Exhausted Bradley Wiggins now knows he can win the Tour - Page 3

Dr Ferrari is not just a doping guy. He is a legendary sports scientist who helped pioneer the Conconi Test that transformed endurance preperation. There are lots of reasons to want his services. I certainly would.

You're right that Wiggins' story is similar to Armstrong. I have a really good feeling about it. Though unlike Armstrong, it's very unlikely indeed, from the evidence of his blood values, that doping has anything to do with this. Study the charts on the link above.

ROTFL. This is the same guy who is posting over at cyclingnews' forums as "The Arbiter." We are all laughing our asses off at his stupidity. Here is a sample:

We should all be able to agree that Armstrong and other cyclists did not visit Dr Ferrari for the dope, since they could quite easily get hold of EPO without his help. Dr Ferrari coined the Conconi Test which revolutionised endurance sports, he is a legendary sports scientists. That's why people wanted to work with him. Lets be honest about this.

Also Armstrong is very loyal to his friends and is not going to dump on someone because of unsubstantiated allegations. He would say that is your problem, not his. Ferrari is the best.

Great minds think alike.

Sounds like BW only crime is that he performed above expectations. Before this I have not heard any rumors of drug use with BW. Therefore I believe in him right now, good luck to him.

I think it was Dr Conconi who developed the Conconi Test and it is still debated in journals today that what some scientists see in the graphs is not universally shared. One of Ferrai's contributions is the VAM (vertical ascent in meters) but this is not widely accepted as Gospel either. Certainly the numbers for Contador up Verbier are wildly inacurate.

I just **** myself laughing.

So with Wiggos "blood values" looking so squeaky clean then we can assume just from reading them that Lance is squeaky clean too. Shock, horror... look they look clean - that means there's be a 3218321.03221% reduction in the number of craptacular posts suspecting Lance of doping...

NOT!



I posted the image without readjusting the size first just to feck with the layout on screen.

Wiggins should fact check:

1) Andy Schleck is not going to Team Cack - they wanted to sign him without his brother because they said he'd 'develop better'. Bollocks - they just thought he'd worry more about Frank than Lance when dragging the latter's sorry old butt around the mountains of France. Anyway, no Frank no Andy.

2)Twitter war? Armstrong might be unable to keep his texting digits under control but I think Contador has twittered once to announce his website.

As for whether he doped or not - remember Rob Hayles and his plus 50% HCT? There are 2 possibilities: either the peloton are clean and so Wiggins gets to show his natural ability or the peloton are as dirty as ever and Wiggins simply wised up (or took his Team GB know how to the road).

As for his claim to be a potential Tour de France winner - he didn't win a single TT or launch a single significant time gaining attack in the mountains. Unless he can improve on that then he really can't be considered a serious GC contender. If anything, the top 10 this year reflected the baleful influence of the overlong TTT on a race with no significant Pyreneean stages to balance the time gains.
