The Climb (Froome's first autobiography)

It's very true. Look at the cobble recon. Porte & Co. had to drop back so the film crew could film the Dawg in full recon mode.

So when you know all that you know everything else is but a show.

Is Froome working on his seated attack for the cobbles? Froome to drop Cancellara and solo to victory

Spartacus lucky that the Knights don't train in wind tunnels with servants.

@thehog or anybody in the know:
was wondering, is Bermon mentioned in the book?
loosing track as to the docs froome is or has been involved with.
(chunge x2, freeman, farrell, leinders?, bermon)

This is a list - which you would think would be exhaustive for maximum effect - of his diseases, doctors, clinics and countries.

No mention of Bermon.

Yep no mention. Walsh sure did his homework

Good video of Contador speaking English.

Rabbits reach sexual maturity at 3-4 months and have tons of sex so maybe Froomey was protecting the kids from the spectacle..sort of public service

What the hell is that article? Froome loves to point the finger, doesn't he? There's a distinct attempt to blame the team for his diseases. Always someone else to blame. Bizarre, the part I read before I couldn't take it anymore. There was no mention of asthma in his book, was there?

He never acknowledges his own stupidity in contracting the most serious of his many illnesses though, Typhoid & Bilharzia !

What educated person, let alone a professional athlete, goes funking swimming in a lake in rural Africa !!! A kid or stupid teenager, sure of their own immortality I could understand, but a professional athlete ?

I live in a first world country, & used to kayak a good bit, & there's plenty of places where I'd be very wary of going in the water.

[SeriousSam]

[Race Radio]

Henderson just crashed out of the Tour. Ligget said he was one of the top 2 lead out men in the sport and "One of the most popular cyclists in the world"

Phil thought Lance was a nice guy too ...... what more needs be said about his Judgement ?

 

[Nederick]

Credit due to Chris for his astute tactics and rushing this book out before TdF 2014.

You only really understand Phil Liggett when you're as drunk as he is.

Re:

So english speaking dopers are fine. Julich is a great guy and coach.

But for the love of god, stay away from Contador. He is barabbas.

Im sure the bots will love it though, and call me a racist for pointing this out.

Where are the Bots? Must be off reading the Climb!

I want the technology to show I'm clean (but won't release my data).

Dawg needs the technology to prove he is clean

But won’t release the reasoned decision on his positive test

Don’t worry, hog. Sam and Rick will be along to explain how it’s all a misunderstanding any moment.
