we want a story about MERCKX Eddy, he's #1 in procyclingstats best of all time list, I guess he deserves a video 😃.

@@trainit5340 Cavendish and Pogacar next then maybe Eddy! Make sure to subscribe to be the first to know when the video comes out

@@TrueSportsLore yep i'll be waiting

Legendary doping lovers 🙄

This is a really poorly researched and executed video by yourself. You have pedalled conspiracy theories from a couple people on twitter instead of researching the science behind any of the bullshit you claimed to be suspicious. For example endurance athletes take significantly longer to reach there prime than other sports and so the common age for an endurance athlete to enter their prime is mid to late 20s which is when froome started to improve. Further he grew up in Africa where billharzia is not uncommon, on top of that post exercise enduced asthma is extremely common in endurance athletes due to the strain on the lungs. Salbutomol is the normal asthma medication and does not give performance enhancing benefits to people without asthma as it only opens the airways to the normal level so is not used as a performance enhancing drug. The idea that froome faked the crash is really stupid, considering the time trial was occurring later in the day there obviously is going to be paramedics on the course considering that high speed crashes can inflict serious injuries, then given that it was a warmup run for the time trial why would you expect someone to have videod the crash when the stage hadn't even begun so that isn't suspicious. Whats more he crashed into a wall at 60 kph, he so it was a hard sudden impact that caused the damage hence the injuries are to be expected, since it was a collision with a wall you would not expect road rash since that would imply they slid on the road and would probably not receive the same severity of injuries, so no significant road rash is consistent with hitting a wall hard hence not suspicious for a fake crash. All you did in this video is state poorly constructed conspiracy theories which either means that you are intellectually limited and so have no ability to consider even basic logical floors in twitter conspiracy theories, or you don't care and have a personal opinion of dislike which you'd like to convey against the use of factual information, again this would also imply you were intellectually limited. Have some shame and don't be so sloppy with your videos in the future.

on drugs...

@Ambient Blue-eyedMonkey Yes of course, I forgot there's absolutely no evidence of that whatsoever, but failed to make the idle troll allegation.

@@gesp5151 lol, evidence is allover the internet and no one denies it including froome himself, you clown.

@@ambientblue-eyedmonkey8849 Everyone is on drugs If you think not, then you dont know anything about the sport.

@@XxxxTxTxxxX make up your mind, either he is on drugs or not on drugs, make up your mind clowns, lol.

Right alongside Floyd's at the TDF.

​@@isitrachelorj3953Pretty sad that you're spamming every comment with PED jokes, whether its true or not.

@@surreal7963 not "sad" at all. I will call out PED use every chance I get. To let an athlete, businessman, politician or parent get away with illegal, immoral or unethical behavior is in essence condoning that behavior. Cheats deserve our scorn! Stop being a fanboy!

@@isitrachelorj3953 I'm not being a "fanboy" when all I'm stating is that you're annoying.

@@surreal7963 my comment was directed at the original poster. Anybody who believes that stage was anything other than a "floyd" is a delusional fanboy. Anyone who is irritated or annoyed by my calling out a cheat is likely a fanboy also. Why does it bother you to hear or read the truth? If you are offended by criticism of Froome (or any other doper) you should refrain from reading such threads - there will always be critics like me, and rightfully so.

the Dogma is a truly awesome bike (one of my favorites), but you're bluntly overstating the advantage it provides. that being said, it's still the bike I'd choose over any other as a race bike.

@@seanmccuen6970yeh that was a weird comment. There’s no real advantage to one road bike over another in the peloton. They’re all on super bikes and the differences will be tiny and down time personal preference. In no way will a riders performance go down significantly moving from one brand to another. There is a little more of a difference in the TT bikes with the specific ancillary aero kit.

@@HkFinn83 calm down, I just like the bike because it's a solid all-rounder and I like the way it looks.

@@seanmccuen6970 yeh hence i said it has nothing to do with his performance? Wtf are you telling me to calm down about?

@@HkFinn83 'wtf'? 'cause I din't never fkn' say it was the bike that gave him the wins in the first place, now I did I...

Exactly grand tour win in 2011, podium 2012 and winning mostly till 2017 makes his peak longer than most.

They clickbaited like it was some dramatic fall from grace. It was almost 10 years since he peaked. No one keeps on top for that long

Yep, did mine 15 years ago. I'd say it's at 80-85%, but as you say, it'll never get back to the full 100%.

same here, neck of femur break, fixated with cannular hip screws, was a top club rider, never the same afterwards, unfortunately.

That's more than a bit of hyperbole there.

He only won because he had a super team, Contador and Quintana were better riders even without an e-bike💀

It's suspected he used electric bikes and SKY were doping big time

Team SKY were super doped and suspected of electric bikes at that time

I was living under a rock, so I didn't follow these stories. What injuries are you talking about?

@@musclelessfitness2045 It’s all available on the internet.

After his crash he became the same rider again, just the rider he was from 20 to 27 year old.

@@simonrano8072 Beloki or Froome ?

@@marcdaniels9079 Froome, I admit the confusion is possible, they came from nowhere at 26, where in very suspicious teams, were involved in a doping trial, used asthma drugs and suffered a big crash. Froome was a nobody and since the 2011 Vuelta up to his crash is finished at least 2nd of every GT he finished, and back to nobody after hist crash. I wonder where Team Sky found that swith to turn UK citizen into GT winner...

plenty of doping in spanish football aswell, now you mention it.

