Calm down, chap, it was a question from someone who isnt Strava-savvy (nor am I for that matter)0 -

I took it more as questioning whether someone had faked the data to discredit Froome e.g. copying it into Word hence the underlining.0 -
The underlined ones are those that have been manually entered by Michele Ferrari.
All others as normal.0 -
Calm down everyone. Actually I'm not a regular at Strava. And when I saw this photo on Facebook with the usual accusations, I found bizarre. Thank you for your answers. And the guy on Strava Luke S and the datas : february 22, 20160

Sorry for reviving this. But apparently Cadel Evans spotted Froome's potential back in 2008 during his debut. So does this debunk the 'he came from nowhere' theory?
Story in Procycling/CyclingnewsCF: It’s nice to walk away from the sport without regrets, and be happy with what you have done. Looking further back to 2008...You won’t remember this - you were trying to win the Tour yourself – but that was my debut as a neo-pro on Barloworld.
CE: I do remember!
CF: That was the year Carlos Sastre won; you were second, under a minute back. My best result was something like 14th in the final time trial, so I wasn’t up there on GC but do you remember racing against me? Or were you focused on your race?
CE: I remember well. This is funny. There was a stage which ended on a descent. It was the highest road in Europe – they made a little extra road to make it higher [Col de la Bonnette]. I was watching you and your positioning before the climb, then looked through the results at the finish to see where you were. That evening I told the Lotto team manager, Marc Sergeant, that you were a rider we should sign.
With your experience and what you had physically, and you being from Africa, it gave me faith in you as a rider for the future. I said that you were a rider to watch, that we should get you on the team, and that you were going to go somewhere. It’s easy to say that now but at the time I saw with you being new to the peloton… What people don’t realise is that without experience, the positioning before the climbs when you first go to race in Europe as a pro is far more difficult than they think. I thought you were pretty good!0 -

I've already read some of it. I never like the 'guest editor' gimmick in the media though. If he really edited it there would be ten pages about rhinos and elephants.Rick Chasey wrote:It's a good edition of procycling this month.

someone has posted this photo on a Facebook page, saying it would be the Froome data on Strava for a ride in SA. Is it only me that finds it strange :?: , not the numbers but the fact that each line, kmh m w and bpm are underlined as when we made mistakes when typing on the keyboard

Well tbf Big Jan was what you might safely call an outlier in the off-season chubster stakes0 -

You may jest but accordingly to Friebe on the Wiggins special ALL Tour winners have an asterisk against their name. He asserted that while Armstrong's was a large one, Wiggins' after recent events (and I'd guess Evan's give the Ferrari association) were on the smaller scale.0 -

That's ironic, as there are asterisks against the majority of cycling journos too0 -

He has said many times over the years that his weight remains remarkably stable even in the off season.0 -
Yeah. Though where is the master list 0
