Wiggins with 56 MO in PCM08 was even better

Fun fact. In the PCM 2011 expansion pack, released just before Froome finished 2nd in the Vuelta, only behind Juanjo Cobo, his mountain stat was 71.
and what did it change to in the post-Vuelta DB? |

In 2012 DB (for PCM 2011) before TdF he had 77 IIRC.

Indeed, people were laughing at him finishing top 3 on a Giro mountain stage a couple of months before he was 4th (3rd) at the Tour.

That's great to see much later
Wiggins and Froome came along to sweep Contador, Rodriguez and Valverde off the charts with their climbing  |

Thanks for that, it's a good listen. Nice to see someone voicing their concern and actually being sceptical about the whole Sky thing. Especially that bit about how he was refused [by Brailsford, who else?] an interview with Michael Barry in 2010 after he had been implicated by Floyd Landis with absolutely no justification, just after Brailsford had been talking about being completely transparent etc etc. Didn't know that had happened.

Yeah, I even remember in discussions we said it was a weak vuelta field because froome and wiggins were 2nd and 3rd in 2011

To be fair, on the 08 Database Wiggins was still basically a track racer. |

Thanks for that it was a great interview. Great to see him calling them out for marginal gains etc.

Mainly because most of them are below the age of 15, and if you asked, probably have no idea (other than Lance) who was in the doping era. Ask them if they know who Pantani is or Basso, hell even ask if they know Chris Boardman or Brailsford.

Even if they are older I think they just turned to cycling after Wiggins Tour win, someone stated Froome was already "legend" before his illness on the other hand Armstrong was a nobody before he had cancer.
Edit: I just read the comments it's to silly to discuss with them

I used to be one of those people. Since l found this forum though, its all doom and gloom. |

Well to be fair, I think all sports are as dirty as it can get so cycling might just be the cleanest sport, if one pro is clean |
