"It could be a unique profile, classical doping - using haematological drugs, like EPO - or mechanical doping which is using a motor in your bike"
can't help but think there may be better terms to use than 'mechanical doping'

Tejay ;_; Also I'm annoyed about Bertie, it's much less of a race now. Maybe there'll be a français in the top 10 now, hehe.
Those lacets look awesome.

Poor old Kwiatkowski too, that was some earbashing.

I've been out cycling all day long. Did I miss anything? I've recorded the highlights - can I liberally use the fast forward button or have I got to pay attention?

I watched the whole thing live and didn't regret it, so I reckon it's worth watching the highlights.
― Madchen, Thursday, 23 July 2015 22:12 (eight years ago) link
So from my last couple of posts you can deduce that I'm the saddo who watches both.
― Madchen, Thursday, 23 July 2015 22:13 (eight years ago) link
I did that yesterday. I'd be happy to do it every day if real life didn't intervene so much.

so 4real i have not really been following at all this year (not even blogs or nothing) and am wondering if it would be worth going back and trying to dig up highlights/stages and such?

24 July will be a good day to watch, there's been a lot of climbing this week which isn't typical. But unless Froome wrecks he will win again.

I am behind, just watching stage17 now
Tejay pulling out was so sad, when his team are hugging him & he's crying, poor guy

Sky are looking a bit worn out. This is shaping up nicely.

This is so exciting!

Gesink providing his Tour power profiles on Strava is so fun. Only pro in my feed.
