Yeah I saw the hatchet job on Dumoulin's performance, comparing times to 1999, I knew they'd be coming as soon as he went past Quintana. I call bullshit on comparing 'doped' historical climbing times to modern performance, so much is different from the bikes to the training to wind conditions, the parcours, where it comes during a stage and race.
You can't prove a negative, performance isn't proof and speculating is cyclical and endless. It beggars belief that some people seem to devote so much time to pointless internet debate.
Anyway bollocks to all of that, Dumoulin was superb yesterday and the first chance Quintana had to chip away at TD's lead saw him ship more time. Very impressive

Plus ca change-some people love the polemic more than the cycling itself. I used to get annoyed about Armstrong because it was so blatant (and he was a documented shit stain) but have now gotten so fed up with it that the other hoo-ha /ranting over more vital things like motorbikes on the course also turns me off to the point I'm like "Can't people just watch the fucking race and let the commissaires deal with the rest?" I don't see any reason to trash Dumoulin's performance yesterday and tbh I don't want to ... Does this make me an ostrich?
