting cr@p.
Ban the other posters, only fair.Can we get a petition to ask the admins to remove the ban of @mou? All of his claims turned out to be true while some posters here were chatting cr@p.

So much talk of "incredible naturally low lactate levels"
Talk about "specialised training that has come on leaps and bounds quickly"
Insane 100 rpm+ cadences on climbs
Is this 1999?
Also this made me laugh so *** much from Guimard:
Vingegaard and Pogačar dominate the mountains, as French analysts dispute doping suspicions - ProCyclingUK.com
Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard continue to leave the peloton in awe with their exceptional performances and relentless progression over the past four years. Their ability to maintain a high cadence and minimise fatigue has led to significant gaps between them and their competitors, sparking...procyclinguk.com
“Today’s riders, at the same age as in the past, have between 50 and 100 watts more power. Over the last 25 years, the population has grown by about 20 cm.”
Has he got dementia?
Average male height of European men born in:
1978: 177.03 cm
1987: 177.20 cm
1996: 177.22 cm
So true!Also:
“When 15 riders go faster than Pantani or Armstrong, it’s not a doping issue. We are better trained, better prepared, and we have equipment that is more advanced than 15 or 20 years ago,” Guimard emphasised.
So it can't be doping because we know only ever a few riders use doping. Makes total sense. Like really a lot. So much so that I'd assume he definitely knows he talking **
The logic is so strong it even works for other sports!“When 15 guys are stronger than Eddie Hall, it’s not a doping issue.”
On the other hand, Froome really is the poster child of "from donkey to race horse". So I am totally convinced he was one of the heavy dopers back then. But it seemed like more the weigh loss stuff was en vogue.Froome even cleaner (and I've argued for years with mental people foaming from their mouths ffs...)
