The Dark Truth Behind Team Sky’s Marginal Gains

Cycling is no different than any other professional sports. Its all full of drugs and wrecked with betting scams.😂😂😂😂 .
The owners and the media grift off peoples wish to associate themselves to the culture. Because the powers that be need to create tangible benefits to belonging to the stratified economic structures. 50yr old men who can be enticed to go out every Saturday and pretend they are still young on their bikes are not doing things that the system doesnt want them doing, such as spending quality time with family, praying…..

I’m so glad you’ve opened this can again! I’ve been saying for years and years. Investigate Froomie, too many things don’t add up. They all hoping this goes away! We need more people like yourself asking those questions again? Every coverup has to have a smoke screen, marginal BS was the best ticket. Sell the concept that all little things add up and be boxing clever and somewhat open when distributing go juice. Hiding it like Lance was done, SKy had to be wiser, and let’s face it, they were! Time to open this lunchbox and let’s breakdown who eat what!

I still don’t believe about that Froome accident during training.

Cant wait to find out what designer drugs UAE has been using all this time

The Irish really have a chip on their shoulder's about the British don't they. So desperate for clicks he dredges up a story from 10 years ago to make snide insinuations when the current greatest cycling performance of all time goes unquestioned.

I never thought Team Sky was clean. They looked just like US Postal when Lance was winning every year. Every disgraced doper has denied doping until they get caught. This video makes is sound like Team Sky found a way to leverage the rules to use performance enhancers approved for restricted use in manner that was outside of the ethical use for a drug. Cycling is never going to get out from under doping suspicion, it's too ingrained in the DNA history of the sport. Winners in this sport are always under suspicion of doping. It's just part of the sport.

Thank you for this, you have more balls then most journalists these days

Lance Armstrong asked Ferrari, "hey bud, what training plan should I use on this stuff", Ferrari responded "on this shit, you dont need no training plan".

Same applys in a lot of situations, we just live in a more deceptive era now.

But Pogacar is squeaky clean? So when will the entire UAE team get investigated?

There is some irony on it being the Russians to blow the whistle on Sky.

it isnt 'the Brailsford model' tho is it, its taken from the Toyota Production System idea of marginal gains and continuous improvement, its systems engineering at its core, where certain aspects of the philosophy such as problem diagnosis via root cause analysis, 5 whys etc etc are proven to deliver significant performance improvements, a racing team is arguably just a system of systems after all, so those improvements WILL stack up. To say that it didnt work is just pure folly and shows a lack of understanding of the origin.

Now, was there other dodgy stuff going on that also made a differnce, I have no idea, I personally think yes, and we have no idea of knowing how impactful it may have been if it did. . . but what I do know is every other team adopted the same approach that Brailford implemented, and if you asked them to go back to the old method now there likely wouldnt be a single one that would.

I gained 1%,,, i bought a bike ! Lol 😂

The Prisoner's Dilemma in professional cycling illustrates why riders often face a choice between cooperating (sharing the work in a breakaway) or competing (letting others do the work to save energy), often leading to a suboptimal result for both. It models both race tactics, where distrust prevents a successful escape, and the doping "arms race," where fear of losing drives athletes to dope.
The riders today are breaking the records of riders and races in heavily doped years. I'm willing to bet it's not marginal gains and skin suits that has produced these amazing times and super riders.

Too bad folks misrepresent an asthma inhaler medication for an anabolic steroid….
Not all steroids are the same people. Google it…..

And yes…there is so much doping. The worst now is the
“mechanical doping”…putting electric engines in bikes ffs🙄🤬

the reason for sky’s success is obvious. they bought it. sky’s budget was at least 2x the next best-financed team. sky bought the best riders, best science, best support services. just like clive woodward & the english olympic team success was achieved by outspending everyone.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof
