i´d love to see a 10 k time trial between boardman and cancellara at their best

@rentonvega How exactly would Cancellara detroy boardman? 55.12km/hr average over 7km's. No one destroys that. Fuck power, times are what tells you what. Cav's power is way less than Huschovds and Boonen's. Cancellara did a 7.9km course in the London prologue at 53 km/hr average. Way less than Boardman's speed. Clearly they are both awesome athletes and I'd love to see a head to head, but when you talk about Fab destroying Boardman you show a lack of respect and knowledge/

And done clean as well.

Everyone that plays down Lemond's TT is an absolute wanker. I'd like to see CB do 55kmph after 2000 miles of racing, but the rides are incomparable for this very reason. Yes this is a good TT, but Lemond's was over 3 times longer and almost just as fast. Basically, all this bickering is useless. Boardman was best at short TT in the prologue, Cancellara is modern TT 4 time world champion, and Lemond was able to will himself to victory in '89 TDF with a devastating TT time.

COME ON you can not win in cycling if you are not on drugs. That is why Cancellar has lost several times to Tony Martin. UCI’s doping suspicions from 2010 Tour de France tony was on level 7 and cancellara level 1,Those in categories six and above (6-10) showed “overwhelming” evidence of some kind of doping. Are you serious, Lemond and Boardman was the worst time of dopingoffenders, no test, no limit no blood passport and so on.

@MacTobey that would be something...everyone talks about how big and strong cancellara is...i will give him credit for being more consistant than boardman...but i still want to see him break records...id love to see him break the hour record but the UCI messed all that up with thier bike rules...

[dan32113]

@bergslag Lemond drug addict? rubbish, all the evidence suggest he was clean! Cyrille Guimard said Lemond was the only clean rider at Renualt elf Gitane. He left PDM because of there drug use, don"t you think Armstrong, who is Lemonds bitter rival hasn"t tried to find shit on Greg, but there is nothing! Nobody has ever come forward & said Lemond takes drugs! Boardman was clean as well, are you jealous he is faster rider than Cancellara. Lemonds watt was lower, beacuse he was drug free!!!

@dan32113

And i dont care, Fabians was ranked 1 UCI’s doping suspicions from 2010 Tour de France. That means he is not even near doping. Of course boadman,armstrong and lemond were drugaddicts. Lemonds watts was low in the last TT in 89 tdf.Just 420 watts,as i said, Gustav Larsson did Sovang 2009 and placed 6th, 486 watts.

Tour de france 2011 was the cleanest Tour in 20 years. Even armstrong in 2010 was afraid of using bloodbags (he only used epo to 2000 after that bloodbags)

@nonfictionone

you are dumb, focous has nothing to do with winning a TT, so Fabian is the best to focus...dumb.

[dan32113]

@bergslag thicko! read this! the 1986 finish on Alp d"huez was ridden slowy by Lemond & Hinualt. They had already broken the opposition on earlier climbs! They rode it side by side & joined arms at the top! They weren"t racing up the mountain stupid... ps Armstrong is going to prison, the Feds are on his EPO ass! FACT

[bergslag]

@dan32113

you are stupid, read this:

Lemond did 420 watts in 89 TT he said, Gustav Larsson TT in solvang 2009,he did 486 watts (HE CAME 6TH).

And yes, that is vo2 ml/kg/min, not totally vo2 max without /kg. Of course Cancellara has much bigger vo2 max but lower vo2 max/kg/min. He did alpedhuez in 48min in 1986,Arstrong about 10 minutes faster.

[dan32113]

@bergslag Boardman did ride the fastest ever prologue, FACT. Lemond would beat anyone, he rode 25km in 1989 @ 54.545 km/h. Boardman was a track cyclist, he had more pure speed than Cancellara. But i"d say Lemond was untouchable over longer distance, his VO2 max was in the 90"s! (very high!)
