tombeej Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Sigh.. apparently Luca Paolini has tested positive for cocain[emoji31] I have no idea how long coke would stay in your system. . Maybe he had a party just before.. but regardless of when it was used it returned a positive test during the TDF. Oh for fookssakes. That's the last we'll ever see of the bearded one. Going to miss that grin. What the flip was he thinking. Family man and all.

Family man and all.Ja nee.. and I like him man.. argh.. well at least it wasn't EPO.. . Ps I dont condone drug use at all. And clearly he wasn't thinking at all..
HappyMartin Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 It's not performance enhancing. It's like testing positive for tequila. I know it's rule and all but I don't agree with it. If it was a steroid I would agree totally. Chuck him out but not for cocaine. Anyway here is me. I don't even drink. What do I know.

They say in the yrs gone by the peloton would use cocaine to numb the pain and well make them feel on top of the world during the tour

TALUS Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Pot Belge Cycling's dirtiest drug.Took the words out of my mouth.
'Dale Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Good sprint though I enjoyed it.. lekker argy bargy[emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji122]Crazy technical sprint finalèHow Cav kisses his front tyre at peak effort - quite amazing
Bonus Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Apparently 1000W plus for top sprinters over the last 15 seconds.
T-Bob Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Feck me. There is much worse I the peloton right now. So the ranga went hard one night in a club letting people bask in his gingery beard. Honestly there are threads on thread retelling the hungover and partied out exploits of riders in the past... Like they are heroes. Just look at Anqutile's entire career!!! It played out like a intro to 'life at the playboy mantion'... On crack. In AFL you actually get 3 strikes in anonymity for party drugs before you get dumped, smacked and cast out. I don't agree but if you've ever spent a night partying like that then last thing you want or do is get up and ride a bike let alone a classic or slot your self for a jumped up superstar. Enhancing the day after you are not...
Patchelicious Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Apparently 1000W plus for top sprinters over the last 15 seconds.Yes, quite a bit more, some nice studies out there.At the end of a long stage, Greipel, Kittel are pushing 1400ish for last 15secs. This is where Cav has been an anomaly, his power is lower, but still generates speed. In an unfatigued state I think I saw Kittel tested at close on 1800W for 15secs.
HappyMartin Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Chris Hoy says Cav is not a real sprinter. He says he is an endurance athlete with a very fast finish. Figures I saw for Cavendish he peaks around 1400w but can hold 800 w for over 500m. Not sure if that's accurate. Hoy measured 2300w

Hoy measured 2300wYou might be onto something there.He cannot push the same power as the other sprinters with fresh legs, but if he arrives at the finish less fatigued than them, he should be able too.
