Because I've seen the subject raised several times here, with some people calling for the police to intervene, here is a quick rundown on French legislation. Feel free to add to this if you are more competent than I am. Drug doping: In France, this is treated as drug trafficking. So there's a...

The fact is none of these theories explain what he does with his nostrils every time he attacks.

'I think tomorrow is gonna be the same story, just try to follow as long as possible and probably limit the time loss.' What an exciting programme!

The way Bardet was looking for him in the bunch while being caught up (I wondered: what is he doing? who is he looking for? he has no teammate in this bunch)... It was absolutely planned. That's also cycling.

Bardet giving Remco his bottle today. Bardet standing with Remco after his crash yesterday. Bardet pulling Remco with what he had left in the legs in col de la Couillole in last TDF. Bardet watering Remco like a green plant in the Vuelta 2023 14th stage... Not only will Remco miss two teammates...

I propose that from now on cycling should stay away from Combloux. There are always problems there.

Commentator on French TV today: 'It seems easy for him at first glance, but if you look closely, you'll see that his belly moves a lot when he breathes, that indicates he's making a real effort.' Why?

Watching cycling these days, I say almost as many swear words in front of the screen as I do at my job :D

Remco still hiding amongst the yellow bees neither seen nor known.

I'm not at all sure that this profit offsets the expenses. And you absolutely can't compare Paris, which is in any case overwelmed by tourists, with, let's say... Combloux.

Or to the towns or villages which spend a lot of money to host a tour stage, hoping for some touristic benefits? Or to French people whose taxes are also used to maintain the roads that cyclists use? I don't know how it should work, I am not an economist. But I fear Plugge's project is not a...

For example, as he's the boss, I blame him for the way the team handled its image after Vingegaard's interview about CO rebreathing in the newspaper Le Monde. Honesty: contacting Le Monde to obtain a right of reply (which Le Monde would have given them if they thought they were in the wrong -...

I don't think cycling not being like every other major sport is an issue. Other major sports have their own problems. I am sure Plugge's idea have consequences that go beyond simple financial balance. I believe in people gathering for free along the roads. And I am not sure Plugge shares this...

Since everything about Plugge cries intellectual dishonesty. It's not about not liking his beige trousers.

Unlike other sports, cycling teams literally carry the names of their main sponsors. Every time a cycling team is mentioned, it's direct advertising for the sponsors. So let's look at this the other way round. It's not the team that loses money, but the sponsors who pay to appear for hours on...
