This was one of the fastet TDFs in history, so what gives?
Is EPO over rated, I am assuming they checked heavily on doping, and assuming there is not a undetectable wonder drug out there.
Cyclists that were kicked tout of the tour aseveral years ago were present this year and tested clean.
Unlike years past the field started racing immediately after the real start and there was no letting up untill the end.
So either Epo or doping is over rated, or there is a new unknown wonder drug out there, or personally I beleive that the teams and cyclysts are mastering rest, recovery and periodization (look at team Rabo Bank after they lost Levy and ?? all they had left were crit runners and those who are vyng for the world cup and did poorly)
Any thoughts?
