I'm a great fan of bicycling too, I enjoy to see the yearly competition between medicine companies. Love to sleep in the shade on the flat stages, and sitting on the edge of a chair on the mountain stages... This year Danish rider Fuglsang is second in the overall standings: makes things even more interesting...
Nope. I have no doubt and it is only ny opinion that the whole thing is full of cheats and the winner is normally whose team is the best at disguising it.
I do very much agree: they're all doped. Still I do find it so impressive to see men cycling uphill faster than I could go on the flat. Need to mention that I've been bicycling (not competitively) since I was a boy: I would go on a 50km trip without giving it too much consideration. Doping adds the extra 3-5% you need to compete at top-top level. I don't really care who wins: it's like watching people do extremely hard work, while sipping cold white wine in the shade...
Mikra the reason they can cycle up the hill so fast is because of the doping. No faith in the sport whatsoever.
Agree concerning the speed, but that they actually get up there is the fascinating thing for me. I'm not very condemning concidering doping: it's in all sports: ever wonder how footballers make miracle recoveries. Fx a sprained Achilles tendon in 4 months? (Happened to me, I was still on crutches after 4 months). I don't like the idea of cheating: it should be in the open: these drugs are ok, these aren't...
