Notice Lampre being up there, finishing with the diesel engines Cimolai, Cunego, Serpa, Niemec in addition to Malori. Think the latter had a good day?

Maybe the perennial f***-up Cunego could hit top form for once. Or then again maybe not.

The Contador past his prime discussion will not be settled until the Tour anyway. Interesting stage tomorrow, I'd say either a breakaway or a select group of under 10 favourites battling it out. Could see the more punchy guys like Sammy, Cunego and Ulissi sprinting for the win, with Porte and...

For the very few english-only guys: Numbers will be published at 9:30 CET, and they will be anonymous (I guess that will mean that the skiers will be called skier #1, #2 and so on).

I agree that the most likely scenario here is that Sky is doping, but I would really like to know what people think about certain riders that hasn't really had that meteoric rise. I'm a norwegian, so obviously I find it difficult to see EBH as a doper, especially since he has always shown...

Vai Damiano!

If really, really hope that there are journalists who right now are undercover, following Barca and Real. I'm not saying they are doping, but there certainly are enough things pointing at them for journalists to take a look.

I think I'd vote for Francesco Conconi, who first made a name "preparing" Francesco Moser to the hour record in 84: Was hired by IOC in 1990 to make a fool-proof drug test for EPO, invested that money in the research necessary to make a fool-proof EPO mixture, and then made a fortune making sure...

Yes and yes! The opportunities are endless, I couldn't think of better news right now.

I would just like to post some things Mads Kaggestad, who was a domestique at Credit Agricole for 5 years I think, said in a debate around doping on our national channel today. Mads is also a journalist, son of a very popular TV-commentator who has an extreme stance against doping (could it be...

Nah, I was just trying to point out that norwegians have a tendency to suspect people they don't like. I think neither doped, but I DO think that if one of them did, then yes it is more plausible that the other gold medal winners did take something themselves. Us being competitive in this era is...

Yeah, but it all goes to show that the norwegian press is really powerful. If he was doped, then Bjoern Daehli, basicly the biggest norwegian hero ever (he is on the level of war heroes and Fridtjof Nansen), was probably also doped. However, like Kjaergaard, Koss just doesn't have the same...

Had to read through this thread, as I'm a norwegian and obviously have a big interest in this. I think most of you have the right picture of Kjaergaard, but to sum it up: he has never been liked by anyone. I'm more on the "meh"-side, as I don't really care, but seeing how he won gold and a...

Contador shows how a champion wins races. Supreme tactics today when he clearly had his best day so far in the vuelta, completely cracking J-Rod who has been slightly better for the past days. Obviously anything could happen in the last k's, but this looks good for Contador :)

I didn't really know where to put this, but Eddy said that he could contend for the Tour in the future. http://www.tv2.no/sport/sykkel/tdf/boasson-hagen-tror-han-kan-kjempe-om-tour-de-franceseier-3838969.html For the few that don't understand norwegian, I can say that he admits that he...
