Woops! My bad. When is the rest of the world going to get in line with 'Murican units?


Perhaps ask the pilot of Air Canada flight 143 what he thinks.

The big difference between CW and the likes of Wiggo and Froome is that CW rose to dominance very quickly after becoming a pro and not like the others who were in the sport as a pro for years and years prior to winning the TdF. This means improvements in training, gear, ect. are likely to have had a huge impact on her raise where as the same argument is really weak for Wiggo. Its easier to imagine how large fitness gains can be made without drugs when the jump is from amateur to fully supported pro rather than fully supported pro to pro supported by a team proud of 'taking advantage of all marginal gains'. Doesn't prove shes was clean by a long shot but does bypass many of the questions surrounding how some of the top peleton guys suddenly got so good.
