Motor Doping

Just a Guess but I think is means having a battery powered motor in the downtube .

Absolutely. That's how his whole retirement kom thing started and I love seeing Phil's name at the top and not Brandt Sorenson

That is genius! I like your sense of humor. You need to email that to Phil. That would be so funny. They can recreate the Boonen/Spartacus moment on the muur, except Phil is pulling away! LOL

What humor? That's what Phil's been doing.

People dogging Gaimon for making money riding (and talking about riding) his bike. We should all be so lucky. If I could get sponsors chasing KOMs and a book published dishing dirt about the pro peloton, I'd be all over that ****. Everybody loves rumors and gossip, if you didn't you wouldn't be bothering with this thread.

He writes like "one of us" if we made it to the pro ranks. I enjoy his candor and glad he is doing something with cycling.

Couldn't Gaimon just challenge FC to re-create his effortless accelerations on those two sections?

Sure, but FC now is obviously not at his peak like he was then. There are just so many factors at play its one of those things that unless caught red-handed is almost impossible to prove.

90kg? That's hard to believe (referring to FC).
