    The thread title had me imagining a doll or something equally awful.

    Really hope he's OK.

    In every way, we don't need another scandal, or negative story.

    He should wear a helmet and concentrate more on staying upright then showboating.

    Just had a quick look through his twitter photos....what a narcissist.

    Following this guy's life story is painful. Did anything come out of the recent car park drug-dealing scandal in which he was supposedly involved?

    Apparently he is now involved in setting unofficial Strava type records up the various Tour de France climbs... yesterday was having a go at Mt Ventoux... the record belongs to Iban Mayo... apparently he was timed only 3 minutes down on Mayo's time, suggesting despite the ban, he is still a very avid juice consumer...

    What is more concerning is that he must get some kind of funding for doing these things, so clearly there is still a minority of imbeciles who think something of Ricco'.

    I have the feeling he will end up badly... :?

    Do you have a link for that strava stuff?

    And presumably that crash of his was him descending Ventoux?!

    Blimey Ricco needs help, but unfortunately I doubt his hangers on would be interested in that.

    Froome's time sticks out there like a sore thumb, are there any other recent times missing? If not then hmmmmmmm :(

    Note the time gaps.

    Also when it comes to these lists of times I guess we're still ignoring things such as wind direction and weather in general, where the stage fell in the race, the parcours of the stage leading up to the climb and other similarly irrelevant little things?

    Nibali at +5 seconds?
    Wiggins at +10?

    Times mean nothing

    That's better, I'd thought Wiggins should have been on there somewhere as he wasn't to much behind LA & Contrador in 2009, but wasn't sure.

    What's the likeliest fastest clean time from the above list then? Wasn't Moncoutie thought to be a safe bet as a clean rider? You'd presume after Festina the year before that he was riding clean in 1999? Although a lot weren't seemingly!

    As for Ricco, I can't help but feel sad really. I can't imagine that he has any sort of 'inner peace' in his life.

    Ventoux is a strange climb to do comparisons... too exposed to the elements for times to mean anything

    I read about Ricco' on the Gazzetta website and yes, he fell off riding down
