    Rate Paris-Roubaix 2016

    10 for me. Best race I've ever seen. Super happy for Hayman. I'd picked Boonen. He'd already forewarned the others hadn't he? 'Big balls' Would have been happy for him if he'd won, but Hayman taking it really was perfect in hindsight. What a story. He'll look back on this and I think his trophy...

    Doping In Athletics

    IAAF lost its way a loooong time ago. When it bought in with the sponsors that the paying audiences saw the premium product as world record producing races and events.

    Doping In Athletics

    Re: Nick Willis - its easy to spot the cheats!! watch that final on youtube. Compare Willis at the finish line to the dude crossing the line first. And it was hardly an eyebrow raising time, or even the finishing splits. (disclaimer, yes I'm kiwi. No I certainly don't buy into the kiwis...

    Mo Thread

    Re: Yeh I could buy into some of his major wins. Especially when the field would just play into his hands they way the race would unfold. But that 3.28 was pretty ridiculous. Alarm bells ringing loudly after that one.

    The 9/7 Gene

    IMHO 2009 TdF 2009 was worth double points for sticking it to LA. Then deduct half a point for the silly pistol thing.

    George Bennett allergy/asthma medication.

    I can go with his rant about the unfairness of his situation. But his brief acknowledgement to the history of the sport (you really mean current day too) as to why people would ask questions about him, then to go off firing shots against fans a'la Wiggins 'you're all bone idle wkrs', is not...

    Fabio Aru 6.5w/kg

    If Aru goes ballistic on the road, will Henderson undelete those tweets and then go for the ultimate twitter faux pas and retweet himself?

    Richie Porte meme: "We were the first ones to do it..."

    As much as I wasn't looking forward to a possible Porte win, this is just silly. Dodgy TUE to go win Romandie last year for Team Sky, no problems. Get a wheel from another team, pinged for 2 minutes. Way to go pro cycling.

    Richie Porte meme: "We were the first ones to do it..."

    -we were the first WT team to see the potential in JTL (if only he'd got the team memo about cutting back on the booze </sigh>) -we were the first team to have a rainbow jersey wearing waterboy domestique

    General Doping Thread.

    seems to keep digging himself into a hole trying to play catch up so maybe just a natural response. Be interested to hear what else comes out of this. But yeh, doubt Hendo will be saying much on this. Wonder if Hendo is getting a good reception in Italy atm?

    Australian Study reveals Doping doesnt work

    It's an awesome paper, but I thought most trolls inhabited social media on the interweb. This might be the beginning of a new phase. Expect the next paper from this guy to be something along the lines of polling samples of people on whether the horizon looks flat or curved to them and then...

    Fabio Aru 6.5w/kg

    Why is it always teams and not riders 'programs'

    Not sure if it's this episode? (I haven't listened to this one) http://competitorradio.competitor.com/2006/11/74dr-mac-larsen/ I've been told there is an episode in this series where someone talks about self blood doping and just how easy it was.
