The UCI needs to look to its roots and expel the dirty Brits as it did when founded in 1900

Re: Re: But what if Froome is using the mic to ask the team car to activate the remote control ;)

I understand your point Spalco, but the somewhat scoffing question asked was whether Peugeot had ever come close to sweeping the podium. They did, several times. It's way they are by some distance the best team ever You could also have added that, in 1986, La Vie Claire were the best team...

Re: Re: Let's see: Peugeot riders won every Your between 1905-1908 while also winning every Classic in sight. And I won't need to tell such a student of the sport as yourself about the primitive roads and equipment. length of stages etc etc. As to your question 'were they ever - on all that...

Re: Actually none of this is unprecedented - the Jersey has been held start to finish by the same team a number of times, most recently by Merckx's Faemino–Faema team in 1970. And for a truly dominant team take a look at Peugeot. There is nothing new in cycling and it's a fair bet that...

Just think, according to Fred Grappe just adding bumps to your jersey sleeves is more effective than doing EPO ;)

Froome less of a human X-ray than usual, sporting that cortico-chubster look

I know one shouldn't look at Froome and raise an eyebrow at his lack of performances this season after the travails of Sky, but it's very difficult not to want to join the dots

Re: Re: Be interesting to see what Birnie has to say about Wiggins 'illness' and why Sky just didn't claim there was a huge mix up and the package was for Uran all along ;)

You do know, just because some women haven't experienced sexism in an organisation, doesn't mean systematic sexism doesn't exist?

Wonder what happened about the kit being resold out of Sutton's flat? The man has form for that sort of thing - ask Welsh Cycling

The University of Brighton has a top notch sports science facility based in Eastbourne - they're heavily into genetic research. Be funny if Cope was on another courier run from there to Manchester...

Oh, I agree, and they're still clearly uncomfortable having to do the job at all. But I applaud the controlled and methodical way in which she presented her evidence, which gave her revelations much more impact, especially after the Cope car crash. And there's no way you'd fo from Eastbourne to...

Re: Sky The large stocks of Kenalog, plus Leinders expertise with it as part of the doping regime at Rabobank, suggest that the doping goes wider than 'one bad apple'. And the fact it was held at the Manchester velodrome, HQ of BC, says it may well go beyond Sky. Sapstead was clear in her...
