You are not suggesting that you've ridden too many years, are you?

As the saying goes, it's not the bike, it's the engine driving it.

Obviously these all are inferences. Until there's direct hard evidence, Froome/Sky will enjoy the benefit of doubt. And exactly what Sky does in their program will remain a mystery.

Nowadays no one can believe Froome is clean. Armstrong had a huge congregation of fanatic followers, all absolutely shattered now. This is not the same world. The biological passport clearly isn't enough if Froome is flying like a rocket without being worried. Either highly powerful members of the UCI are paid by Sky or Froome himself to turn a blind eye, either there's a new product on the market.
