    Mayo as well. https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/matxin-denies-communication-of-mayos-giro-test-results/ For some reason he does not have his own page on Dopeology as far as I can tell.

    Wout van Aert

    His time on the climb is very impressive either way. Also the fact that he beat Carapaz on the climb. Giro winner and climber, who would have been even more fresh for the climb than Van Aert. Since he spared himself just for that.

    Bjarne Riis, saved by silence?

    Re: Re: I agree with most of your post, but not the bolded. Tinkov is many things, but a bad businessman is not one of them.
