Zook Posted July 15, 2013 Share Seems there are a few different numbers for distance/ascent etc. But I'll go with this as my default position: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-2363539/Tour-France-enjoyed-Lance-Armstrongs-cheating--Martin-Samuel.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco-fiets Posted July 15, 2013 Share sooooo - ventoux ascent records 2013:21,5 km@7,5%---59:00---average speed 21.86 km/h(Chris Froome)2002:21,5 km@7,5%---59:00---average speed 21.86 km/h(Lance Armstrong)2000:21,5 km@7,5%---59:05---average speed 21.83 km/h(Pantani-Armstrong) I think for the rest of the tour I'll just download and watch armstrong's races. At least he had personality I think Froome is a cool guy. Can'treally compare him to Lance because he does not have much charisma. I find him to be irritatingly modest sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn you Lance for creating this doubt: "This is what cheating does; it spoils it for everyone. For the good, the great, for you, for me. In place of awe, a raised eyebrow; acclaim tempered by knowing nudges and defiant inquisitions." igknot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! **** you Lance for introducing drugs into cycling already in the early 1900's SwissVan and Wez-O 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyncSA Posted July 15, 2013 Share Yes! **** you Lance for introducing drugs into cycling already in the early 1900's Not denying there was doping earlier or now - but I believed him, his training, overcoming cancer etc, etc. Since then it's hard FOR ME, because of that specific cyclist, to believe.

SwissVan Posted July 15, 2013 Share Yes! **** you Lance for introducing drugs into cycling already in the early 1900's The world loves a scape goat, I wonder how long it is before Tyson Gay And Powell say that LAnce made them do it... WRT to Froome - Very interesting to see his high cadence, without knowing the actual cadence figures I would say his appears to be higher than anyone else ive seen including LA, he rides those rotor things doesn't he...wonder what gearing he has and crank lengths...?

His cadence really stood out. While Porte was still in front of him, they mentioned he was still in a lower gear compared to the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For yesterday I think I read him using a compact 38 small crank with 11-28 cassette. SwissVan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissVan Posted July 15, 2013 Share What did Oom Lance mean by this? Lance Armstrong @lancearmstrong 16h Hey @chrisfroome - no gifts on the Ventoux. Was he offering advice (showing regret) for his gifting the win to Pantani all those years ago or was he suggesting that Froome would not do himself any favors by winning in style (doping allegations from the skeptics)?

Tumbleweed Posted July 15, 2013 Share Who's following this account on Twitter? Hilarious stuff. Oleg Tinkov @olegtinkov11hTo be EXACT! I OWNED the team for 3 years and sponsor now for 1year, NO,means ZERO doping cases when I own or sponsor the team! This is fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombeej Posted July 15, 2013 Share His cadence really stood out. While Porte was still in front of him, they mentioned he was still in a lower gear compared to the others. I watched yesterday's stage from my IDT in front of the telly. I thought my cadence was relatively spritely, but on the climb I tried to match the cadence of the Sky team when 2 riders were still with Froome. Their cadence was too quick for me - it was a little uncomfortable trying to keep up. Froome was way too fast for me.
