    Clean Colombians? (Arkea investigation page 27)

    That reminds me of the Australian swimmer who got busted she said she got it from eating steak that had the steroid in it from when the animal was alive.

    Clean Colombians? (Arkea investigation page 27)

    Well I've woken up in Australia and looked at my newspaper and just heard about this Let me say I am shocked. SHOCKED And will be shocked if he's the only one who goes down this year. Seems a good way to slowly tax the public mind for the inevitable alien pinging announcement

    Tour de Cleans?

    Re: Re: How many late nights have I spent in yawn mountain stages where they don't attack. And it's left to the last climb, or 2nd last day ITT?

    Rate the 2019 Tour de France

    I gave 5 because I'm torn. Was it a 10 or a 1? All reasons noted speak well. Loved the crosswind but once in 3 weeks and just that I am meant to get excited? Ineos and the boring non attacks. The fizzle at the end. I think seeing alaphilippe ITT and not even puff getting off the bike. Well...

    Tour de Cleans?

    "He got off the bike and wasn't even puffing" There is a new drug out there, and because it is so good, maybe people aren't taking the old stuff being wary of it. Is all I can think. Losing the Friday stage had an impact also. Maybe teams had their run planned for then and Saturday and had...

    United Kingdom | 6 TDF Wins in 10 Years?

    I'm guessing you missed the nuance and context. Sigh. What an amazing thread this has been. What an odd, odd race

    General Doping Thread.

    Re: Re: IF he is clean it is a great action. More please. How sad that Australia swimming new it had just days earlier sent a girl home after a failed test, and didn't tell any of the swimmers...

    Re: Re: 100% there is a new PED on the market. Those swimmers have been breaking Ian Thorpe and Michael Phelps seal-suit times.

    You mean with Yates or Alaphillipe holding on so well?

    Julian Alaphilippe

    Re: I want him to be busted for honesty, and for Cyclings sake. I don't want him to be busted for France's, and cycling's sake. Is this just too big for France now that they couldn't just him....if he were found to be dirty? I'm really sad for cycling, and for tours. You're allowed to win...

    Solid work that. Just a couple of standard deviations beyond the alreasy-above average standard deviants Nothing to see here. Move along

    Julian Alaphilippe

    A great effort today by JA, but he's expended far more energy in the stages to date than his rivals for the maillot jaune, and the head says he has to pay for it in the end. But of course the heart says: "Allez, mon brave!" If he does manage to hang on to Paris, it'll be one of the very...

    Re: Thank you also for posting this that really is refreshing to see as you say. I so want someone to bust this open tonight and force the pointy end of the Spear riders to follow

    Julian Alaphilippe

    Re: There's merit to what you say but his ability or capacity to be jubilant after he crossed the line demonstrates that he actually still had something left in the tank and that's what I find beyond belief. Believe it or not it was possible he could have gone even faster than he did

    Julian Alaphilippe

    Re: Long way to go, and if he blows up tomorrow then it kind of explains the extreme dominance today. But very interested to see I'd like to see Yates go hard from the start tomorrow to see if the top 5 can go with him. I want to know how many pennies the top GC riders might have already...
