Will Contador Be Juiced Up Again Upon His Return

[infeXio]

Contador is the biggest problem right now. Has been since last year.

Rofl.

Contador is the biggest problem right now. Has been since last year.

Doesn't help either that his whole team has taken it to the next level as well.

The weapons in the arms race have had an upgrade. 2015 will probably be the fastest since the passport/Puerto.

Oh come on. Bertie's not even the best Spanish cyclist. Valverde is the best. Piti said so himself. He's even better now than when he was juiced.

you mean "the fastest rider" so the must geared up?

 

[Beech Mtn]

So Contador beat Froome by only 19 seconds. Doesn't take any drugs to do that. Froome has no talent.

Conspiracy theory: Maybe AC knows he's about to go down again, and just decided to hell with it, go out with a bang.

I rather suspect another ban is coming AC's way from the ADD/USADA investigation, courtesy of Levi, Johan, et al.

jawohl, I fear for Peraud/Bardet/Pinot and the French public. 2014 was nice until it lasted

 

[Fzotrlool]

Basso was the rider who dropped Froome and fired El Pistolero. The Benjamin Button Effect in real live action?

No but he has Geert Leinders and "marginal gains."

I wouldn't cry too much about those guys,if Valverde couldn't handle them

I don't cry for anyone, just noticing their octanes were enough for 2014. with the big guns this year I fear they'll struggle. different kind of fuels

Froome was dropped initially because he was in a bad position in the bunch. Once Contador got the gap he went for it. If Froome had a more tactical brain they would more than likely head to head. Contador was good today but Froome was very little behind. Froome big engine (or maybe some other assistance) no brain

 

[sir fly]

With retirement on horizon he's all in for the last spin.
Maybe he'll regret after today's stage for not saving something for more than couple of years in his sight. Or he's spent all the pages in his current passport, and doesn't want to build a profile from the beginning?

Beech mtn, plausible theory.
Ac has been notified and is gonna do a menchov.

Tactics don't excuse a nearly 30 second gap.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Tactics? These Sky guys are all about "marginal gains" and forget about tactics?

Saxo and ac seem fully updated following the shift of personel from sky to saxo.

Arms race out of control, Cookson clueless.
good times ahead.

Do you have something official, or plausibly reliable, whatever?

pretty much this. I'd say count in movi, too.

And Lampre may be getting in on the action as well

Clueless? I would argue it would be by choice.

2015 should be a good one.

No, that was just my attempt at reformulating beech mtns theory.

I see.
It makes sense, that's why I'm asking.

Will be interesting to see what others in business think about season prospects.
Tirreno could bring news. Olga has been mentioning March like some media date.

Apparently Valls beat Froome's time from last year. The dawg becomes more and more irrelevant. The secret formula has been leaked.
