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...
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.
I agree. Nibali did also post his stats from TDF last year, during the race. Very interesting to see. Brailsford just keep repeating the same bs.
Its obvious that they got something to hide. Since last year 
Since we cant get the official results from them, I like when the math guys are providing with all the delicious watt/kg numbers etc.
It is very eye catching that the rest of the GC contenders are almost similar in strenght, power and performance.
To the guy stating that if Froome was doped, he wouldnt have lost the Vuelta last year. Mate, Froome had a long season and did ride the TDF. Doping is not a miracle substance, like Aquarius says : Its gives you 4-13 % increase in perfomance. Its nok like you become 200 % better. Even dope has its limits. |

iirc, that was for the timetrial. With the new spec one being the same Wiggins threw away during the Giro for an old one

That was just another example of Henderson's constant sarcasm on twitter. For example:
Does Henderson claim that Froome rode +500 wats in 20 minutes ?
I know its sarcasm, but what was the calculation for Froomes last 16km, 450 watt?
Insane either way |

He tweeted that after the AX-3 stage, I chose it as an example of Henderson always being sarcastic

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.
It seems you are covering the lack of knowledge by offensive language.
How you can compare Sagan being so ahead in points competition with what is Froome doing, did you actually see some stage this or last year? Sagan is winning it thanks to incredible consistency,as he finishes every second stage on podium and he combines the decent climbing with speed.
While other sprinters as Greipel,Cav and Kittel are faster, but sometimes have problems to hold in the front group as they cant climb and also lack Peters superior positioning and technical abilities (they are still great in it, Cav for example, but not every stage).
It is not like Sagan is winning every stage he wants by minute, like someone else we are discussing here. Also i think it is very different effort.
Of course Sagan can be doping too, nobody knows, but saying that Froome is clean because look at how Sagan is far ahead in points is funny BS.

I think you need to re read my post. Offensive language?? I did not directly compare Froome and Sagan. Stop boring people with simple things about how Sagan is able to win the green jesrey, its easy to see how he does it but what im saying is he is so far ahead in his field. No other rider on the tour can do what he does, does that not make hime stand out?? If greipal Cav etc started riding in break aways they would not win the stages that they do. They arent there when its hilly. Sagan wins flat hilly and could also win from breaks, dont see many other riders doing that in the tour. He is not doping just extremely talented, just making a point that some people get tunnel vision on teams and riders they dont like. |

Idiots are in large supply everywhere. We have those comments sections over here too. They're not any better.
The worst part is we also have a TV commentator like that (Paulo Martins) who does things like, for example, after Armstrong's confession he penned an article criticizing the fans for saying bad things about 'This great champion'.
EDIT: Fun story. A few years ago he must've googled himself, and being too stupid to know any english, only found the criticism of him in PCM-Portugal.
He proceeded to demand the admins removed the bad opinions of him that members had posted or he would sue. Marco can tell you more about that. I believe the answer he got was a polite version of 'Fuck Off'

Oh god even Riccò's being sarcastic about Froome now
EDIT: And Michael 'Chicken' Rasmussen too
When one has had his time in the peloton for many, many years and has been on the wrong side of right and wrong, then you can get a pretty clear sense of when something is fast, and when something is too fast.
What we saw yesterday was too fast
EDIT2: Kimmage
Froome on Ventoux? Call me Dumbo: "I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band, I saw a needle that winked its eye. But I think I will have.....seen everything when I see an elephant fly."
Thomas Frei's response:
@PaulKimmage @DavidWalshST you guys heard already from Gas6 (Growth arrest-specific 6) ?

As the weight is controlled and all pro bikes are at 6,8 kg, the rest doesn't really matter for climbing. Difference in output due to the bike must be close to zero between bikes that have one year difference (since it's about 5 when compared to a 30 years old bike), and aerodynamics don't matter much when climbing.

Unless it's just a random figure by Henderson, I'd say it's Froome's W/kg multiplied by Greipel's weight. |

see what youre saying is ludicrous, we dont have the 'doping culture' in GB 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!
stop whining cause a Brit is looking like they will win the tour for 2 years running...sour grapes!
In Britain we have one of the worst records for riders doping, bearing in mind the relative paucity of pros we have. David Millar, Robert Millar, Tom Simpson, Andrew Jackson, Choppy Warburton (British coach who was one of the instigators of doping in cycling), Arthur Linton, Tom Linton, Jimmy Michael, Malcolm Elliot, Ken Hill (that was a British-based rider tested positive in a British race), Sean Yates, Neil Campbell (British-based track rider), Jamie Alberts etc. Not to mention fucking amateurs like Dan Staite and Damien Sharp. And that's just looking at cycling, let alone all the other sports where doping is pervasive. We in Britain are no holier than those in Spain, Italy, Americ, wherever. The same problems exist worldwide. Please, just stop it, I sometimes wish to defend Britain with a leg to stand on.

Don't worry isso, now we actually have fun club for Martins. Now when Ricco even says, you just know something is wrong.
EDIT: I reccomend you to watch this isso: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=...q2nFZJ93Fs
