@San Tonio Nothing mainstream about this media Champ! Cant see Sky backing Wiggans now, last years TDF was almost designed for him, he has shown he cant compete on these types of parcours, so that rules out the Vuelta as well, if he had won the Giro then… »

@The Grande Fondue That’s some serious shit right there! »
The good news is like anything you can get better, but you have to practise it, it’s all well and good burying yourself on the climb, but you need to ride hard over the summit, Sur La Plaque, zip up your jersey, get in your drops and Focus and Concentrate… »
I found this useful http://cyclingtips.com.au/2010/04/descending-tips/ I have tried leaning the bike and sitting more upright, odd but effective. »

@scmtns Meat got us off the savannah and where we are today, whether that’s a good thing or not is moot. Mmmm meat, Mmmm fat. »

@frank. Very interesting point though, because I thought the same thing about the Columbians. I wonder if their status in the late eighties had to do with innovating EPO use? They can’t stay on their bikes to save their life, either. It always seems to m… »
@Bianchi Denti I’m more worried about the size of Evans jaw these days, who woulda thought it could get any bigger? Seems to be a performance correlation! What happened to the Canuck? Very disappointing. »

@Mirko It’s the romance and style, almost against the odds, that I love in these bloody things! I just cant feel like that about a part of the world where money rules…dirty money. I’m all for them going there, getting their piece, they are Pro’s af… »

@Spun Up one more thing, The Prophet said no food on rides under 4 hours, but for us mere mortals, i.e myself, no food on rides under 2 hours and only water in the bidon unless you are racing. »
@Spun Up It’s not so much how you are eating more to do with what you’re eating, without knowing I’m guessing, but stop the carbs! The worst offenders are highly processed foods, white bread, bread, pasta, white rice, rice, potatoes, chips, corn chips, bi… »

@roger Awesome thanks! 50 seconds for a tire and tube, there’s something to aim for. »

@frank Yeah he looked juiced to the eyeballs at last years TDF, great stage yesterday, shapes up really well for the ITT, Nibali and Hesjedal have more than 1.20 in the bank on Wiggans even Evans has 1.16, I’m sure that’s not quite where Sky wanted to … »

@ChrisO I can only look at these guy’s as entertainment not as achievement, and I love to watch but. They would not have done what they did without the drugs. They lied, they robbed, they cheated and stole, from all of us, they way the looked whilst d… »
@TBONE Oh, in that case, what an inspiration to us all, the way he rode was amazing… »
Dirty little drugs cheat. Would we know of him without the cheating and the OD? Why do his records still stand? His ride up Alp d Huez, he may as well been riding a motorbike! »
