Deleting his results after the positive test made no sense to me given the inability for the UCI to decide if he should or should not race. I could understand things before the test.
Anyways, I wonder how many watts Aru's mouth costs him?

If he pulls in enough air to overcome the drag penalty, able to pressurize it and then fart, he might actually gain a few watts at the end. But the farts need to be powerful and sustained.
"Marginal gains are the only gains when all that's left to gain is in the margins."
Why are you guys arguing about whether or how Contador doped. Its common knowledge. "Those pasticisers could have come from anything".... seriously??? We don't need iron clad scientific proof that he doped. The guy did, so what's the big deal. Throughout his career he has been able to hang with or obliterate dozens of other notorious dopers. What else needs be said? Just enjoy the show and hope perhaps that he is clean now.
I posted the exact same thing about Armstrong years ago and many made the mistake of chastising my audacity. Those posters looked not so good after LA's appearance on Opra. When is Alberto going on Opra? And I think I will start referring to him as Valasco just to be extra difficult.
the Gib is in the house and he is talkin' smack. So there.
And one more while I am on here - Hesjedal's descending is atrocious - the guy has far too much weight on his ass and not enough on his outside pedal. The whole technique, where he is looking, etc. is messed up. Looks awful and slow in the twisties. MTB background hasn't helped one bit. He would have been far better off as a ski racer. Those guys know about line and carving it up.

I like Contador. He is a fun rider to watch. He never, ever gives up, just like in 2011 when he had no chance of winning and went on the attack on the last day. Or how he beat Rodriguez in the Vuelta by utilizing team tactics and intelligence. I will miss his riding when he retires.

At the back, we lamented the fact that we never get to hang out with the boys in blue, but we’ve come to accept that they just might not like us.
Chad Haga slightly more subtle than Henderson.

where exactly, do you have have a result of plasticizers value in Contador blood? please post the photo here.
It is newspapers or is it data from the actual test from that German laboratory, who, by the way, leacked the analysis data. I mean, I would say LA, called that laboratory, or the UCI, just to bust contador, as he must have payed quite some money to UCI and to the laboratories. And no, i have no probe of that, as we don't have probe of all the money he must have paid to cycling authorities, apart from what has been to known to us, there must be way much more...

hehehehehe, Hesjedal really looks *f##k* up on the bike. It looks kind of ugly indeed, but I do like it just because of that. The head is always inclined like almost 30 degrees. And he looks like *f##k* up hahaha, like the old climbers. His cadence is good I guess, but his gesture is like he has a cadence of 30, and so much saddle to bar drop makes him look wiht the back almost like in tt position, hahahaha really crunked. I love it.
Happy Trails !!!
You guys are just boring with contador. No probe he doped, just un-fair ban, it's so obvious. And if he didn't, well, it's not like LA, or schleck brothers or horner or cobo, who none tested positived and they were clearly on the juice. He is more like a Valverde, win or win or win. And still, with the rules on hand and test results, unfair ban. Doped or not doped, we don't know. But about the unfairness of the issue with those results, well, couldn't be clearer. LA could climb before he started ussing poison, LOL. Same with marco pantani winning tours and TT's.
Happy Trails !!!

Nate Ryder lost 5 minutes on stage 4 when there was a split on a climb and he was in poor position.

Very comedic...but try doing that on the BBC!
Please tell me there is footage of this.
