Cavendish still doping strong.
I doubt he would need to charge for the Tour of California, it's little more than a mid-reason training camp.
to be there in that shape you have to be well-prepared.
i didn't say he's doping
specifically for the ToC.
Generally we see less and less of the kind of 'targeted' doping of the past. These days if you want to peak in the TdF, you have to start your program early in the season.
So if he's targeting the TdF, imo he should already be juicing in training now.
btw, for the likes of Sagan this certainly isn't just a mid-season training camp. The pressure is on.
And I don't think Cav considers it to be just training either. It's California. It's prestige. It's exposure, etc.
