Re: Re: It's his home race. The upcoming stages are in his home city. He will never skip Tour des Fjords.

Re: Re: Troll. You now what I mean. To accuse someone of such a thing you need to put more to the table. It's obvious for everyone that you don't know who Ørn is, what he do, and what he stands for. To allmost compare him with a Ferrari or a Fuentes type of guy is beyond paranoid even for...

Re: Well, you were insinuating that Ørn is doping minors. That is a pretty serious question. And Ørn hasn't anywhere said that there is NO effect from the doping. Off course there are effects, but he thinks that in the long run the negative effects (which is also thoroughly documented)...

Re: Re: Well I'm only writing what Ørn is saying, because what you wrote was not what he said. And if I think he is naive? I don't know. Probably he is. But as a man who works full time as a cardiologist at a hospital (not as a trainer, or a cycling doctor, he doesn't even get paid for the...

Re: Re: Which observations? Ørn is not saying that there is no doping i modern cycling. The only thing he's saying is that he believes many of the methods (like kortison, testosterone, growth hormone, steroids and micro-dose EPO) doesn't have an effect that is greater than the effect you get...

Re: Re: Well, which team should he have signed for? Which team is better? Etixx? Tinkoff? Sky? You find connections with doping in all teams in the sport. With your logic he shouldn't have let his stepson enter the sport of cycling at all.

Re: Re: Why is it clear? Or are you just making assumptions?

Re: Paris - Roubaix 12th April 1.UWT Kristoff punctured and crashed in and after Arenberg last year, and DNF. So we have never really seen Kristoff in this kind of form in Paris - Roubaix. But it's no doubt that in the past years RvV has been his favourite race of the two.

Cadel on twitter: "Checking the news..... I so want Thor #godofthunder on our Tour team next year.... Why do people say otherwise?"

If he shows regret and a better view on the society, he will be set free before he dies. Personal feelings and opinions have to give in to professionalism. And I hope we have the same humane policy in the future, and that this will not disturb anything. But he will be a watched man when he...

I think the maximum sentence will be the same in the future. But we actually have a special sentence for "crimes against humanity", which is 30 years. But that is intended for war crimes and such. Breivik will probably be sentenced for terrorism, which is 21 years + possibly extended custody...

Thank you all for your support. It is a horrible situation. Norway is a small country. A lot of people had friends or family that were on Utøya, or in the government building during the attacks. And I think almost everyone know someone who have familiy and friends amongst the victims and/or the...

I can see that a lot of people are jumping in their chairs when they see that our maximum penalty is 21 years. This is one of the things that make Norway Norway. We don't necessarily see it as a punishment, but as a rehabilitation. The prison conditions are the best in the world, and the...

Which rider started the final attack that eventually made Boonen win P-R 2009? Well, it was Hushovd. He could have won that year if he hadn't crashed.

Norwegian TV sends the whole race in replay now. It was scheduled before Hushovd won so that's not the reason. ;) So it's not just Belgium.
