    Re: Re: What on earth is wrong with these guys on moto's? Riders with rim brakes, on carbon wheels can manage to stop in time, and this bozo on his moto, with disc-brakes and well behind the action manages to NOT stop, taking out Viviani in the process - good on the Trek rider for voicing...

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    Re: Re: How about http://cyclingtips.com.au/2013/04/oxygen-in-a-pill-the-next-big-thing-in-sports-doping/ The timeline of the development fits quite nicely with the 2011 Vuelta "miracle", and the "Kenyan vampire worms" story makes it pretty easy to account for fluctuations in Hb, HCT, etc...

    One Borg cooked.... Brambilla is having a good argument with the Commissaire, now back at his car arguing with his team..... He looks close to tears, guess he has been told he is DQ'd.

    Stage 16, San Martín del Rey Aurelio - La Farrapona, Lagos de Somiedo
