The GB track team have Sky on their shorts so I think it is appropriate to ask here. King Boonen is clearly pro Sky and GB. Could they please explain their own take on how the whole GB team performed so incredibly well in Rio? How does an already top successful rider some late 20s improve so much?
Cavendish takes I think 8 seconds off his best IP time and is disappointed not to break Sir Brad's Olympic record even though Sir Brad is probably the best IP rider ever. How does a road sprinter who cannot Time Trial to save his life with so little time to train after the tour, go so close to Sir Brad's time? No marginal gains here. Massive unbelievable incredible stupendous gains.
How does Laura Trot take so much off her PB when she has done so many IPs?
How does Kenny ride a 9.5 at sea level? Kenny's father in law to be told me at the event that Kenny wanted to quit last year. What a turn around.
How can Skinner improve so much from the worlds but also on any of his previous performances?
The British women couldn't qualify for the womens team sprint and I have no doubt on their top 2 qualifying rides, that they would have won the TS had they qualified.
Both TPs men and women break world records. Less surprising but still amazing.
Not just them though.
How does Lasse Hansen take 5 seconds off his PB for the IP? Did you all see how he lapped the field in the points race? Beyond normal in my opinion. It took him many laps.
How does Viviani take seconds off his PB for the IP?
These two have done so many IPs including at many worlds events. So how do they improve so much in one go?
These guys made Gaviria look second rate which they couldn't do six months earlier.
Thanks
Hi Craigee, I'm not pro Sky, pro GB or pro anyone. I'm anti rubbish and in this very specific case, anti violating people's human rights.
Thanks for your reply King Boonen
I don't think any athlete's medical records regarding their chosen sport should be private. That line only helps with the covering up of stuff like Wiggins has just got caught out on. I go with those saying it's extremely convenient having Cookson at the top. Many of the World leading Sports Bodies are riddled with corruption.
I don't blame the Russians. It's called Pay Back.
I'll just add here, that all TUE's should be made public because the gambling public bet on the major sporting events. I like a bet myself. Agencies like Ladbrokes. In America a racehorse trainer caught doping a horse can have added charges related to ripping off the gambling public.
