Ok, I might sing up to twitter just to hear these two sling insults.

I don't think you actually have to sign up, to see what ppl say on twitter

Anyway TInkov is a total jerk, not worth following

I see from a tweet Tinkov actually thinks Froome was racing T-A

Science is back

Bjarne Riis

[...] revealed that he had convinced Contador to train with more structure and scientifically.

is this the so called arms race?

Not cool cycling should be about passion, not about science.

Passion - or at least being hungry:

I fund it funny that the usual W/Kg clowns like veloclinic and festinaboy keep it quiet today.

It's ok to raise doubts/make bad noise on some but not on others.

Acutally it would be very difficult to come up with W/KG for first climb, as it was not all on TV,

the second would not be that high after having been pulling for so long prior to it.

It would not be that difficult to have an approximation for the duration of Contador's decisive attack on the Passo Lanciano.

Good thing Oleg Tinkov Bought Team Saxo !

He's invested some much needed funds and thrown down the Gauntlet to SKY !

Now we need Astana and Nibbles to up their game and we'll have a fascinating July!

 

[Armchaircyclist]

Of course suspicious by Contador today. But lets say like the sky-defenders, look who he beat, what was the name of the guy 6-7 seconds behind, a nobody right ?
Lets not confuse this with facts, like he pulled away from the opposition, catches a break, and pulls the break into the finish, and then destroys them on the last uphill.

What I'd like an answer to though is this: Is he thinner than last year, or does he look the same ? The big question being if Tinkoff found out what the dawg is on, the stuff that makes you thinner and stronger at the same time.. There must be some hardcore fans who can tell if he has lost weight, it seemed so to me, but I can't tell for sure.

Maybe because his W/kg isn't that ridiculous? The figure I've seen for Guardiagrele is 5.3 W/kg. His power output on Lanciano will undoubtedly be higher but I haven't seen any calculations for it. Vetooo said on Twitter he'd calculate it.

He is definitely skinnier than last year. Not as skinny as before 2013 though. But he's got time still.

LOL Johnny Vee shattered that his dream of Anglo Domination is not taking place .

The Spanish and the Italians are not dumb. They were the pioneers of Scientific Training, just neeeded to go back to old ways.

Don't worry it will be near the magic figure of 6. Saxo are fast learners !

Looks like Dirty Bertie has increased the beef in take. I guess he's on British beef and not the poor quality Spanish beef.

the duration of the attack...yes...probably even that will be difficult with all the recordings having the ads edited out...
but the full climb? if anyone has watched eitb,sporza,rai,bein sport and the coverage there started at 39-40 km to go(and not 37 like on eurosport) let me know please. no, i don't think contador went faster than robobasso in 2006(6,5 w/kg for 35 minutes) but still it would be fun to compare


brailsford is shiiting his pants...i luv it.

I can't see anyone saying Contador is definitely clean here. Just because we're not throwing out numbers doesn't mean there's no noise.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Bertie (or maybe it was Floyd) is back!
There Will Be Blood.

Remember the clinic's official motto.

the ‘dark era’ has not ended, it has just morphed into a new guise.

Very very roughly under 6 w/kg for about 10 minutes

But that's without knowing the wind and with still over 40 minutes to race after the climb

 

[The Hitch]

I think Berti will go full *** this year. No way will he be prepared to suffer another humiliation at the hands of Froome. UCI should be all over him.

Good prediction JR, right on time.
