Thats what 8 climbs up the volcano in a 2 week span ?
Not counting any other days altitude, so probably 6-7 in reality.

In am sure that Sky"s official stance will fall somewhere along the lines of " It's a wonderful place to bring the family along for training."
Any word on who is there with him?

roundabout said:No, the road doesn't go higher than about 2300 meters.
Jeremiah said:Just curious. What's Wigans height and current weight?
Benotti69 said:Michael Rogers, Chris Froome, Konstantin Siutsou, Christian Knees and Richie Porte team mates.
Dont know how many doctors or pharmacists, but the island is probably crawling with the creatures.

Its cheap, has very little traffic, good climate, and has a steady gradient 2000+m climb.
If I wanted a place under the radar, to dope in private, I wouldn't go to the place that most peope associate with Ferrari.
If I wanted an ideal training environment, I certainly would.
Benotti69 said:A remote location with an empty hotel means lots of things. They can do what they want with no one watching and the can see very quickly if anyone arrives.
TeamSky are doing what other teams who have used this operation, doping preparation.
"Training hard to race easy", boy does that scream PEDing the training to get the bodies ability up to race better and not test positive because the PEDs have been used to train the body beyond its natural limit.
Lemond tried that without the PEDs and rode himself to exhaustion.
