    Doping in XC skiing

    Kikkan really showed here potential last season. Stats: http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/604/613.html?sector=CC&competitorid=49824&type=result&rec_start=0&limit=50 She was the world’s best sprinter, but also performed reasonable in longer races. Remember that each heat in a sprint competition may last...

    2012 Tour de France: Stage 16: Pau → Bagnères-de-Luchon, 197 km

    Troll..... I just don't think the stages that where interesting when the riders for some reason had a better ability to get rid of lactate acid, are the same stages that are going to light up the fireworks today. Remember the alp d'huez stage one year a go? 109K... That was something!

    2012 Tour de France: Stage 16: Pau → Bagnères-de-Luchon, 197 km

    These stages are way too hard/long for doping free cycling to become interesting...

    2012 Giro d'Italia, May 11th, Stage 6: Urbino - Porto Sant'Elpidio 207km

    Basically, that sums it up. Why does so many b*tch about Cæv in this tread? There were a lot of riders/teams who should have taken this opportunity to go for a stage win. Cæv was not one of them. And Garmin... they were in some kind of dilemma? If they had gone to the front and pulled with...

    2012 Giro d'Italia, May 11th, Stage 6: Urbino - Porto Sant'Elpidio 207km

    Well.. that was one boring stage. Would have been a perfect opportunity for Pozzato, Ballan, Flecha, Visconti if they only could have limited the gap i little before the last climbs. BMC, Movistar and Farnese won't get to many chances like today for a stage win.

    2012 Giro d'Italia, May 10th, stage 5: Modena - Fano 209Km

    Both the Olympic course and the WC course suits Thor very well this year, and as always he wants to be good in TdF. Then it goes without saying he cant peak for this Giro when he has already been on top for PR. Personally I would have wanted him to peak at the Giro rather than for the TdF...

    2012 Giro d'Italia, May 7th, stage 3: Horsens → Horsens, 190K

    Cav was actually doing that only seconds before Ferrari did it. He didn't cross as far as Ferrari but still

    Tour de Romandie 2012

    I think it's too much time trailing for Cunego. Kreuziger should be decent. Never underestimate Evens and it certainly would be interesting to see TJVG as a leader after what he showed in LBL. Also, it seems like Iglinskiy is at the start, and with no relay decisive climbs and his form he could...

    Liège - Bastogne - Liège : Sunday April 22th 201é

    Great race by Iglinsky... What a way to win! Also a good performance by Nibali and Rolland. But what’s up with Voeckler sabotaging every attempt to chase in the final. Maybe he had some compassion with the men in front since he’s been in that position so often …

    Giro del Trentino 2012

    Beautiful stage! Way too much motorbikes though. And what was that salute from Pozzovivo when crossing the finish line?
