I predict MS will swap the Yates brothers out mid ride for the first attempt at 'twin doping'

Re: Re: Was hoping I wouldn't see Jan's gloating till at least a bit later in the race :) . I'm a porte fan but man this is a real bummer year after year.

It's growing more in Australia in the last couple of years. Still I wonder if our cycling body would take more notice if it was an Olympic sport. With all the insurance and safety requirements these days road races are harder to manage so maybe that's where cd has an advantage. I would like to...

sorry Jan didn't mean to railroad you as you've obviously been through this before ( I haven't read all the other threads). I think the distance/not enough good riders thing is interesting, but is an extra 8 hours on a plane (as opposed to the US) once a year that big of a deal? Maybe it is I...

Hey Jan, just wondering if you had ideas on how to make the race better? Not being sarcastic really curious. I am in Oz and find lots of people here enjoy the race, and like the fact that you can go to Adelaide for the week and stay in the same place, see a few stages and sometimes ride back...

Oz eurosport doesn't show any cx as far as I know. there is a UCI youtube channel (shows the world cups sometimes I think) and behindthebarriers.tv for US cx, but again they are both streams (legal). I think you might be out of luck without the internets im afraid. There are some downloadable...

Simon comes across as very nice fellow. Good for him. I loved watching the communication between him and Julian Dean in the back stage pass that was pretty interesting I thought.

ive also seen probenacid used in combination with antibiotic treatments when using cephalosporins for example, maybe he had a skin infection, or an STD or something?

I agree that they roll a bit better than my 26r, but more nib,blue than my 29r, but there are so many variations on geo etc that you'd have to ride a lot of bikes to find a definitive answer. I do notice my 26r hangs up a bit on small to medium bumps a bit more that the 650b. I have sen some...

Shame Ewan got dropped.

Man he is hard to love sometimes :o

You didn't see him last year? He was usually just behind cavendish...or kittel...or Sagan...

Just wondering how they ride in these champs races, do the teams ride for each other, what do the individuals do? Is ther back door deals done to see who rides for who? Or is it just everyman for himself?

Really? I see lots more cyclists than ever on the roads, hopefully that translates to some spectators on the side of the road. I do get the odd smart **** coment at work though re drugs etc, but whats new. I am headed to the race for the first time and really looking forward to it. A family...

What's matty Lloyd doing this year? He is an interesting dude, I checked his website and hasn't been updated in a while
