  @Mistermaumau true (name with capital letters). 'kette rechts' is german for 'chain to the right side' describing the big chain ring in the front and the smallest in the back. you typically find this slogan written on cycling socks or caps ...

  exactly. Pogi is always going to be beating or trying to beat Lipo

  I would agree with you, except Yates has rode in the Giro d'italia and knows what it's like. Jonas is a great rider, however he has never been amazing on really steep climbs. He makes his money on longer and more 8-10% climbs that he can build up to as he goes up. In the Giro he is going to have many that go from 5% to 10+ in seconds. Depending on how well he responds after days like that we will see how he is riding in Week 3. Many riders look set to win only to come to week 3 and just not have the ability to get going like they did in Week 1 and 2. Which one will he be? We will have to wait and see

  I hate to say that boring math means that someone will be at the tail end of the distribution. That is true even in a crazy biased sample like the peloton. That this argument was used in past years to excuse folks we knew were dopers is irrelevant - the math is the math. Also, just to be clear, everyone admits to doing highly specialized things these days - altitude training, diet, unbelievably controlled efforts to build muscle mass in a very particular way. Those are all legal. When looking at past training programs, they're borderline unprofessional in the modern peloton. Again, that some people respond better to this training than others is just expected statistics. The 5% argument you're using doesn't work to make the point you're trying to make.

  That is not how stuff works. Pharmaceutical companies don't develop billion-dollar drugs just to give it to one guy in an obscure non-revenue sport. And nefarious team directors don't choose one guy on their team to give the good sauce while everyone else is told to lump it.

  If doping created Lance, there would have been a lot more Lances. Nobody has super-secret syrup. Still, only Lance won 7 Tours.

  Mauro had some but he put everyone else off trying it by showing what it leads to.

  Congratulations on your multilingualism I’m supposing as I’ll never know what the text says

  @(k)etterechts, is your allergy due to a native language with excessive capital letter use then? am disappointed you use one in your name now ;-)

  @Ketterrechts, No problem, many things are not obvious or unsaid and as far as I know there are no rules let alone laws about how to be on websites (that don’t specifically state what is expected). I am no native anglo speaker either but had the chance to live in many places with others from even more places thus picking up quite a few languages and can confirm it brings mostly advantages and positive benefits and so to me it seems that trying to impose or limit any breadth of language use on the WORLD WIDE web is wrong. Everyone is free to choose what they read or don’t and even the most prolific of readers is going to miss 99% of all that’s out there (and often misunderstand (not necessarily of their own fault) a lot of the rest) it’s best to stay quite relaxed about it.