How could that not be mentioned? It was a defining ride by a man who had had defining rides.

the greatest display on a bike since marco pantani on the alp duez

Watched it live. Totally baller move. Had his whole team blow the field apart and then took on the last 80km solo. 3 x climbs incl the highest summit of the race. Genuine wtf moment.

@@markrushton1516 So did I. Totally unexpected from the escape to the finish line with the doubt that they could reach he but it didn't happen.

looked a bit too much like Floyd Landis' amazing stage in the Tour

That is why I called him a total legend -amazing sportsman and thoroughly lovely character.

Boring,hardly note worthy.

The day Froome 'did a Landis'... ...it certainly was memorable, but it wasn't feelings of joy to those of us who remember Landis and Armstrong.

Why do butt hurt? It’s just a cyclist.

You just embarrassed yourself by using that American psychopaths name in relation to the sport. Shame on you.

Medical improvements…

lol that was a critic they medical issues that they used to boost their performance they were both doped to the bone

Let's be honest, Wiggins and Froome had little to do with it. The "team doctor" and his "meds" deserves most of the credit.

​@@MICHAEL_MAY_8ironically the doctor has been handed a ban from cycling as of today.

Wiggins a fraud 🤥🤥🤡🤡

Correct, to make it into pro cycling, you need specific physiology and you need to have been an avid cyclist right through childhood and teens to develop the muscle groups

​@@FortunaCzNam True. I have raced and trained with some of the best, whom I knew from a young age, so I understand what you say.

You’re joking right? The sky years were incredibly boring all the “marginal gains” and e-bikes kept them ahead, at least now there are a handful of riders that can win

If not as supporting Wiggins in 2011-2012, he could have won TDF by 6X!

Armstrong won it 7 times yeah

​​​@@tennispassionate386Armstrong lost all his wins due to drug use if you didn't know

Ghirmay has done more than Froome has ever done for African cycling.

@@sean7098 fact!

A beast on an e-bike I can agree with

@@jeremyclarkson9025 you ride an e-bike? What a looser

Brailsford only hired druggies.

Yeah, and him quoting Lanterne Rouge while showing footage of Froome racing for Barloworld: "This is Chris Froome in 2009, whose asthma hasn't been diagnosed yet."

I miss irish...

Thank you. Who else would you like to see videos on?

Glad you think so!

possible

That's me! Hi :)

@@TrueSportsLore Omgg, I'm so happy to hear you man, It's been like 10 years, This new channel is awesome keep it up!

Bloody doper

@@angus4463bellend.

Inhaler

Another ninkampoop

We will don't worry!

Yeah drug help alot

5 years is a long time

@@diegolove173 God this comment is so boring who cares anyway if he did or didnt we all know what goes on, are you someone who says Lance didnt win any tours too

yeah and how would that cover up a uci ban? they would publish the ban and sentence anyways lmao

90% of Tour riders dope. What is your point?

@@nathancook2852 My first point was about Froome . The second is that you are right , I am convinced that a lot of winners are doped . I think that is not just a problem of this sport , for esample bodybulding is absurd , but they have a full dope categorie and a clean one like natural. They should be more honest about what they take and when and not try to sale a false idea . I think for esample that Vindegaart is full of juice.

Bob Jungels

Yeah, the way he attacked on ventoux in 2013 seemed unreal to me at the time, then a few years later I got an ebike & knew exactly how he did it 😔

ABSOLUTE CRAP The bikes are routinely checked - What makes you think a legendary sportsman would risk everything everything for a single stage ? This is just plain STUPID

With Hincapie, no less! I saw they have a podcast on KZfaq and damn near threw up lmao

Yes, exactly. Since he s been watched, his performance went down.

Agree 100%

To say pro cyclists don't take PED's is like calling the Pope a pornstar

😂 thank you

even if all of your allegations are true, you conclusions are wrong, his rose to the top because he was the strongest.

@@rena-mq2bg You've just proven the point I was making there. Everything I wrote up to my last sentence is 100% factual, not allegations. You are in denial.

@@mattcast44 in order for your conclusions to be true, you must demonstrate that he had an unfair advantage over the other racers... Can you?

@@rena-mq2bg Well, Team Sky riders certainly had an unfair advantage over teams that were members of the MPCC, a body that imposed more stringent doping restrictions on pro teams. Oddly Team Sky, while speaking a good anti-doping game, never joined this group that still proactively seeks to combat doping. Do you not wonder why? In 2014, Froome was allowed to take a powerful steroid-based drug prior to the Tour de Romandie. He had a TUE, but the TUE should have been approved by a group of experts. In Froome's case, however, it was waved through by one person, the UCI medical director. Sounds like an unfair advantage to me. The UCI president at the time used to work for British Cycling and his son was on the staff at Team Sky; that does seem relevant. Cookson himself later stated that Team Sky may have pushed the rules to "the very limit" on TUEs. Other teams did not do so - indeed the MPCC teams would not have been able to do so. So that's another unfair advantage. A UK parliamentary report concluded that Team Sky used TUEs "to enhance the performance of riders, and not just to treat medical need" and that "an ethical line" was crossed. Other teams were not doing the same and remained on the right side of that ethical line. Froome was at that team and benefitted from TUEs, so that's an unfair advantage. I look forward to your continuing denial and I'm expecting you to move the goalposts...

Spot on Matt. I totally agree with you on everything you set out here. 100%
