Re: Of course he should focus on the tour. It's the biggest race and he's still a good enough rider to have a chance to win it again!

I think he should focus on recovery. If he gets a bit better maybe he can go for stage wins, if he doesn't he should just quit and aim for the Vuelta. I really don't think he can match Froome and Quintana like this.

Re: Re: Okay, thanks!

The black thing under his yellow shirt, is it some kind of shoulder protector or what is it?

The diehard is riding anyway! http://nos.nl/artikel/2107742-aangeslagen-kruijswijk-toch-van-start-in-giro.html Although seeing the previous video link I don't think we can expect much from him :( But it's cool that he's going to try.

From http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/circ-suggests-that-doping-has-gone-underground-with-micro-dosing-and-tue-abuse Team Sky, we knew it all along! One doctor stated that it was impossible to lose the weight that some riders achieve without assistance, and that the TUE is taken advantage...

He also talks about a motor inside of the bicycle, I thought it was just an urban legend? Would this be used a lot? I don't speak Italian so I used a translator: What is the history of the bike with the engine? È possibile? Is it possible? "Certo che lo ritengo possibile". "Of course I...

So I hear these rumours about the peloton being cleaner these days, hard to believe of course. And yet, Bauke Mollema and Laurens ten Dam are ranked #3 and #4 and Dan Martin is ranked #8 currently. Did they suddenly open the forbidden jar or did everyone just get slower so the clean people can...

To the people who wonder why he would dope because he's riding so badly: that's the whole point in taking dope, to get better :p

There's already a thread about it: http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?t=17897 in before the close :D

from 4+ to 3- mins?

:( dutch tv commentators just said: that's the Armstrong feeling, 4 teammates left in the peloton and 4 other riders trying to hold on for life

Since it wasn't addressed yet and I'm quite curious too I'll repeat the question asked by Ninety5rpm: Are the 1999 (and 2000-2005) samples still available? If so, can USADA obtain them and do relevant retroactive testing on them with modern tests? Why or why not?

Good question, I would like to know this as well. I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere but I'm also sure there are people that know this from the top of their heads. Awesome judge. Funny headlines on that magazine in the context of the current events: "Lance retires. He's done. But is he...
