- There is always a defamer...poor people.
- Welten is 28 years old, Tadej 26 years old. The gap of 2 years is a lot among teen, obviously Welten was consistently more mature.
- Chapeau to Pauline Ferrand-Prevot on a very nice victory. She is a deceivingly powerful rider, and it was impressive how she slowly pulled away like she did, pushing quite a big gear. It was an entertaining race to watch, and a pleasant surprise in the end.
- Michael Jordan was cut from his high school baseketball team. but there are stories of Tadej racing and winning as a youth. this is a stupid article.
- I wouldn't be so sure of that.....our latest model runs have light patchy rain across du Nord into the early evening. Rain isn't overly heavy overnight but enough to possibly cause utter chaos
- Apart from a few outliers, in athletics, premature developers who held age group records didn’t get very far later and most athletes who became world stars never had early age records, I’d be surprised if in cycling it was any different.
- You can enjoy it by all means but will you also take responsibility for the consequences of encouraging it through that? Because we all pay the price of the way it affects people, moods, behaviour, illness, violence, crime, social degeneration, etc, no real good comes of it or what do you feel there is to gain from it other than experiencing a momentary emotional high some might not be able to achieve any other way?
- There's no reason we can't live in the real world while enjoying the doped up sport.
- Tadej definitely wasn't terribly out of the ordinary as a junior. Just goes to show what great coaching and a proper "supplement" regiment can turn someone into.
- Nice one. Not 100% officially a placebo but in my early days of group training in Mallorca I and another guy were reputed to ride without food (and once I paid the price for it having to be pushed back to base). On one particularly long outing things started getting difficult and the other guy mentioned he could really do with something to eat, one of the jokers offered him a home-wrapped snack, the latest nutritional supplement on the market and he started flying, showing and boasting all the way home how good he was feeling. At dinner, in front of 40 or so of his mates it was then revealed it had simply been a premeditated prank with a cheap doggy biscuit. Don’t know if anyone later ever considered experimenting with dogfood doping, was just happy not to have been selected as the victim.
