^ we need to move this shit to the pub man gettin wayyyyyyy of topic hahahaha

Ok, here we go:

1. Lose weight

2. Race fewer days prior to the Tour.

3. Higher cadence. (Contradicted a few weeks later by saying he has a lower cadence).

4. Warm downs

5. Importance of reccovery

6. Improved planning.

That is Bradley Wiggins' list of excuses. Wiggins' reported V02 Max is 70-80; which is not all that high. For example Lance Armstrong (LOL) had a V02 Max of 84. Cadel Evans has a V02 Max of 87. Greg LeMond had a V02 Max of 89, Miguel Indurain; 94. Alberto Contador's V02 Max is the highest ever recorded by a cyclist, at an amazing 99.5. The general formula involving V02 Max and potential power output is V02 (litres per minute)= Power multiplied by 0.0108+ (0.007 multiplied by weight).

Substituting in values, we should get 6.1 = (440*0.0108+0.007)(69). Instead, we get 5.235. A large discrepancy. He's lying about his power data.

And as for his excuses:

1. At 69 kilograms he's still heavier than his nearest rival, Vincenzo Nibali. Also, he's an elite athlete with body fat levels varying from 4 to 8% depending on whether or not he's racing. Losing 13 kilograms would entail losing at least 12 kilograms of pure muscle. Despite that he has increased his wattage output.

2. If it was that simple, why haven't people done it yet?

3. Contradicted by himself.

4. Everybody warms up/down.

5. Recovery, eh? Do you mean EPO?

6. Everybody plans. Your director sportif (equivalent to a manager in football) is not some revolutionary tactician like Alexandre Vinokourov.

Ok you win ...... nawt

I have crucified my FIFA disc na you actually win crucifying a disk would be far too far also a massive waste of time.

Damn it, give me some graphs and I'll catch out a doper. What you want is beyond me

i smacked my PS3 and had to go get it fixed hahahaha no lie......

in an hr you'l be back at the game store buying a new copy anyway.

Installed it on my harddrive so I'll just steal someones disk

[capriccioso 2,545]

how the fuck you have a monitor on bradley wiggins heart rate!?!?

like a said in rename thread.....fukin encyclopedia

That's not his heart rate.

The yellow and green lines there are what you should be paying attention to. They give you information on his cadence (measured in RPM) and power (measured in watts). Looking at his cadence, its around a steady 105-115. His power is a lot more fluctuating, but we're seeing it spike up to 1000 watts many times. Now, when you take it a little further, you'll see that when his cadence rises (i.e. he's pedalling faster); his power rises. But its not consistent. He does not need to put out 1000 watts to accelerate.

The power data there comes from ~40 km on a pan flat road. Here is one involving mountains, which require higher levels of power, and a lower cadence.

Even on the massive climb, La Bola del Mundo, which is 21.8 km of pain at an average gradient of 6.2%, the last 3km of which are at an incredibly steep 12.3%, Nibali's power output never crosses the 400 threshold. As expected, his cadence drops on the climb, but to very low levels- between 40 and 60 RPM. That's the mark of either a very, very cunning doper or an honest rider.

Sorry for creepin on this, but basically Wiggo is dopin' ?

All the signs point to it. Team Sky have hired two doctors that have a notorious reputation. He's putting out performances that are slaughtering known, clean, world class cyclists like Nibali. His power data is mathematically impossible. He's not the tell though. The big indicators that something is going on at Team Sky are Chris Froome, and the Aussie duo of Richie Porte and Michael Rogers. Froome, gee, talk about donkey to racehorse, this guy was a nobody 11 months ago, about to have his contract cut. Suddenly he's the second best stage racer in the world. Richie Porte had a known dope doctor on his team last year but he was never this good. Michael Rogers hasn't shown this kind of form since 2006, where he was on a team that has now been disbanded because doping cases crippled it of its riders, sponsors and therefore finances.
