Then how do you explain that the performance levels have gone back to Armstrong's days?
Armstrong was 8ish years ago, surely technology, training methods, recoovery, nutrition have all improved since then. Look at Sky warming up and down, most teams are now doing this. Competition drives improvements in everything.
This is not F1 where technology matters sunshine. This is cycling, theres not much to improve especially with climbing. Matching doped to the eyeballs Lance's time and the way Froomebot accelerate simply is not possible without doping. That's my view on it. |

So you admit that in your mind national bias plays a big part then

we dont have the 'doping culture' in GB
Ah yes, anglophones don't dope.
David Allen, Chris Armstrong, Alain Baxter, Jamie Bloem, Lee Bowyer, Asim Butt, Danny Cadamarteri, Dwain Chambers, Linford Christie, Chris Cornes, Tim Don, Rio Ferdinand, Heather Frederiksen, Russell Garcia, Ed Giddins, Ryan Hudson, Jamie Hughes, Willie Johnston, Mark Lewis-Francis, Mark Marshall, David Millar, Jonathan Moore, Carl Myerscough, Shaun Newton, Terry Newton, Christine Ohuruogu, Callum Priestley, John Simpson, Tom Simpson, Duncan Spencer, Adam Tanner, Mark Tout, Graham Wagg, Dougie Walker, Janine Whitlock.....yeah no doping culture at all

maybe David Millar is a bad example but he was on the continent at the time, not in a GB team, with GB coaching and GB ways of training and clean priniples from the principle to the soigneurs.. shame that cant be said about the majority of the teams in the protour!
Go ahead, say 'Wogs begin at Calais'. You know you want to.

Stop whining because the obvious doper happens to sorta be british this time. Chauvinist.

Far from true. He was 2 seconds off Armstrong's record from 2002.

Ignore the start of the climb where they went sloooooow and consider only the part where Sky and Froome were actually setting pace: Half a minute faster than Pantani over 6.15kms

Dude... do you even ride bro?
Most ridiculous thing i've read on here in quite a long time... I'm no Froome fan, but seriously if you're trying to tell me kit makes no difference, watch me go up the same hill twice, once on my Carbon Boardman, and then again on Dad's Aluminium/Carbon Scott.
Equipment makes a massive difference and the point Bibb makes is a genuine one, Armstrong wouldn't have had access to the equipment Sky are riding on, hell look at their TT kit etc, 80% of the current peloton doesn't even have that stuff! It doesn't account for why Froome can drop everyone like he did today, but it says things as to why he, with a massive tailwind all the way up the Ventoux:
Can ride home inside the time of Lance Dopestrong. I'm not saying Froome is clean, I'd love to think he was but no, I don't actually believe it. But to try and say equipment has no effect... try going out on a bike.

ahahaha so youre saying the rest of the PRO TOUR peloton got shit equipment compared to Skyborgs? You are some idiot seriously....
Every team in Pro tour got the finest equipment. We are not talking about yours and your dads coz it's bloody irrelevant. |

Please no offending comments from now on. Have a normal discussion, if you can't, then leave.
P.S. That goes for everybody here that's using offensive language to someone else.

Brailsford just stated again at a press conference that we wont give up Froome's data.
He says it is a unique, private and secret profile for a person, which only should be examined by relevant expert-people (Lab rats, Anti-Doping, WADA the ones controlling blood passport etc).
Furthermore he says looking at Froome' data alone, would be the same as looking only at an ITT instead of a whole Tour. In other words he says it only provides the small picture, in a big context.
He do not feel we are competent enough nor will he acknowlegde the transparency these numbers COULD provide. He will rather keep the data as a secret.
Even LeMond has been suspicious and eager to get Froome's data, and argues everyone should do it so we can have a more transparent and clean sport. LeMond will not get his enquiry forfilled, yet... |

Go read Fred Grappe's study of bikes. He had several of his riders compare performance with a 1980 pro bike and a modern bike. '5w at most' was his conclusion. The real difference is in comfort.
As for Armstrong, his excuse for domination was exactly the same: that he had more advanced methods, better equipment, bla bla. Just like Sky, he also completely failed to name even one thing he did better with training.

That was just another example of Henderson's constant sarcasm on twitter. For example:
There was actually a very strong HEADwind, as you can tell by the flags on the course, and by ten Dam's interview where he said so.
Or heck, look at the flag here

What's so unique about it? Dope stats. I've seen many many riders posting their data on twitter. It's not a big deal, unless you got something to hide. |

Where do you stop you lot, Sagan so far ahead in the Green Jersey two tours running, Martin so far ahead over most in time trials, Cancellara and Boonen unbeatable in the classics thats matter.
Natural ability plus absolute dedication or just cheating?
For me and my sanity and wanting to enjoy what im watching I believe given current testing that its ability and dedication.
To say that improvements in technology and everytrhing else doesnt matter is just plain stupid, even the mental affect of thinking you are the best prepared in all this area and therefore think you have an advantage over your rivals can be massive especially at this level. Obviously not a sportsman. Stick to your video games child.

This is the last time I even bother responding to you... Read my post, read how I Clearly state that I don't think he's clean... And Actually, he was 2" slower up the full climb, and when considering the shorter section, as I understand it, Quintana was also inside the record time, or if not, then certainly extremely close...

To all those saying "Technology and methods improved"
Well yes it improved to some degree but will they succeed just 8 years after all those doper times?
I mean do you know how the peoples in the 1950 imagined how life would look like in 2000?
Well I haven't seen covercrafting cars on the streets yet and all those crazy stuff..
EDIT: I wonder where all those idiots come from I thought the Cyclingnews forums are up again.. Or the british secret agency saw this site and decided to restore their reputation of their empire being idiots.
And I wonder whose fanboys are fanboying harder the norwegians back when EBH hasn't decided to do nothing or the Froomebot empire.
