  • in what sense? Bottom line was an emphatic "I have no idea" if Froome is doping or not going on what she saw of the race and her opinion of the tactics etc. Unless just by discussing it and refusing to rule it out she's making an accusation?

  • You're one of the worst people to get into an argument with on this thread - and I do mean it in the most respectful way :) - but quotes like:

    After all the scandals, from Shane Sutton saying that Team Sky gamed the TUE system, to the stock of Kenalog, Jiffy bags, lost medical records, the DCMS report, UKAD's investigation, testosterone deliveries, Tramadol use, and a win-at-all-cost culture, Froome’s ride could only lead us to ask questions.
    The only people who really know (what happenned) are the same ones who got themselves into the salbutamol mess, and that affair lingers over Team Sky like a bad smell.

    while she knows perfectly well that if the salbutamol case was not made public (which it should not have been), Froome's attack would not have anything to do with 'bad smell', only goes to show she's taking the CN side of things, which is anti-Froome.

    And again, I'm fine with CN openly talking shit about Sky and Froome, after all it's just journalism, but to get the same thing from an ex-rider is surprising - in a bad way.

  • She did talk some silly stuff, making a great fuss of what Sean Kelly said (he uses unbelievable about as often as 'make the calculation') and then talking about how form cannot improve during a three week grand tour.

    Given how badly Yates cracked, he form over the first two and bit weeks must be looked at riding in the red, while Froome was riding within himself, so he will always look poor against someone burning themselves out. During those two weeks all the dark mutterings were about Yates being on the sauce because he was smashing everyone.

    For the hyperbole of Froome being down and out and how Contador recognised that and said Froome should retire, Froome limited his losses early on, then he won on the Zoncolan, then had a decent ITT. At the start of stage 19 he was fourth still.

  • Unless just by discussing it and refusing to rule it out she's making an accusation?
