BANNED accesories in Cycling
The leg gel acts kike a spring energy stotage
Why are you portraying Vindegård? Are you implying he's faking?
Since I don't race, I can use whatever I want.
No evidence Roglic ever used a motor. Shame on you for insinuating.
Femke didn't get caught USING a motor, but there was a motorized bike in her pit area. Not saying she didn't cheat, but she didn't get caught doing it. Still a huge violation.
“Pay homage to her family of thieves and gangsters”. Brilliant. She should run the UCI one day…
If you get caught using a motor it should be a lifetime ban.
Tramadol isn't a simple painkiller, it has multiple metabolites that act on several systems including noradrenaline. It can be a strong stimulant. I had back pain that limited me to working half days, or confined to bed. On tramadol, suddenly I was doing full work days then coming home and doing 6 to 8 hours of vigorous project work. Every day. I hardly felt like I needed to eat or sleep and I just felt really motivated to push myself hard. This is a far better reason for it to be banned. (edit: beware, this effect only lasted a few weeks in the honeymoon period. Then the pain broke through, and even a maximum dose didn't kill the pain. You quickly burn out. There's no "free lunch", that energy came from somewhere and you pay the price. All the "up" you feel, has an equal rebound of "down". Don't use that junk, go natural. Fish oil, vitamin C mega dose. Fuel the body with real fuel, get your fitness up.)
Apparently, UCI cherry picks riders to be sanctioned. And there's nobody with the power to rein in the UCI. Hmm….
UCI is in general a joke of old corrupt men, without any desire to go beyound when they where teenagers.
And thats many, many years ago.
This guy is funny but his reporting is less than accurate and super-biased. There’s no nuance…and if anything the world of doping and cheating is so very nuanced. For example, Pedro Delgado did not take a banned substance in the tour (Probenicid). It was perfectly legal to take that in the tour but not in Olympic events. They read from the wrong list of banned substances. But the UCI leaked it as if he failed. Maybe it was to make him sweat a little? Probenicid can be used as a masking agent. That’s the nuance of doping. Pedro Delgado was rightly exonerated. Non of the 80s drugs could make up for good genetics. It’s post EPO 1991-present. Pedro Delgado would have won the 1988 if everyone else dope except him. That’s how strong he was.
I was outraged by the thumbnail. The idea that Vingegaard would use a triple…
Cipo could get away with anything, we need more like him.
Tramodol! Holy crap! That'll work like rocket fuel! Stay away from it if you can!
There have also been made rules for TT-bikes. Indurain had a super-aerodynamic one, called 'la espada', the sword or blade, with which he could cut through the air and make a difference with his opponents with 3 or 5 minutes, depending on the length of the TT. For the world hour-record-attempts it's become the same. Bikes have to meet the specifications of the UCI.
The UCI were fine with Lance Being on the Juice for years! He punched it to the limits, so they had to do something. UCi, no thanks.
So this is totally crazy, I'm the 2nd rider of the pair in the stock footage at 5:20. I was just watching along and all of a sudden, I see…myself!!! It's especially surprising because despite having raced many years, I am by no means an elite racer, and I have never seen this clip before.
The rider ahead and I were extremely dropped in this clip, the course is notorious for being essentially straight up and down, consisting of a very steep and short climb, followed long and less-steep climb, followed by a hair-raising descent. All in all, that quickly whittles down the field over the course of 20 or so laps.
The race is 2015 Stillwater Criterium in Minnesota. This amateur race used to be held every year in conjunction with the North Star Grand Prix pro race, F.K.A. the Nature Valley Grand Prix; the race went defunct in 2018. This criterium was the final stage of the pro race, and only stage of the grand prix with amateur races preceding the pro race–it was very special to get to have a race on the same course as the pros!
I suppose given how many cameras there are at events, it makes sense how this happened. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Cycling Highlights.
So you can have an aero tight kit, aero position, aero bike, aero wheels, aero whatever, but not aero gel on your legs…HUH???
Tramadol should not be in the list. Doesn’t make any sense!
You play so loose and fast with facts. 7:37 you state "Pedro Delgado tested positive for probenecid and absolutely nothing happened to him. " Yes, that is a fact. But you are committing a lie of omission by not mentioning that probenecid was not a banned substance and the lab should have never claimed he tested positive for a banned substance. Without knowing that, people are making a completely different judgement about the UCI than reality. But hey, who let's facts get in the way of clicks and profit. There are dozens of example of this, but this is the simplist with the shortest explanation .
is it possible to form another body to regulate a new set of cycling races but this time round have a body that does not have ridiculous rules. The UCI can run it's shit show while the new body runs new races
Were can you buy one of those secret motors. I don't whant somthing that will do big watts just a slight help on these 10 to 20% hills in Devon
Rulemakers : You asked us, we said yes, BUT NO!
We banned a Shape HOW MAY LESS WEALTHY TEAMS HAVE THE ABILITY TO AFFORD A HANDLEBAR SHAPE
This shit is why racing sport isnt fun anymore, Its not about tech and skill but who kisses the most ass to the regulators
Does the maker of these videos hate cycling? Funny sometimes but it is only bashing.
Niaro vs the UCI now
