Ok pog is unknown for you in 2023🤣 when he became the 1st rider in this century to win the tour of flanders as a tour de france winner☹️Everyone knows he was the best rider in 2023 with the exceptions of his vulnerabilities in the tours heat. If it was carbon monoxide visma also admitted that they used it. Bardet was just talking about 2nd tier riders who he used to beat now they are way ahead of him
What relationship? Is that UAE-owned cycling app sponsoring the so-called indoor world championships? The desperation level is getting very pathetic here.
My guess is that he was talking about Derek Gee.
Exactly, that comment was almost certainly about him and IPT, who work with a big company involved with that tech.
remember when Lappartient was elected after Cookson at the end on 2017 and he came to end the Sky domination? Sky-Ineos, under a French UCI president won: 2 TDF, 3 Giro, Roubaix, Suisse, Dauphiné, Romandie, Amstel, etc
Yeah, it's not correct that number. 340 W is Pog's Zone 2 ceiling. Can't believe that he put 3 minutes into Remco riding in Zone 2.
Lappartient's first move was to announce that Froome had failed a doping test. He wanted to ban Froome, but could not because the WADA president was still british. I'm sure Froome's doping case would never have come to light if Cookson had stayed on as UCI president. Who knows how much bad stuff this corrupt clown has been sweeping under the carpet over the years...
I think your vestment in moto doping explanations is mostly fantasy. I see the UCI's investment in it as much misdirection rather than interdiction. It politically takes the heat off of serious doping testing at the times that mean something: random whereabouts in far flung camps. If there is doping mischief these days it is more likely before an event than during.
Like what, for example? Because the article doesn't say anything more about the relationship between the UCI and UAE other than MyWhoosh replaced Zwift.
Why do you think UCI, ITA & WADA are desperately looking for a whistleblower - even offering cash for info?Floyd.
Floyd, and some likely caving by Chris Carmichael and others who no longer suckled at the teat of Armstrong. A few friends that did stints coaching in Carmichael's system and didn't race in Armstrong's early days wondered how Chris could claim such credentials. The secret was in the secrets....he knew Lance when he was a Junior under USAC. Other riders who toiled in that system suggested Carmichael was an empty coaching source.Floyd.
I'm reading Tyler Hamilton's book and Lance himself called the UCI on Tyler when TH dropped him on Mont Ventoux. TH writes that the UCI likes to protect its own, especially young superstars. I think eventually someone gets jealous or angry enough that they whistleblow--they can't stand the abuse of power, they're tired of getting popped and living in fear all the time, etc. Any bets on who will crack or get popped first?
As I noted above the top guys are very visable and adored by their countrymen and most other riders respect them. Lance was clearly another type of businessman and sought out the same sort of guys to cover for him.
Will Tadej's gregarios get tired of him pushing furious paces, making them work hard when they're already ahead? Will his success go to his head and make him arrogant and difficult?
I get what you're saying, but who would be willing to pop him seeing as he seems so well-liked by all involved?
