If a bike "survives" the power of a doped professional rider, then it's durable enough for everyone. An extreme advertising approach... :D I agree with this. Cycling will be more hardcore and "confined".

I tend to agree with BB ... When i confront a situation (e.g. cycling), i begin by considering the current state as the basis. If my starting point is my "personal ideal world" then i'm not going anywhere. I'll be doomed to be a griper and a pessimist. I don't object to doping in...

Don't be hasty! One guy every year... :p

I believe that it's quite "pestiferous" trying to explain professional sports with pure instincts.
