lol, that reminds me that recently someone put up a "Ulle war sauber" ("Ulle [Jan Ullrich] was clean") sticker in one of the toilet stalls at my workplace (and no, it wasn't me)

He’s a good lad I know how he feels, I lost a local hill climb tt to Brandon Mcnulty (yes that one) some years ago. He smashed us by minutes on a sub 20 min climb. Russian Bear fucked around with this message at 05:02 on May 28, 2024 |

The PP brothers amongst others live locally, so even for the more obscure roads which the pro tour would not be able to race on have been smashed by these men and women on training rides.

I just want to be able to beat my 2014-2015 climb times. No clue how I was doing some of those times chronically under-carbed and over trained.

The Dauphiné goes up my local HC calibre climb the Salève on the 8th, sadly not a MTF but looking forward to seeing them climb the 14% sections. I guess it also means the road surface has been freshened up and we might see it feature in the Tour next year.

Angryhead posted:https://www.uci.org/pressrelease/uci-statement-concerning-miguel-angel-lopez2/4Ot8GmGsmT749ekuBE1KaX ![]() I hadn't heard of menotropin before, but this does sound very sus: quote:Parenteral administration of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the production of testosterone in males and these gonadotropins can therefore be used by athletes to enhance muscle strength. However, they are more expensive and less efficient than testosterone and anabolic steroids. Therefore their main use is probably to stimulate gonadal testosterone production during and after self-administration of testosterone or anabolic steroids.

It’s typically taken during post testosterone cycle therapy in other contexts (as taking test suppresses your natural production), would be curious if there is some other effect they use it for in endurance sports besides stimulating your body to start producing its own again.

I've booked the 19th of July off work. Going to see if I can manage a trip to nice. Seems like an amazing opportunity to see two mountain stages and the final TT up close.
