At the rate he's progressing, for a 2nd year pro 22 years old, that might not take us further than Giro 2016.
Huh?
2012 - 1990 = 22, if mathematics serve. |

Whoops, my bad. Indeed I am. Sorry for the confusion, for whatever reason I thought I was in the middle of a Sagan discussion and made fun of the fact that he looks like he could progress almost infinitely to the point of winning the next 11 GT to come.  |

Well I thought we were talking about Froome.. not sure now Also because the statement "has potential to be the new Eddy Merckx" is much less ridiculous if said about Sagan than about Froome.

So, let's come back to Sky.
Any idea if one of their two G.C. leader will be going to the Vuelta this season ? |

People are talking about, Froome, but apart from Henao and Urán, nothing is confirmed yet. |

Well I am kinda sure Swift is going. Lofkvist too. Zandio as well.
And Henao ? I am not 100% sure on him. In his first season in Europe doing 2 GT's might be too much. We'll know soon though.
Uran should go. After success at Tour, Froome might be bit tired for Vuelta, but I think he will go as well.
This is supposed to be doping thread, right ?

Yeah, but the Portuguese commentators in Eurosport keep saying that Froome, Henao and Urán are gonna be in the Vuelta. Altough they don't talk about the possibility of Sky doping. |

Oh no. You know what that means. We're going to have another mountain train GT. Contador better come through. I hate him, but at least he will lighten up the race.

I kinda thought they wouldn't, it's bad to talk about doping on TV ( even more when there's no scientific evidence for it ) and damaging cycling reputation even more....
What I meant though, is that Sky's Vuelta squad should be rather discussed in News in July or something like that. This thread is supposed to be doping only

Especially when one of them is a masters racer and former pro who was recently named in a doping ring.

Kissing disease is called mononucleosis, and that slows you down, which might explain the "snail disease" translation.
Still I thought it was something more exotic he had, unless he's gotten a mono too, as a mononucleosis normally cures in a couple of weeks once it's been diagnosed.
I am 100% certain Froome doesn't have mononucleosis. However, last spring and this spring as well he had active bilharzia parasites in his system which he had cured just in around april/may time.
I can confirm that Froome doesnt have kissing/mononucleosis disease. He tells in the article that Barloworld thought he had kissing/mononucleosis disease, and they did threat him for that. However that didnt work and thats why his results at Barloworld was so bad. However when he joined Team SKy, their medical staff did find out that his disease was snail's disease and not kissing/mononucleosis disease.
Summary; Barloworld thought he had kissing/mononucleosis disease, and they did threat him for it, and it didnt work at all. His condition only got worse.
However Sky did find the correct diagnose and is now threating him correct although it makes him ill and unable to ride on his bike for 3 months or more . |

Froome have been sick with Schistosomiasis(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schistos...tosomiasis) for the last few year. Most likely he picked it up while visiting his father in Kenya. So yes, it is exotic, Aquarius.

I don't see how that's connected, but still all they'd found would be revolutionary training plans
