May be we could say that something is more going on with Tadej (like some animals are more equal than others)? I think your choice of Plateau de Beille is a good one, it gives an idea of the proportions. I am not a doctor but I know anti-doping authorities have frequently been fooled, and we...

I had this Bowie song stuck in my head while I was watching the race: “Always crashing in the same car.” I don't often get the chance to watch races live, and I feel like I'm always watching the same race. During the race, I cleaned the bathroom from top to bottom and focused on the battle for...

Jonas: bad "preparation"? Remco: not on the same stuff as Tadej? The discussion is somewhat vain, as the two sides will never reach an agreement. For some, it is obvious that something is going on, while others demand proof. I have no proof, but it is glaringly obvious to me: the UAE, and Tadej...

Doping or not, let's not forget Pogacar is way ahead of the others. Even unbeatable at the moment. It's only natural that he's the one we talk about.

Pogacar winning doesn't mean Remco and Jonas are clean either.

Did he really say it like that?

Everybody waiting for the Chosen One who will bring balance to the Force.

I think Romain Bardet is in :hearteyecat:

There are always at least psychological potholes.

'45 million French people watched the Tour this year (70% of the population over the age of 4)'. Put like that, it's pretty frightening (you imagine a country completely at a standstill, trains stuck in the middle of nowhere, empty supermarkets, parents neglecting their children, who themselves...

I finally got to watch a replay of yesterday's race. Well, everything is fine.

A poll isn't theory, it's data. I find cycling quite popular in France these days, but I can't tell if it is thanks to Pogacar. Even my (quite old) mother went back to watching it (she got rid of it when her children finally left home). She said she really liked the Tour de Suisse. Sceneries, I...

I find it interesting that the segregation between clinic and non clinic conversations in forums exactly mirrors the omerta rule of the cycling world. Does anyone know when this segregation began and what was the reason for it?

A survey was conducted in France last year, just after Il Lombardia, on Pogacar's image. Of course, it was only a small survey, conducted at a time that undoubtedly corresponded to a peak in the battle between the pro- and anti-Pogacar camps. The poll revealed that if 75% of cycling fans (who...

I must say I find the UAE jersey decent from a distance. From a distance, you know it's a RBH rider only because at first you can't tell his team. Absolutely no charisma.
