Talk:Miguel Induráin

message: i deleted the following line from the article: "In 1994, he was once tested positive with Salbutamol." because i would consider this a major claim and it came from an ip address only. (not a registered user) if someone else can confirm this, we can put it back into the article.uri budnik 15:05, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Someone replaced "Big Mig" with "Miguelón" - I'm not familiar with the latter nickname... GregorB 21:47, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It was used in Spain. It was so popular that a cranium found in Atapuerca around that time was nicknamed Miguelón. --Error 01:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Miguelón?

message: End of the first paragraph: "...which earned him the nickname 'Miguelón'".  This is a meaningless sentence.  "Miguelón" has no meaning in English, so there is no connection between this group of letters and the discussion of his size.  ...or do Basque/Spanish cyclists get more letters according to their height?  And it is significant that this horse of a man has earned an eight letter name?  Give me a hint.  It is Spanish or Basque?  (Looks Spanish).  I give up, please clarify.

thread_title:  Is his nickname not "Flaxplutzine"? 

message: This page claims it is 88
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VO2_max#VO2_max_Levels claims it is 96 for Miguel Indurain
I hope someone who is interested but more knowledgable than me, can reconcile this.
Cheers!

thread_title:  5 Tours Wins and Almost Nothing About Them 

message: This article is terrible. As it stands, it is nothing more than a hagiography. It contains only unfettered praise and not an ounce of criticism. What's more, most of the praise seems to be entirely unsourced and nothing more than the writer's opinion. This is not encyclopaedic, it is a fanzine. BearAllen (talk) 10:25, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You're free to modify the article as you see fit, and remove or tag any inaccurate 'praise' or add any valid criticism. Bear in mind, however, it stands to reason that if you aren't knowledgeable enough on the subject matter to provide sourced criticism, you probably lack the credentials to evaluate the merit of the information in the article. Just a thought. --71.234.195.17 (talk) 23:52, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I've done my best to tidy and expand the article, and to remove the hagliography. If you can suggest anything else, I'll see if I can do it. If not, maybe someone else? Les woodland (talk) 15:54, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added some things, mainly about his early years. I think his 1992 and 1993 Giro wins deserve some more prose. One problem I had: "Indurain took two months to consider his future, particularly the seven million pesetas (€4.5 million)". €4.5 million corresponds to roughly 700 million pesetas, so one of these numbers must be wrong, but I don't have access to the sources to find out what is right. --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 11:44, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

message: From where comes this reference? In a Google search I only find it at en:WP and some blogs. L'Équipe is a French journal I know but we must believe it because is written in WP? In electro-physiology 28 bpm a sinusal rhythm at rest is strange because AV-node would take the control of heart rate at a rate 40-60... 28bmp is His-Purkinge rate which permits life in supine position.

message: Physical attributes
Indurain had a physiology superior to fellow athletes, according to the Ferrara institute. His blood took seven litres of oxygen around his body per minute,[28] compared to 3–4 litres for an ordinary person and 5–6 litres for fellow riders. His cardiac output was 50 litres a minute; a fit amateur cyclist's is about 25 litres. Indurain's lung capacity was 7.8 litres,[2] compared to an average of 6 litres. His resting pulse was as low as 28 BPM,[2] 
Q. Surely this: " His blood took seven litres of oxygen around his body per minute " " took " - should it be pumped.
Also 28 BPM is very low. I heard Tour de France commintators saying he had BMP of 48 or 49 at rest. And over 200 BPM Max.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.183.246.19 (talk) 23:18, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

message: Hi. Miguel Induráin Larraya writes his name with accent, like you can see at its fountation page: Greetings from the President, and in the cover of this authorised biography. He prefers orthographic rules of the Spanish language, instead ot that of the basque language. In WP:ES we moved the article to Miguel Induráin with accent. Can someone move the article, please? Thank you. Pompilos (talk) 22:17, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
