Bonus Posted July 9, 2021 Share The Peloton has dropped the hammer. It's going to be hard work for those riders to catch up once they climb out of the hole they rode into . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mntboy Posted July 9, 2021 Share 16 minutes ago, DieselnDust said: since this chat is slowing down along with the peloton. Lets post more interesting discussion than the commentators are offering. I mean slush puppies...really !! Here's an article Ross Tucker published in 2013. It postulates more or less when we can expect to see undoped performance match or surpass doped performances. It appears we are now within that time frame https://sportsscientists.com/2013/07/clean-performances-to-surpass-doped-performances/ That was a very interesting read. Personally I fall more towards that physiology has caught up thanks to everything we've learnt over the past decade or so wrt food and diet and rest and recovery along with all the technological advances. Things that John Wakefield has mentioned as well as a few others. Still an interesting read given the discussion that's been had over the last few pages of this thread.

Mountain Bru Posted July 9, 2021 Share Can someone explain why the 2 guys up front aren't working together with 56km to go and are constantly attacking each other? What are they hoping for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that Latour will get it simply because he happens to be Frenchie on a French team. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted July 9, 2021 Share DQS surely going have their hands full soon with more attacks incoming. No use just cruising along in the peloton to finish 2nd behind Cav. Mntboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
