    Will Contador Be Juiced Up Again Upon His Return

    What is more disgusting than an unrepentant doper ? An arrogant unrepentant doper, which seems the case with Contador of 2014. In fact the whole Tinkoff-Saxo team is disgusting, with a caught doper few months ago, an arrogant ex doper as DS and a russian tycoon clown as the owner.

    Teams & Riders Froome Talk Only

    From http://www.ridemedia.com.au/past-issue/lance-vs-cadel-a-study-of-two-22-year-olds/ Based only on eye judgement, if 22-23y Froome was >80 , the 2013 TdF Froome with a weight -5 to -8 kg (only looking at pictures) could indeed score one of the highest VO2 max ever read. P.S. i still think...

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    So you are saying that french riders are cleaner than the rest because the nat anti doping agency forces them to be? And ASO picked a british rider because better chances not being caught, even if it's less money for them?

    E3 Harelbeke, 28 March, 2014 (1.WT)

    2014 Volta a Catalunya, Stage 5: Llanars Vall de Camprodon → Valls (218 Km)

    Poor TV coverage, weather, etc. Would have been a great race if raced in June-July and broadcasted by someone with relatively newer TV equipment. Feels like i'm watching 1995 racing.

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    Why ASO didn't picked a french TdF winner ? I think their income would have gone sky high with a frenchman winning.

    Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali 2014 (2.1)

    Yes it does look that way, WT teams already on Vuelta + classic races so here it should be a 3rd team, not to unfair if you look at it this way. Seems more a matter of luck + sending some 1st line guys (Kiri, Kennaugh and Cataldo) to this race instead of Catalunya.
