    Would love that. I am going to make the effort to get up before 6:00 tomorrow to watch the final 2 hrs.

    General Doping Thread.

    WADA statement from the article: “That accusation, bereft of any truth, has but a single purpose to deliberately damage the reputation of WADA.” Hmm, it would seem that WADA doesn’t need an outsider to wreck their reputation, since they are doing such a good job of it themselves.

    Giro d'Italia Giro d‘Italia 2024 Stage 15, Manerba del Garda-Livigno (Mottolino), 222 km

    I’m thinking (with nothing to back it up) that Stage 16 will be the one mountain breakaway candidates (Bardet if allowed, Rubio, Chavez, Nairo, etc) go all in because there is the huge climb early in the stage. I think tomorrow UAE or Ineos will control the racing more. But given that there’s a...

    Ugh, did you really have to show that nasty picture again? ;)

    I like the two-color scheme than all pink (or all yellow). When they do the all pink or all yellow skinsuits it looks like they’re going on stage with Abba.

    Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2024: Stage-by-stage analysis

    :( Sad, not only because the risk weather might cause organizers to alter the course again but also cause it means we’ll lose the picture on some of the climbs. But I guess we can just consider the latter a Giro tradition.

    I hope not. I mean even if he uses one of the mtn stages as high intensity training he will distance the others.

    Doping In Athletics

    Makes me wonder how many riders and athletes have instances of blood manipulation identified in their APBs but not enough of them to bring a case (announce a violation against them)?

    Doping In Athletics

    While it seems to have proven effective in this case, it also shows the futility of the ABP alone as an anti-doping tool. Yes, he has been banned, but only after 18 instances of probable blood manipulation over 7 years. And the ban could still get overturned (if he has a stable of lawyers like...

    I’m yes, sometimes talking about the problems overshadows all the benefits, which for me are significant.

    Giro d'Italia Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 14: Castigliano delle Stiviere – Desenzano del Garda, 31.2k (ITT)

    That is true, although the 2nd/final TT often comes late in the 3rd week when cumulative fatigue & recovery are even bigger factors. Illness (and recovery from) may play a bigger factor here.

    I definitely do not want to see that. For me it helps to know where other posters are coming from with their comments—and active membership will definitely change if there was a migration (some will go some won’t). But I have trouble understanding why it needs to get to this point. There is an...

    Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 13: Riccione – Cento, 179.0k

    Yeah, it always seemed less sketchy when a very dominant sprint team like Columbia or Petacchi’s blue train would take charge in the last 10 kms, even if the speed was higher.
