I wish Rooney would go bald again. Special powers in those boys, now I'm not so sure. I mean a toupee? Seriously.

Good. The more people on the magic sauce the more likely some of it is going to splash around and leak into the general population, where it can be picked up by super sleuth Inspector David "Clouseau" Walsh.

Get the Sir Brailsfraud and Kerrison on the case, "We will deliver a world cup within the next 4 years". Get the boys on the Froomey juice and back it up with some mumbo jumbo science and hey presto Jules Rimet sitting in London.

 

[JimmyFingers]

That would be some sort of achievement, since the Jules Rimet trpohy was stolen and never recovered, but do carry on with your witty and highly original little speech

Less of the insults, it indicates your level of intelligence. We all start somewhere, take issue with the post not the poster. Looks like I touched a little nerve.

Superb. Probably a collective of Anglo doping apologists committing acts of humour rather than journalism

No one is saying you can't say what you want, there was just simething in your comment in thisCN Article that looked like those of a clinic regular, perhaps one currently banned, of course I could be wrong

How the hell did you ever become a mod? Was it some kind of April Fools day joke? Meant to be a one day thing but people forgot about it and so you just ran with it?

Wrong mate, long time viewer and first time poster. Just a little respect required, that's all.

We all don't share the same opinions as you, spent long enough listening to Armstrong and US Postal apologists and now see them substituted with SKY/Froome/Wiggins followers...

The dancers change but the music stays the same.

Exactly. Good of you to register to post the same old story. One more time. Got any original thoughts? They're gagging for it here.

One does not have to add anything new or profound to the debate to add to the list of opinions.

Looking over your posts, your regurgitation add's 0 of original thought.

Your Froome juice is very original though. Smells like BroDeal.

Let's compare. I'm claiming at least a partial credit for the following:

- dispensing with the 'cycling's solved, no improvements through coaching/management/motivation' hogwash
- introduced breathing efficiency
- deployed the Obree shield
- put a stop to the 'comparable times to dope riders' canard
- made friends with Norm Chomsky, forum logician

You appear to have repeated Sky = Postal. Am I doing you a disservice?

 

[Dear Wiggo]

- introduced breathing efficiency

Something Froome has always done for no benefit. So a furphy at best.

You've done more in 27 posts than I in 13,208

 

[Eshnar]

I have to say, I'm starting to get very annoyed. Maybe we should set the sockpuppet accusations as a bannable offence?
STOP THAT. Understood?
If you want to point out something like that, either report it or PM a mod. Doing it publicly is NOT good.

Sorry mate, that was not my moment of conversion by Ventoux Boar on the road to Damascus.
Your posts, while welcome, are stretching the boundaries of what I think is required to explain the dominance of one team on tours.
- Improvement in coaching etc will bring gains but at the top end level not enough to transform pack fodder to super domestique or campionissimo.
- Breathing efficiency improvement, I’m not buying that one. Has Froome even done a VO2 max test???
- Obree bike positioning, from what I understand Froome didn’t go near a wind tunnel for his TT positioning
