Armstrong had that helper known as Motoman, but it's entirely possible that less wealthy riders had to rely on bike couriers.

I am not sure riders can tell if staff members are on performance enhancing drugs or not. However since Kim Andersen is possibly the one rider that failed the most tests from the start of the 80s to the early 90s, I've always assumed he also used stuff when he became a mail man after his career...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas CQ team selection season, and I am ready to kick things off with the third edtion of this particular game. If you've been a regular in my games it shouldn't come as a surprise that the format have been tweaked slightly. It will now run over 2 seasons...

Don't flatter yourself. There's no way you're taller than him.

I have Aerts, too (his results obviously still has an impact on how many points the rest of our riders score), so it's mainly Van Empel that helps me out at the moment. Chladoňová hasn't raced much either and have not yet done well in one, so the lesson is to stay away from Visma riders.

I believe she's in Spain with SD Worx.

I assume the RB logo means they will be jumping heads first into a fight for team leadership.

If you combine the Czech, Italian and American flags you get the Hungarian one. I think that's what AC meant. I don't see myself winning this, but I have cut almost 500 points of DE's lead since the start of the month so there's still hope.

I'm only surprised they didn't announce the extension the other day, but since the team allegedly never tells him anything it's possible he signed the deal a long time ago without realising it.

The former footballer Luciano/Eriberto proved that it isn't necessarily hard to steal someone's identity. Of course you may have to lie yourself older rather than younger to get the attention of INEOS.

At the World Championships his race was over after 15 seconds of the junior race due to a pile up after the start, so he did make it further on this occasion.

Well held on by Horn. If Jacquelin and Fillon Maillet were allowed to compete as a duo and do one half of the race each they would probably win every time.

Just imagine if they have had this kind of almost unlimited budget for 2021. The bidding war against Adams for Froome's services would have been bonkers.

Third time's the charm and all that, but you almost expect that someone will pip Jeanmonnot once again. However I don't really see anyone having the consistency to do so at the moment.

It depends on the country. It doesn't appear to be too hard to become South Korean or Belgian, for instance. But you may also find that you have to take on a lot more responsibility when you're not part of a bigger team.
