King Boonen said:He clearly belongs in here, not least because there has hardly been a raised eyebrow about his performances.
they have to do with the point you were making (that was that there has hardly been a raised eyebrow about his performances)... the eyebrows have already been raised and no one tried to close them This Vuelta have shown a lot of weakness signs for Nibali so no surprise no one posted anything... During the Giro, people posted "Nibs is doping" and the reaction of the clinic was "yeah...".King Boonen said:The thoughts of the posters in the thread have nothing to do with the point I was making. Last posted in before the Vuelta started? That the one?
Zam_Olyas said:On topic . They were all great and i love all of them.
pugdog said:I can't blame you for your disappointement as a fan, but what makes you think that Nibali, Valverde, Purito et al weren't doped? Why is it unique to Chris and Chris?
King Boonen said:Only person to beat Sky "the super dopers" procycling at their own game, twice, walked a massively difficult Giro making everyone else look like a chump and almost doubles up with a second GT at the Vuelta, only getting beaten because a fresh doper is quicker than a tired doper. Yet hardly gets a mention in here from people who claim they just want to discuss doping performances, not attack certain riders. That was funny. He'll close the show with a standing ovation if he wins the world's.

Thats enough, too much work to look, there were a lot of great mutant cycling moments this year. It was a nice season, boys done me proud.

that was definitely up there as one of the most freakish moments of the year. My favourite part is when he sprints away from Peraud and the other guy. Reminds me of Lance at sestriere.
Of course Jimmyfingers will tell you that sky didnt dominate the stage races this year. What we saw here was Froome only at 80% or so before his tour peak.
