    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Given that 'Bermon' is rumoured to be Dawg's good Dr, and that this recent story about systematic Russian doping has come to light... have a look at this overview of a sports seminar organised in Moscow by the IAAF and moderated by none other than the Dawg's good physician. bold italics...

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    Do you think that? Hope that's not what happened, and that poor chap did just naturally pick up something.

    The revenge of Rasmussen ...

    Absolutely agree - just need Johan to go full *** with his H bombs and the 3 of them will have been able to do what all the dope tests, anti doping agencies & federations have never been able to do...the irony of the house finally being put in order by them is not lost on me.

    Which approach to doping confession - Sky v Garmin?

    Which approach do you feel is the correct one given the history of the sport and that many riders appear to have secrets in the closet. This covers both current riders, and those graduated into management roles. Sky and their ZeroTolerance Policy vs Garmin's more liberal approach to confession.

    Ricco's Mountain ascents

    This could actually be the help he is looking for... A chance to ride his bike, hopefully with people looking out for him. And a chance to 'be' part of something... Cause that's what he appears to be missing.

    Ricco's Mountain ascents

    Delicate and tricky subject... U couldn't allow it to turn into a US Masters style drug fest, so you would have to find someway of implementing controls into it. God knows what the UCI would think of it...... ;)

    Ricco's Mountain ascents

    So.... Assuming this is going to happen... What do you want to see, how would you set this up? Me, I'd want to see.... - 6 hour race window. - open invite to anyone wanting to race, but with a quAlifying time to secure a spot in the final race day. - all finalists tested in the build up and...

    Ricco

    At this level am afraid like all pro sport - It's all entertainment, and the doping has / does / will go with that... So, on the basis... I 'like' Ricco, like I 'like' Vino... And for that I welcome him back - under guidelines, care etc... Someone posted earlier a proposed 'Red Bull'...

    Ricco

    Hail Ricco - the king of the Strava segments!!! Hope he does this, will be amusing / interesting to watch. Of course, all unofficial times as none will be UCI ratified.....men in grey suits won't like this from Ricco.

    JV talks, sort of

    Not to my knowledge.

    Ricco

    Personally I think he should be allowed back... Under strict supervision and testing parameters, I think he's been hard done by compared to others. And this is putting aside what you may think him as an individual.

    Dave - so what's the deal re the rumours circulating at the Giro this year about a previous GT winner having to explain his values re BP issues..... But unlike T-L his name was not released to the media...
