    Good win for Romeo and for the team on home soil - not sure about the games being played by the bunch ...

    Good news for Trek and Milan that the crash wasn't so bad.

    Is it right that UAE have been training on the climb and the other teams have not? Would explain Del Toro's yoyo-ing a bit.

    When will Red Bull management realize that they wanted to buy a "Froome" but got a "Ganna" instead? Is there a return date clause in the contract? :p

    Doping in other sports?

    When amphetamine is not good enough, why not top up with some methamphetamine? :eek: https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-reports-that-baseball-player-anderson-de-leon-has-been-sanctioned-with-a-5-year-period-of-ineligibility/

    I have a feeling he'll struggle but I think it'll depend on whether other guys work together or not.

    The much needed UCI loller thread

    It sounds like Lappi is channeling his inner Napoleon to take on ASO and the Amaury family. This could easily turn nasty...

    So how do we gauge a good, bad, middling Remco performance? A win? Good. A win by last meters sprint, middling? A win by more then 15 seconds really good? No win, bad? Of course it's only February, but the pressure is all on him.
