The Chris Squared Thread

[Ferminal]

I don't get it, what did Hayden do wrong?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

It's more about Cound proving her hypocrisy. Since it's the wrong attitude to have to not question Horner (hence Hayden is apparently in the wrong for not being interested in Horner's power data), yet she's been throwing fits about anybody questioning her darling Dawg.

 

[horsinabout]

I empathise a lot with a lot of people here and their incredulous reaction to Froome.

It simply isn't credible, to be smashing up a field of that quality at that age. The worst thing is knowing there is no way of knowing, no testing regime we can believe in, no governing body we can rely on.

Holy sweetness JF!

Pretty boy wasn't he?



What happened to all the Goldie locks?


In Greek mythology Sampson had all his hair cut off by his lover
whilst he slept. This made him lose all his strength.

Seems that in professional cycling you lose all your hair and then you gain all your strength. So much for Greek myths.

No he wasn't. They never found anything more then an email from Springsteen saying how hard it was to find Repoxygen. There is no evidence he, or anyone else, ever obtained it and the raid on his houses and offices did not turn it up.

Regardless Repoxygen would have limited benefit as it has a automatic shut off that stops the body's production of RBC once Hct hit a normal level. It is not going to enable a rider to hit 65% with no detection.

While it is certainly possible there is some gene doping, perhaps more focused oround weight then Hct, but most the stories I have read about gene doping in cycling involve some dupe buying saline labeled as gene doping.

[blackcat]

No, s**t, Sherlock. Nobody thinks Horner's credible. Nobody. What's funny is that his performance is like a giant slap in Sky's face. It's like Horner took a giant p!ss on the entire Sky fandom and they all think it's raining beer.

....although, frankly, I can see how one would make that mistake if we're talking about say Budweiser.

worth quoting

looking forward to foxxybrown telling us how this is the most ridiculous performance in cycling history while being not sure about Froome

Can't wait for the congratulatory words from Brailsford. Will be full of praise and wonderment.

The evolution of the human race continues. Next stop, telekinesis. I am glad Brailsford has shown us the way.

 

[sniper]

the section you quote about Ian Thorpe being a genetic experiment is actually from the COMMENTS below the article.

i duly noted that...in the post you quote.

Agassi had a mullet.

Just trying to keep the attention away from the bald spot

ok, thanks for the clarification.

so back to the drawing bord.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

How is Horner able to do this without Sky's secret recipe of marginal gains?

Did Horner figure out how to warm down somehow? I didn't even see him wearing a jacket today.

 

[Galic Ho]

I was thinking how bad it is that The Cobra is serving an 8 year ban (? not sure if it's 8 but think it is off the top of my head) from CONI and how if they just conveniently forgot, then we'd see some real competition for the Chris Squared act.

Then it occurred to me. Ricco isn't even 30, heck by the time his ban is up, he will be at the apex of Horner's prime, now known as peaking after 37. Should be just in time to stop the Dawg going for his 8th or 9th consecutive Tour win. Can't wait!

Because we don't condone doping and very hard on dopers.

 

[Galic Ho]

CONI have given out a number of life bans in the last 3 years. Honestly, does anyone here think Froome and Horner would have gotten away with their crap in the Giro?

I don't. We'll find out with Porte next year. Porte isn't married to an Italian, unlike a number of other Aussie riders (might be because he's attached at the hip to the Dawg) and he talks like Horner...yeah I can't see him charming his way through the South.

But yeah...I'd like Ricco back please. Next year. Plastic surgery, a name change. People are literally that gullible I am sure it can be done and they'd buy it.

I am sure many will enjoy this exchange


Hayden Roulston ‏@HaydenRoulston
Can't wait to see @hornerakg's power files along with EVERY reporter out there. Not! #boring #whocares! Just want to see him win!

Michelle Cound ‏@michellecound 1m
Interesting comment from @HaydenRoulston that's the attitude to have (not!)

Come on then Michelle get Sky to release all of Froome's data since he joined Sky.

 

[erader]

people are gullible. most need to believe in someone while condemning his twin.

there are really only two options:

1) they all dope

2) they are clean ... again

pick one .

 

[hrotha]

It's more about Cound proving her hypocrisy. Since it's the wrong attitude to have to not question Horner (hence Hayden is apparently in the wrong for not being interested in Horner's power data), yet she's been throwing fits about anybody questioning her darling Dawg.

To be fair she's talked about sharing Froome's values and what not. Whether or not you believe her, that tweet is consistent with her public position on this matter.

Did that already...

somebody might feel offended there.

“Jonathan is a visionary,” Danielson said.

He and others say cycling now has more of a focus on “marginal gains” that improve speed incrementally, like using more aerodynamic equipment.

Also, “people are paying a lot more attention to diet and nutrition,” he said. “That’s where people are getting the edge now.” He pointed out that some teams have chefs who cook with ingredients that act as natural anti-inflammatory agents to help riders recover more quickly.

“The sport has evolved so much,” he said. “I think cycling is better than ever.”

[Race Radio]

I was told by someone who would know that Rider-15 is not Horner. Neither is rider 17

Not so sure of this now. Not sure at all

 

[Race Radio]

The reason Froome's fans are so angry with Horner is that they know he would have dropped Froome and Quintana.....spanked them

Like I said, the 2014 Tour just got a lot more interesting...I just wonder why they are so confident about not being caught.

Confident or not, why not sound confident, eh?
