I think Canceralla has made a smart move. Contador is essentially a one man band essentially and has not brought over any riders that can help Fabian in the classics. Fabian, obviously is a classics rider (and time trialist) and wants to be in a team that 1. Helps him win classics 2. Give...

Its called Long QT syndrome.

THe discussion of where JB placed in different races (when he was a domestic) seems a little irrelevant to me as no one has any idea of the level of effort he would have been putting on each individual stage (except maybe a final TT), particularly once his role has finished and the leaders are...

I would recommend that an additional fixed time of 6 months before the time of the test, and all results since the positive test if no other evidence is found of doping prior to the test. Also, would find the rider the equivalent of 50% his winnings from that period. I say this as i am unsure of...

People seem to getting all wound up about tiny details, often which make no difference to the premise of whether or not Lance doped. Its like argueing with your girlfriend when its that time of the month (sorry but its true). At the end of the day every excuse you give has holes in it and they...

He did get his lawyer or something to pose as a Greg LeMonds pedophile uncle. Thats is about as close to a raving lunatic as you can get. He also claims that his testosterone positive was an accident, whatever that means.

The way I saw it was that Evans pulled Gilbert and Schleck back and Contador jumped fro 10-20metres behind. It wasn´t quite as impressive as others in the forum made out. But your right he needs to improve, assuming Andy was peaking for the classics and Contador was not.

I am by no means a Lance fanboy but I can categorically state that if it had not been for Lance´s Legacy of winning the tef 7 times I would not be into cycling. The first year i watch the tdf was the year after he left but it was aroused by interest in TDF after randomly reading his book that...

The most obvious tactic for me is Saxo\RS\Liquigas forcing a selection on the second last climb of the day to create a platform for attacking an isolated Contador. The oneous (can´t spell this word) will be on Contador to chase and everyone knows that he will have too. In a waiting game he would...

I think Alberto is in trouble of being isolated big time this year. Last year he had Armstrong and Kloden who while not riding for him per say were still interested in podium finishes and thus the ´team´ was somewhat supportive of him. This year given his clear favouritism I can not see him...

It depends on what my 4-6 week block training goals are. THere is no point doing an hour of intervals if their the only intervals you will do for the next 4-6 weeks.

The suggestion that nationality/race has anything to do with the designation of good vs bad dopers is ludacris. I would suggest a 'good' doper is someone who upon return does not do it again, educates others about the dishonesty of the practice and aims to foster an anti-doping sentiment...

Has their been a precedent set for rideres suing doping riders for loss of income? I remember Lotto was considering vs. Astana after the Vino affair but what about rider on rider for example. It may be an addition deterent.

If there was silence in the peleton regarding Ricco's return and the impact of his actions would you all be happy? I suspect not. At least SOMEONE is saying how they feel. It will be very difficult to change any current "culture" that exists, little he could say about Valv. for example would...
