Just took delivery of a Rapha Hardshell jacket and long sleeved merino base layer. I don't buy into their marketing/lifestyle vibe and so don't purchase their cycling clothing because of it. I buy Rapha gear (bases, bib, jackets and 3/4s) because of the quality of the finish and long lasting...

Found this twitter avatar:

Great letter to Brian Cookson from luckyboy. I really hope he reads it.

Surely regardless of a teams PR strategy if they employ the likes of Kim Andersen as their DS they deserve condemnation. Sky are in the currently in the spotlight, and rightly so, but is interesting that there is not equal focus on Katusha and RSNT who, it could be argued, deserve greater...

One of the best, to-the-point articles I've read.

Response from Gesink This from the CN article on Gesink's view: “Of course there were a lot of bad things going on in cycling, everyone saw and it’s never a good thing to have a sponsors name on something like that and I didn’t think it would happen. Not at this moment when the team is full...

Indeed excellent work from RR and a number of other clinicians who have been so informative regarding doping over the last few years.

He should be wired up to a lie detector when and if he makes and apology!

Feels good... ...to be proactive. Well done those who penned the letter. Just signed the petition.

Speculation into power to weight on climbs etc is all well and good but doesn't provide definitive answers, although I understand why folks engage in it. The fact it does go on for me is an indication of the damage that has been inflicted on the sport. Indeed given the last 20yrs it does...

Given the last 20yrs of the sport it does indeed seem that JR is doped. Hopefully in another 20yrs we'll be able to look at a dominant performance without suspicion, trust the riders and teams and have reason to believe in the sport. The really sad thing is that it is almost impossible to...

Was it common knowledge that the evidence USADA has is their own rather than evidence they acquired from the Federal investigation... That fact, at least was news to me. Maybe I missed it up thread.

An open letter to the David Brailsford and Bradley Wiggins I think it comes down to the powerful teams managers and riders taking the initiative to speak out. I don't have a twitter account but people who do could tweet Bradley Wiggins and Dave Brailsford with this link, who knows they may...
