Paulst12 Posted January 23, 2018 Share I wonder if CF riding crazy distances around the cradle area this past month is an attempt to recreate an environment similar to the Velta ... high heat and dehydrated?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted January 23, 2018 Share I wonder if CF riding crazy distances around the cradle area this past month is an attempt to recreate an environment similar to the Velta ... high heat and dehydrated??Very likely they are doing some of this. Edit: I think, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s14phoenix Posted January 23, 2018 Share Find this interesting: “That is why Sky is better [with him] off the road. But I can’t force them.” he added. Seems the French will use every opportunity to get a champion... "I can't win if Froome is there" - comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted January 23, 2018 Share The Boonster weighs in https://cpofficial.com/chris-froomes-salbutamol-controversy-actually-something-stupid-says-tom-boonen/ “There have been suspicions for a long time” the World Champion said, reported Sporza, “now they have found the stick to hit him,” he continued.For Boonen, a key component of the outcry has been Team Sky’s success, a feat that has seen the British team winning five Tours de France and a Vuelta a España title in just seven years. Boonen claims that “Sky arouses that envy,” suggesting that this Salbutamol case was something that “everyone was waiting for”.“I think it’s actually something stupid.” He told the audience, “It didn’t make Froome wins or lose the Tour de France or Vuelta.”Boonen, who has had his own run in with doping control, was found to have taken cocaine in 2008. Fortunately for him he wasn’t given a ban from cycling but was prevented from taking part in the Tour de France that year.That’s something which UCI president, David Lappartient, hopes will happen with Froome should his Salbutamol case not be decided before the summer. The Frenchman believes that if Froome were to race the Tour and be found guilty, it would “heavily dent” the image of cycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted January 23, 2018 Share I wonder if CF riding crazy distances around the cradle area this past month is an attempt to recreate an environment similar to the Velta ... high heat and dehydrated??That's what I read online somewhere, but then the "kidney failure" option Sky chose to pursue means they can't go down the Pharmacokinetic test route. It's a win-or-bust option. Medical-related stuff is not my strong point, so I best stop saying anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted January 23, 2018 Share I Wonder if the Laureus dudes know's about CF's current situation ? ? or Lewis social media situation, or Ronaldo's tax situation.... shame those poor judges will struggle to pick somebody without stepping some persons toes.

Mudsimus Posted January 23, 2018 Share Very likely they are doing some of this. Edit: I think, in my opinion.This was floating around on Twitter. It’s speculated that the reason why he is doing grand tour stage distances every day is to recreate Vuelta conditions. And then try and find the needle in the haystack.

Patchelicious Posted January 23, 2018 Share My thought exactly.Supports what V12 was saying about the effect of the puffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted January 23, 2018 Share Don't know why they are doing all this testing and thirst inducing simulations. Froome should simply claim that some salbutamol got into his bicarb capsules..... Gets off, gets forgiven and can win again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottCM Posted January 23, 2018 Share Poels on Froome: It is best for everyone to get clarity quickly http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/poels-on-froome-it-is-best-for-everyone-to-get-clarity-quickly/ "I think that it is best for everyone to get clarity quickly so that we all know what will happen," Poels told NUsport. "Not only for us as teammates, but also for Chris himself. The other riders from the peloton also want to know where they stand, I understand that."

Team mates getting a touch edgy I reckon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man with no name Posted January 29, 2018 Share Apologies if this was covered above, but what are the timeline and testing he needs to comply with for this to be concluded? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
