Doing EPO again is almost as stupid as the name for his bike brand .

No - Di Luca was positive for epo, the secret pro was referring to the biological passportPhilipthelam wrote:Do you think Di Luca was the cyclist which the Secret Pro was referring to? (in cycling tips)

Sorry but lugged, steel road frames look wrong with a sloping top tube.

And it's a phycksee so there's something ironic about a lugged compact frame...

I just read the writeup and the times for Stage 19 (don't follow pro cycling much, clearly) and Nibali = on the juice. No way he's going to manage a MINUTE faster than the competition at this stage of the Tour without a little help from his friends. You have to have peaks and troughs in performance... unless Nibali was sucking someone's wheel for half the stage, I call BS. The rest of the times for the day are much closer to each other... it doesn't look like a heroic ride, it looks like BS. Maybe Cadel is simply trying to hold onto second so he can be promoted after drug charges?jcjordan wrote:The 6.1-6.2 watts/kg is based on a one hour effort.

No, it likely is Menchov who has quietly retired.Philipthelam wrote:Do you think Di Luca was the cyclist which the Secret Pro was referring to? (in cycling tips)

Apparently the oldest podium finisher since 1928 !!!DavidS wrote:Oh well, Evans will now be third. Bloody good effort given he went to the Giro to get some race time. Hopefully he comes out of this healthy and with some form (hey, podium in the Giro, that's bloody good form).

An interesting read. The VAM figures comparing Nibali's 2013 ascent of Tre Cime against those of DiLuca and that idiot Ricardo Riccò in 2007 are particularly telling.MichaelB wrote:An interesting assessment of Nibali's performance at the Giro and whetther he was clean ...
