Bertie Beef - double? Treble?
Reckons one or the other - got to be worth a punt if you're into that sort of thing
The Tour is upon us - all hail the Tour.
Pavé on the parcours? Couldn't possibly be an anti-Froome trap could it? Be best if it don't rain praps?
Lots of big boys there - this will be closer than moster.
Looking forward to it - you in @monkey bidness ?
Thought he went a bit too early today, but just watched it again -Cav for sprint sideshows.
Unless they pull their lead-out together he's going to see a lot of the rear of Greipel - did you see how far he came from behind and roared past Cav? Sagan was if anything more monsterish to take 2nd.Cav for sprint sideshows.
Greipel (LTS) and Degenkolb (TGA) both hit 78.48 km/h in their race to the Rancourt checkpoint
From what I can see some randomers have got hold of power data, and because he's generating so much power up hills they've decided he can't possibly manage to do that clean. I'm not sure if it's as much power as Armstrong et al generated though.Have I missed something regarding Chris Froome? Is there any actual evidence that he is doing anything at all that he shouldn't be? Or is this because he is winning and the other teams are trying to mess with his mind?
Don't see how they can hold any meaningful power data unless Froome has published his weight and bmi.From what I can see some randomers have got hold of power data, and because he's generating so much power up hills they've decided he can't possibly manage to do that clean.

It's more the manner of the winning - especially on Stage 10 - that has caused the raising of eyebrows.Have I missed something regarding Chris Froome?

- when asked about Froome's weight, Brailsford claimed he didn't know.Don't see how they can hold any meaningful power data unless Froome has published his weight and bmi.
Was reading a lot of the 'comments' on the Tour last night - an edifying use of my time it probably was not, but there you are - and one of the more interesting spin-offs was this article -Don't see how they can hold any meaningful power data unless Froome has published his weight and bmi.
I’ve almost certainly not done this issue justice, but the above thoughts lead me to conclude that the question of data transparency in cycling and what its potential uses are does not have any easy answers.
