Had Vinnegar not had his crash, he would have pushed Pog all the way imho. But I had my suspicions about him when he dominated Pog and everyone else…

For the avoidance of doubt, I think top flight Pro Cycling has reverted to type.

It’s one thing to say that clean cyclists can match historical PED-fuelled bests through mechanical gains…but to smash EPO fuelled benchmarks out of the park…

Does this mean Ineos are actually clean. Explains how sh*t they are

They’re behind the drag curve probably. UAE have the money, and maybe they train in locations/countries where they are somewhat shielded.

For example, during most of Bolt’s career, the Jamaican ADA didn’t even exist iirc. They certainly didn’t test.

What is your lots problem!?

You’re looking for reasons why it’s not possible, versus why it is :woman_shrugging:t2:

Whatever Pog is chewing after each stage, along with the beetroot juice, seems to be working :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Was very much reminded of Lance riding up Alpe de Huez yesterday. The dominance , the physique, the pedal stroke, the climbing a mountain in yellow.

In terms of ā€œis this enhanced?ā€ question, I’m in the innocent-until-proven-guilty camp. So far so good.

Separately, dosing up with carbon monoxide seems like a pretty bad idea. What could go wrong.
