Ireland make the playoffs, Scotland can still qualify automatically if Denmark manage to 'Mads Pedersen' it on the big stage; Also things have gone from bad to worse for our friend Ronnie this week, Portugal might be in with a crack if they leave him in the desert.

I was just being ironic, a great many riders banned/linked with doping do tend to become cult heroes in the clinic for various reasons. As an aside, having read through a lot of old passport cases, I do think he has a reasonable chance of getting away with it, with the right legal counsel...

Didn't see this, maybe if I was a bit younger, I took a pay cut so I could carry on working from home and watch cycling without being bothered. Try checking out the Ljubljana Sports Therapy scene, that seems to be where all the action is at the moment. I think Rob is close to retirement...

This could be the end for Froomey. Come on Chris, just one more season, we never did get to see the fruits of those famous sensations because of all the unfortunate setbacks.

He dropped everyone on Carrefour in 2016 and came out of it alone, which would usually be the winning move. Unfortunately when most groups would save some energy and look around a bit, the guys behind happened to cobble together the strongest 3 man team pursuit outfit imaginable there and then...

Recently, Vanmarcke, unfortunately there is no justice in this cruel world.

Hincape must've been watching that Alula Tour stage where De Bod for Terengganu solo-bridged to an echelon of like 40 elite guys, crazy behaviour. I can't find the footage, could be lost forever, I know it happened though.

Evenepoel at San Remco with 0 GTs in the legs against a 40 year old Pello Bilbao and a dumbfounded Jan Cristen is going to hit like crack.

They should retire Passo GIau in honor of Ben Swift's legendary ride over it in 2023, what tension, what drama!

UCI intern finally getting round to sorting through a stack of old papers https://www.uci.org/pressrelease/uci-statement-on-antonio-carvalho-ferreira/3bUpaa34OSANHkqNztgPM8 Unexplained abnormalities in... 2018

Yeah he posted a lot on forodeciclismo about doping way back, sorry to uncle if I'm doxxing, I just assume its common knowledge but it's definitely him, exactly the same style.

Yeah I think that this is coming from Arribas in particular at least confirms what the Abarca line of attack is going to be. Whether it is going to work is a different story. Another issue that concerns me is the fact that the writer waited until the coast was clear to report on it, he is no...

The cynic in me thinks it dries up in a few days regardless of what is said, short of them blowing open a criminal underworld. All that matters now is what team is front and centre when you google “Lazkano doping” 5 years down the line. Not hapless old Eusebio, the kindly Spanish uncle who just...
