    I supported Lance Armstrong until...

    True they don't disclose the fee, but if they raised $6 m on armstrong's name then without armstrong there would be no $6m for cancer issues Admit that it does kind of smell given what we know about him now, but it's all money for cancer in the end

    LeMond's letter to McQuaid

    Don't think Pat will be inviting Greg round to dinner anytime soon, and vice-virsa But love what Le Mond said - UCI just let doping fly under the radar, had testing that only idiots would fail. Sadly, it's not the UCI to brought doping to a head, but USADA. UCI would've just sat on their...

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    Maybe it's the cynic in me but reckon it's got a little bit to do with not helping Froome. Bit of tension between those two this year at the TdF, & given the course will be hillier next year than this year it's likely Sky may make Froome Team Leader. Although Froome helped (massively) Wiggins...

    Cadel Evans is a Clean Champion

    With Cadel meeting Ferrari but then leaving after one met, is that like smoking but never inhaling? This thread will never have an end - Cadel seems very honest, much more than most, but we can never be sure about any cyclist because the sport is saturated with doping.

    Cadel Evans is a Clean Champion

    Tyler also said that Evans is clean and that's his reputation amongst the peloton. Never said there were no clean riders in the TdF over the last two decades. But to get somewhere in the mid-late 1990s and early 2000s, well ... For Evans, unfortunately, however, we'll never be sure. Most...

    Cadel Evans is a Clean Champion

    not sure what you mean by Hamilton lying, my point is that if he has never seen Evans dope then he's not going to say he's a doper, why would he? He's never trained with Evans. If he goes on to say that he doesn't know, then he's suggesting Evans is a doper. All he's saying is that he...

    Cadel Evans is a Clean Champion

    Really, who knows if Evans is clean or not? Have lost count of the amount of riders, and athletes generally, who say they're innocent & then get done for doping Evans is one of the most naturally gifted cyclists riding today, he can also suffer, and there hasn't been linked to doping like...

    How good BMC/Evans. The perfect Tour?

    BMC mightn't have been the strongest team, but they've been the tightest & strongest that Evans has ever had. They came second in the TT and protected him on the flats, and he genuinely seemed to get on well with them. Evans was pretty much on his own during the toughest hill climbs, but it...

    The Tomo and Tan depreciation thread

    SBS & Tomo have been awesome SBS has been covering the Tour since 1991, long before McEwan come to prominence and Evans was even in the picture, & b4 cycling was popular in this country. In fact, Evans first watched the tour on SBS in 1991 (Indurain), and credits that with his inspiration...

    Menchov could of beaten Cadel in this year's tour if he was invited.

    What if Rasmussen was kicked out of the 2007 tour b4 dragging contador up the mountains rather than after, would that have left contador riding with the peloton and not gaining much time on evans b4 the TT? What if eddie mercx was cycling now instead of the 1960s/1970s? What if you knew what...
