Jase619 Posted July 4, 2018 Share https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/44694122 Interesting to see them share HR and Power data... Damn interesting to read, and realise just how much effort Sky put in. We can hate on them all we want but I doubt other teams go into this much effort. . .

geomark Posted July 4, 2018 Share Bit more about Sky defence: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/more-details-of-chris-froomes-successful-salbutamol-defence/ and what is so annoying is that after everyone wading in on him he doesn't come out swinging. Perfect time to tell Hinault to go get ***** but comes out with this: Froome doesn't hold a grudge against Hinault. "He's one of the great champions. I imagine with age sometimes your wires get a little bit crossed, but if I see him I'll very happily explain it all in a bit more detail ... because he certainly got the wrong end of the stick," Froome said. to be fair it's about as attack-dog as froome has ever been. The wrong end of the stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted July 4, 2018 Share https://www.bbc.com/sport/cycling/44694122 I'm really not surprised because this is the way my nutritionist prescribes my meal plans for stage races. For one events you aim to be at min weight on the day and then back to normal eating habits the same day to recover and not get ill.Kudos to SKY and I can see the other teams scrambling to assess and implement . Froome will win TdF again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nochain Posted July 4, 2018 Share https://www.bbc.com/sport/cycling/44694122Great read but extremely sad that they have to do this!That is Sky and Froome IP that should never have to be shared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean Posted July 4, 2018 Share I think they way he has handled the entire affair has been a marked difference from Mr Armstrong... I mean, that's the first person who he was compared with when this was leaked, and to be honest, he hasn't gone on the attack, he hasn't dragged peoples name through the mud using his perceived power in the peloton... The fact that anyone could comment on it and not fear backlash really is a major difference in this affair.. Of course, it could be a tactical move and I'm sure it's been a measured response, but the environment seems completely different... Says a lot to me about the man...

Man with no name Posted July 5, 2018 Share What an angry little man. Not Froome or Team Sky's fault that the already shakey makeup of the anti doping movement is further shaking. What's weak is weak. It's jo better than the Spanish Inquisition and was hastily implemented. It's wrong to sacrifice innocent people for the appearance of doing the right thing. So who peed under this guys tree??!For a scientist he spends a lot of time on legal technicalities. I would much rather he talked about the the scientific basis of Froome’s rebuttal, specifically the impact Sky’s “functional dehydration” technique may have on Salbutamol concentration in urine etc. Telling us about this shitty business and hypocrisy of he UCI’s “let’s go watch cycling again” is the function of the press or social media commentators, ot a scientist Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus Posted July 5, 2018 Share Interesting to see which websites & publications are falling on which side of the "for/against the outcome" line, and how they are spinning their particular version of the events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s14phoenix Posted July 5, 2018 Share He's been cleared....so why's this thread still going? Because here on The Bike Hub we beat a dead horse until it is dead. And then someone revives it to beat it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he sees himself as more of a social commentator than a scientist? If he's still at UFS, it may be interesting to note that many SA universities track their academics' social media presence and equate that to an equivalent advertising revenue for the university, so more brownie points for you, with your university, the more you are 'seen' out there.....

SwissVan Posted July 5, 2018 Share Because here on The Bike Hub we beat a dead horse until it is dead. And then someone revives it to beat it again.You mean until it’s flat (beaten flat) and then someone blows it up again ( usualy out of proportion) Cos if it’s dead ???? it’s dead ???? Only my old accountancy teacher could beat you deader than dead ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
