Laigueglia graded 1.HC now, which I like. We won´t get to see Sinkewitz, which I don´t like!! :mad:

Exactly. If Levarlet really was drunk, it´ll be even harder for him to manage to live with it. De Fauw, as I mentioned, and Claveyrolat are just two examples from the cycling world who come to my mind now. There will be few more in cycling, and many cases in normal life. Levarlet is 27 or...

Coyot´s death is terrible news. Concerning Levarlet, now it´s a question of how he is able to deal with it. This accident obviously has killed Coyot, and will be such an enormous, life-long burden for Levarlet, so that prayers should go out for both of them. May Coyot RIP, and Levarlet...

It´s not too bad, first stage as a sprint royal... I prefer this to a hundredth prologue won by Cancellara (I know he is not in the race this year).

Can´t imagine that Lang was on CERA in 2008´s Tour. They tested Schumi and Kohl positive, so they would also have caught Lang (I know that many more than Schumi, Kohl and Ricco have been positive, but these three were the only ones that have been declared positve in public). Lang certainly...

100% agree. When I heard few weeks ago that Kopp would join the trial in Stuttgart, I already had this strong feeling he would be an important support for Schumacher. And good to see Kopp himself apparently is doing well, and didn´t follow VDB´s or others´s path. Great person and...

More important, Capecchi still hasn´t made the next career step at Movistar yet - I expected him to do better, actually, but OK, he has still time.

I hope for Voeckler. This is the 10th TdF (if he did them all) since his epic 2004 Tour. Classy, classy rider, would be great to see him in Polka Dots in Paris. I admit he´s not favourite Nr 1, though.

http://www.t-online.de No confession to EPO. Only to having taken his own blood (blood bags)...

Jan Ullrich confessed to blood doping and claims to only have blood doped, having taken nothing else.

AGAIN no Paul Martens... :confused: Same procedure as every year...

That´s going to be interesting... I see clear parallels to spring 2013: Sky´s top classics riders chose to skip Paris-Nice and Tirreno in order to train in altitude, as the only serious contenders choosing this approach. Now Quintana is the only of the estimated Tour contenders who chose...

He still could become pro, and has a nice 2013. BMC signed Zahner, IAM signed e.g. Reichenbach, and Saggiorato is at their level. I think he could join IAM for 2014.

Brownie certainly will get a new contract... As far as I know, he always gets one year contracts, and finally always stays. They complained about him and wanted to get rid of him a thousand times, but in the end, he always survived. :D

Gesink is still only 26 or 27. GT peak age is 28 to 33. circa. I won´t name Pereiro, because 2006 was so special, but Sastre and Evans left deep impressions in me: it showed that you can be written off for years, but if ONE year everything fits, also these riders can win a TdF. That´s also...
