    Australian Crime Commission investigation finds widespread doping

    Like other people have mentioned here, i'm not suprised about this as a nation of sport, Aus will always have people who will try to get the advantage by use of drugs especially in the sports mentioned......but i'm just glad that someone finally are paying as much attention to other sports than...

    Cav and Cipo comparison

    As so many others here i don't think we can compare the two and the fact that Cav won the Green Jersey in the Tdf, does not make him greater or better. In the Cipo era, there were less control in the races, no radio controls and few teams organised for pure sprinters. Today you have several...

    Millar and the Olympics

    Over the last couple of days there have been a few articles about whether or not Miller should be allowed to ride the Olympics. I'm not British, so i'm not bothered from a national point of view, but i don't understand why he can be allowed to race all the UCI races and the worlds (representing...

    Leaving the Grand Tours early

    I kind of agree with all the comments about there not be much to race for for the sprinters, but what about good old fashion PRIDE in being though enough to finish the race! Like i said, you might have some sprinters that are just below Cav et al's level, but can make it to the finish and...

    Leaving the Grand Tours early

    Hi All, Following the reports that it was planned that Cav was going to leave the Giro after stage 12, i was thinking about the whole "leaving the tour on a certain stage" idea and philosophy! Part of me is for it, and part of me is against it. I think it is best for some teams that don't...

    Radios - Safety or Control of your riders?

    I just read the article in the link. Sounds like there are some spindoctors at play here......so now cycling become like politics!!..... And this quote strikes me as odd: The President of the CPA Gianni Bugno joins the claim of the competitors, adding that before each race he will ask the...

    Radios - Safety or Control of your riders?

    I can only agree. Again i quote from Bjarne Riis's book that he was seeing that Contador looked tired and marked on the 1st mountain stage in TDF 2010 and he was screaming at Andy to attack, but Andy made the choice not to attack. And as Riis is saying, that looking back (i know that is always...

    Radios - Safety or Control of your riders?

    I like the idea ingsve suggests as this way this way the directors can't control things. I guess in order to not having the system abused, you will have to monitor what is being said. I think that's what happening in F1?? I just like that the races should be won by the team or individual...

    Radios - Safety or Control of your riders?

    Hi All, I'm new here, so maybe there has been a thread on this before, so excuse me if it repeats something in here. But i have just finished reading Bjarne Riis's book "RIIS" and was at the same time following the protests by the riders in Tour of Qatar about the radio issue and it struck...
