      U should consider performance in the variables.. Unless, if we talk about hypothetical and all the riders have the same performance, then the rest depends on mechanics. But the reality is, not all riders have the same performance.

    The secret is having Leinders as team doctor. Even at Rabobank he worked the doping individually with team looking away. Would not be surprised. Micro transfusions and micro epo injections are hardly detectable, Froome is known to have used Salbutamol which according to Willy Voet(a soigneur of the Festina team) is a game changer drug even in the 90s. Anyway cycling is fucked and will stay fucked, even if 90 percent might want a clean sport it only takes one USPS or whatever team to screw it up and have other great riders decide they should dope too because they cant win anymore.

      Joe Whiteley0711 The problem is that Thomas and Froome rely on helpers, always looking behind if there's an attack and then Poels or Bernal closes the gap, they are the leaders, they should react, it's just almost boring to watch. If you compare that with Alberto Contador..

    Inhalers

    • @wiwh404
      @wiwh404 6 лет назад +2

      have you tried inhalers? this wouldn't make you any more able to move out of your chair. Get a good look in the mirror. In sports, it is useful for those who suffer from asthma induced by prolonged efforts, but there is no chance you know what these latter words mean.

    • @vinm300
      @vinm300 6 лет назад +4

      Guillame, I heard a Consultant on Radio 4 saying the strength of inhaler that Team Sky were taking would only be prescribed if the patient was in A&E with severe breathing disorder. He said anyone with that level of breathing difficulty shouldn't be engaged in any sport.

    • @vinm300
      @vinm300 6 лет назад +1

      Joe, it depends what strength yours is.
      You're not doping you're coping.
      The point the Consultant was making is that the super-strength steroid inhalers Team Sky take are the ones
      that would only be administered for severe-emergency breathing difficulties, the sort you see in A&E.

    • @willwhite1987
      @willwhite1987 6 лет назад +3

      Still, inhalers. I think people just want to hate. This is inhalers we are talking about, the use of which is permitted in races. The loss in performance/confidence/motivation induced by the uncalled for hate and booing all around the tour largely outweighs the performance gains from salbutamol, which are zero. Seriously, all these people who hate on salbutamol use should just try and use some, to see if this has any effect on their body when they (start?) doing sport. It will not. No effect, zero, none, if you don't have asthma. I have 0 asthma in normal condition, but I have exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (exerise-induced asthma). If I do not use salbutamol, after ~~ 6 hours of efforts, my breathing starts breaking down to the point where I can only use a fraction of my lung capacity. If sports were my profession, salbutamol would save my carreer. Maybe those who have exercise-induced asthma should not be allowed to become professional cyclists. This is a legitimate question. But as long as we allow them to compete (and thus use medicine), we should just accept that they use it. This is so crazy what people do in the tour out of boredom and stupidity over the use of salbutamol.
