thanks to Conconi. Right. Again it's always the same path...
And BEFORE 1990 he showed much more, and in multiple years, than CF ever did before 2011.
He gradually improved in the years before 1990, not a switch on in a month.
Even tough the diffusion of EPO (1990, what a coincidence... the before and after year for the EPO era) and the master in EPO (at that time Conconi) gave the last kick in (90->91).
Next example?

Let’s take a break from all the speculation about what may or may not happen to the most overhyped asthma med case in history to congratulate Hanseeno on completing his 20th GT in a row. Talk about superhuman efforts, I can see this record standing for a very long time.

This a thousand times. Lets put aside for a moment the debate as to whether or not Froome is doping. Froome gets my respect and sometimes awe in his ability to race a bike, take chances, and most of all work what appears to be pretty damn hard at improving his weaknesses. He went from being one of the worst bike handling, timid descender's in the peloton, to being one of the top 4? He works hard at improving, and it takes a lot of guts to do that. He attacks when not required.......just to attack and prove he is strong. He attacks to take stage wins when he is way ahead on time. He RUNS towards the finish line when he is without a bike. You know damn well that he knows he is the subject of massive amounts of ridicule, but doesn't care. He races his bike. We should all enjoy THAT aspect of him in which doping plays no part.TonyM wrote: ↑Sat May 26, 2018 11:06 pmI am definitely not a fan of Froome but he definitely improves a lot on descending. I like that he tries to improve wherever he has some deficiencies.Kjetil wrote:What has Lappartient to do with doping cases?
He should have nothing to do with them...
A pity I didn’t get to see yesterday’s stage. Stuff of legend.
What drug makes you a better descender? Not Salbutamol, that’s for sure.
Never cheer before you know who is winning
Chaves and Yates finish the Giro exhausted and well off the pace but at least they have the satisfaction of knowing they rode with dignity. This piece from Cycling Tips pretty much sums it up

I'd been racing since '78 and this sport is a way of life for me. As the author alludes to in his article, my patience is sorely tested that this f*cker is crapping on us all.
