Re: Re:

Only 1/3 through Freeman's book so far but, for anyone in the clinic I would recommend it. Fascinating stuff so far. Decided to read it through rather than skip to find any controversy, but really opens the the lid of the role of a team doctors day-to-day role within a cycling team.

Yes Sam the Freeman book looks like a real winner! Such insight!

Walsh better watch out!

This is gonna be huge. Nobel prizes for literature, umpteen film adaptations and broadway musicals by Lloyd Webber, Massive.

All I can say is wow. That got through an editorial process? Dan Brown books are better written than that...

That's where you're going wrong Sam

I really enjoyed it. Obviously it's aimed at the amateur rider and dumbed down, but it's a window into a team doctors role in a cycling team nonetheless.

97.5 Oskar Svendsen - Cycling - 18 year old from Lillehammer, Norway. The test was conducted in Sept 2012 at the University College of Lillehammer by physiologist Joar Hansen.

luckily i have a fried doing an online review....'as it happens' so to speak

2KG sh*ts

what a turbo is

what VO2 max is

he weighs riders (doesn't tell SDB - secret squirrel)

no mention of tramadol

and perhaps if you've read the whole thing, how did SKY miss the fact that if Froome just lost weight he would be better than mercxk???

Are you saying i'm not allowed to enjoy a book? The clinic now thinks they are the judge of who can and can't enjoy something. You guys have serious issues of balance.

One person.

Although according to Freeman “a top cyclist might” have one that high

 

[gillan1969]

his maths ain't that good either...he thinks a third from 450 is 100

bloomin eck...was he involved in counting froome's puffs????????????????????????????????????

I think he's just used Oskar Svendse as the top example, because he's the cyclist at the moment with highest ever recorded VO2. Next is Kurt Asle Arvesen, Chris Froome and Greg Lemond both around 93 iirc.

A cheap ghost, not knowing much about the subject, will fill in blanks with Googling. So when explaining how high VO2 Max can go, a cheap ghost would Google something like, I don't know, vo2 max cyclist highest. And high up the first page of responses would be VO2 max World Records - Topend Sports, where you will find Oskar Svendsen and his 97.5. The very figure the ghost used here.

You don't have to be a mind reader to be able to work this out. All you need is a brain and access to Google.

Richard Freeman and the cheap ghost Sam won’t be happy with that depiction.

Another book in the long history of quality Team Sky and BC literature.


How they can sell this crap with a straight face is beyond me.

i used google and it told me Bjorn Daehlie had the highest ever recorded at 96. so maybe you should tell google their results are wrong. the point is that "top cyclists (plural)" do not have a 97.5 vo2 max.

 

[samhocking]

Freeman's actual words were
"A top cyclist might have one of 97.5"
Given a junior cyclist has one of 97.5 already and was a World Champion, I think we can understand a top cyclist 'might' have one of 97.5 too?
