Amazing 13k uphill sprint! Wish I could find footage of that second one (2003 Euskal Bizikleta, stage 4b?)

Just noticed I have that in my medicine cabinet. Sterile saline solution to clean the nose. Nice hiding spot if you need to drop hematocrit with a point, would take a horse syringe to get it in though.

In stage 13 he was fined 200CHF for waste disposal outside the waste areas. After that stage the fine went up to 500CHF for a few stages. There were 29 littering fines, so this was strictly enforced by the jury. With that in mind handing bottles back isn't much of an indicator anymore, but hey...

Indeed, Lance is not on the list.

Lance is not on the Prohibited Association List.

Re: Re: Sky can win this tour by pulling Geraint Thomas to Paris on a throne. (I could be wrong, but Geraint Thomas doesn't strike me as a rider who is best served by cutthroat racing between the Alps and the start of week 3.) So, that's what they did yesterday, illustrated by Sky making...

Re: Re: Plausible, anyway, even if he went clean after 2011, I don't see where he has been coasting on doped results or pulled a Wiggins.

Re: Evans!? Anything post 2011 is probably just age. What years do you have him doping?

Re: Re: Who in the peleton would sign up for this without batting an eye, Laurens ten Dam and Mark Cavendish maybe?

Re: Nice eavesdropping by the motards, according to Wout Poels the Spanish.

Re: Re: For that effect they should put Lance on the Prohibited Association List I think.

Maybe he should give Matt Hayman a call and quizz him on getting enough training effort done on a stationary bike instead of riding cobbles against doctor's orders.

I have this romantic idea that the reign of Jean-François Pescheux is over and Thierry Gouvenou is the current race designer. Feel free to burst my bubble, I'll just blow it up again. The winner / his team had to be able to: - finish uphill, check - finish downhill, check - TT for about an...

Oh, I can see how a true nit could give him a 50 CHF fine here.

Re: Re: Not much they can do, there is no 4th reference rider from that group that was not held up by that moto crash. He is the reference. At best Froome & Porte wil thank him for setting an OK time for them.
