Netserk said:Ryo certainly has a lot of knowledge, but he does seem full of BS regarding clinic matters.
I could, but I won't. He deserves every day of his ban.Zam_Olyas said:Can you release Ryo ?
Cyivel said:Raises suspicion sure, I didn't expect it and didn't see too many (if any) others expecting it either, but there is a difference between this and a flat TT and as others have said if he does it on one of those then well....
Libertine Seguros said:WELEASE WYO!
But what has he done?
He's a wobber! And a wapist!

Shardi said:Quintana seemed to gain more time on Porte on the flats than on the hills tbh...
Significant performance indeed..
Libertine Seguros said:Whatever credibility Ryo had left when talking about doping went out the window when he backed Ivaïlo Gabrovski and insisted that everybody else just didn't watch enough Eastern European racing to know this great champion. I think as far as Ryo is concerned nobody dopes except Óscar Sevilla.
The Hitch said:Ryo specifically said Quintana was one of.the riders he knew 100% would never dope.
Then again he counts rujano as being one of those riders.
Winterfold said:Neither Quintana or Henao are sticky little weaklings and both look like they should have a decent tt in them especially on sporting courses.
Betancur feels "at home" with the Italian riders in a French team because he is based in Italy when he is not back home in Colombia and his coach is none other than Liege-Bastogne-Liege (and Classics) specialist, Michele Bartoli.
"It was my old Aqua & Sapone manager Franco Ghini who put us in touch," explained Betancur, "Franco asked Michele if he would be interested in coaching me just over a year ago and he has made a huge difference to my training - he's my secret weapon! Before I was riding for hours and hours and not thinking too much about it, now my training is very specific, much more focused and he seems to know what I need to progress."
"I think the anti-doping is better and also, especially, the biological passport has made a big difference." .
