    Clenbugate: what's with the plastic?

    Can someone update me on why are we no longer hearing about the plastic markers in Contaddor's blood samples? Is it a contributing factor? has been ruled out as "normal" (man, in what world are we?) Was it forgotten altogether? Any opinion? tkx.

    Grippy winter training tires? 700 x 23 only!

    Grippy? I have a pair of 25mm Zaffiro that I use for training and I like them, but now way are they enough for winter, unless you only ride on clean roads. i ride in Montreal, and only ride to get to work in the winter, no bike training. This bike is a modified hybrid bike with 700cc wheels...

    ProTour to Monteal and Quebec city

    So? Anybody in North-Eastern America and Canada excited about next year's race? Quebec City race will be held in a really nice historical part around the citadelle, with lots of good climbing in the steep streets for excellent views... Montreal's loop is quite similar to the World's race...

    Dekker's B-sample also positive, admits to doping

    My Bikes

    Old Carbon frame I find it amazing to read on the same thread page that one guy had to get rid of a bike because it developped cracks on the carbon seatstays, yet this 1992 lugged first edition carbon tube hold on fine. I loved those Specialized bikes, including their mtb incarnation...

    Puerto & Valverde

    CONI Power? Well, here we go. CONI requests 2 years against Valverde. DNA does not lie. It did not for americans (Hamilton), german (Ullrich) and will not for Spanish either. Face it. The guy is a super rider; on paper he's like early Lance Armstrong. A very good bully able to win sprints...
