Likely not. My suggestion was that his presence and any inferred influence is more significant than that of Israeli riders, but combined with them can be a flashpoint. I could edit that post and delete this one, and/or provide a link and sources, but there’s no need to engage the mods other...

The riders are less the issue than the potential that Adams’ involvement will bring protests.

More than this and to StSt’s resummation, Armstrong’s definitive, salient and most contentious period ended in 2005. But maybe his motor just wasn’t working later on Verbier even if all the staff and teammates were properly vetted by then.

There are some exceptions on the glass/bottle can distinction, like Heady Topper https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/46317/16814/ Pilsner in a can after exertion in the heat also seems more direct.

This isn’t strictly true. You can drop someone on tempo by holding and bringing it up. At which point burst/explosivity is on top of that. But, say, Basso’s Zoncolan does it mostly on tempo. Maybe that applies less now; distances, etc.

You rarely get into this level; it’s a nice change. Within cycling and its returned diversification this may be a debatable perception (unless Jonas finds a rhythm for one days), but most of that intensity and focus is still built off the Tour in this century

This is true and legality is demonstrably not a measure of maturity. Some of the language in recent posts may have been snide and sarcastic, but wasn’t Netserk’s original post (however debatable the latter one about maturity and military command) a confirmation of some psychological testing on...

Not to defend them or these premises, if they send Almeida to the Giro and Jonas goes, they can tire him before the Tour. If he doesn’t, they can hit all three GTs “earnestly” anyway. Which is basically what Pogacar said in terms of doing all three relative to team considerations.

Yes, but you can buy some electrolytes and gels to enhance the view.

It’s not inconceivable, but fairly nonexistent on detail as to how this organized ownership would take form across events and countries without a stabilized revenue stream. And the post 70s business model it works from is not wholly embraced these days (the promo goodies at the front of the...

Glad the Libertine/Remco advocacy was cleared up.

This can’t go too far under current forum rules, but there may be arguments to the effect that some context allows doping less than distinctly motivates it. Both, maybe, in the case of some recent teams.
