does the UCI test for saurkraut? it's a very effective TWE, or tailwind enhancement substance.

It's not as if the guy is a total unknown. He has won TTs before....

Yeah I kinda had that idea in my head too, that is a huge advantage for a non-favorite. Cancellara had a bad day no doubt but Shum really destroyed them. I was thinking the winning time would be only a second or two faster than the number two guy. Do we ahve to start all this talk again? Ugh!

This is the bed that sports have made - and we all get to lie in it. What do I mean? Everything is in question now. Well, things a bit out of norm. This 41 year old Olympic swimmer is being questioned even though she is having all kinds of voluntary tests. Someone that was not listed as a favorite (based on the VS crew) winning the first TT by a strong margin will be questioned.
For those cycling fans that are somehow offended by such a question, you are wrong. if no one test positive in 15 years then you can be offended at such a question.

Congratulations to an excellent ride and if you can do 19 plus rolling miles in about 35 minites you congratulate him too. BTW add 3 over 100 miles a day to it before he rode it. Go Le Tour Good Show

A great ride for sure. :thumb:
It is sad that if you perform above expectations, you are thought of as a possible doper. That's where cycling is today. Tomorrow?????

Shumacher also won the TT on a 2006 Bike!
The new Specialized Transitions have the rear caliper mounted down low near the BB.
Beat everybody on old gear. Wow

That's a Walser, Gerolsteiner has been using those for 5 years.

Like equipment matters THAT much.

Thank god it was a TT, otherwise he really would have decimated the field. What's the sense in drafting if you can't breathe.

interesting to note that pre-race bruyneel tipped schumacher for this stage. i'll leave you all to draw your own conclusions (presumably along previously drawn battle lines) on that one.
