Any chance we can see his readings from 2006 ? They would be off the friggin scale.ilpirata said:As Basso re-enters competition at the Japan Cup this weekend, he has begun posting his blood and lab data, as well as kilometers pedalled on his web site.
There is a certain theatre developing now that I am beginning to find entertaining!
To some extent yes we can. Take his times for the steepest climbs for the Giro and work out an approximate power from that. Compare to his figures this years and bang, proof that he inhaled.whiteboytrash said:Any chance we can see his readings from 2006 ? They would be off the friggin scale.
what could have been at the 2006 Tour ? The Fuentes brothers of Ullrich and Basso would have destroyed the field.Eldrack said:To some extent yes we can.

This is obviously something that will have been noted by Basso so perhaps he'll fiddle his numbers?
Don't forget Vino too. I wonder what the shape of pro cycling would be today if Operacion Puerto had never happened? Ulle would still be riding, perhaps still vying for his second Tour win. Basso would probably be aiming for his third. Vino would be trying all kinds of crazy doping to get his first. Cavendish wouldn't have won a stage yet and the French would be considering quitting en masse.whiteboytrash said:what could have been at the 2006 Tour ?
