Not normal - far more alien even than the miraculous leg healer would even dare attempt :D

Maybe Sky can give him a contract. At least Zardini is in the passport program already, unlike Tiernan-Locke when they signed him.

You would make a terrible team manager. JTL was great because they knew he was a responder with no passport. Plausible denial. :). Totally opposite the sky super-science, but that has never stopped them before!

Does anyone know who the anti-doping authority is at the race?

Same thing crossed my mind, although for some reason I've always presumed that team is doped, but I'm not entirely sure why.

My feeling is pretty much the whole team is on the juice.

The way he led and pushed in the break, let Roche exhaust himself who had been helped by his team all the way up to the Tumble and activate warp drive leaving him for dust he certainly gave his teams secret away to anyone watching with my eyes.

If he has a normal blood profile after that stage I'm an astronaut!

You would be surprised what a good painkiller in combination with a caffeine pill - with the equivalent of 50 cups of coffee- and a good sleeping pill - after 50 cups of coffee one doesnt sleep too well - like Stillnox will do for a person.

Rocket FUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL.....

There was a time in cycling caffeine was on the doping list, nowadays clean teams like Argos are even filming the usage of it in documentaries which are to show how clean they compete :confused:

If you can watch the stage and how destroyed Roche was kicking up the final climb after being in the peloton all stage and saw how Zardini who led the break hit the warp drive button leaving him for dust and look as chilled as a rasta smoking a blunt doing it :)

My Edgar detector has had years of calibration to perfect and he lit up every single light on it like a Xmas tree :D

Must be a power of ten expresso in the vein, allegedly..!

Zardini wasn't in the break, he attacked at the beginning of the last climb. Roche squirted ahead but overexerted and blew himself up early. Even Dan Lloyd and Magnus were commenting on his overgearing.

Look who came second. A great rider but hardly the best climber of his generation. Zardini is just tripping the radar because he has a good poker face, ugly glasses and no one knows who he is.
