Do we have clinic threads for Ineos, Wiggins, Froome and Thomas, but not for the latest champ, Colombian Bernal?
It seems cyclingnews do consider Colombians to be clean (either that or some of the most rabid posters have an agenda against a certain country
)
At some point I'd love to understand what drives the sense of persecution by so many brits on this forum. Maybe just consider the differences in the relative performances of Froome and Wiggins, and their backgrounds in comparison to Bernal. Not going to rehash it all, but this is a young guy, who didn't win a stage, who didn't dominate, who did well in the terrain you'd expect him to, with nary an alien looking performance the entire time.
Is he clean? I'd be somewhat surprised if he were, but his performances and background, in STARK contrast to that of Froome and Wiggins, don't set off any major alarm bells.
You get that this is the difference, not some nationalistic conspiracy theory, right? That if anything, folks on this english-speaking board are more inclined to root for brits, right?
If you think there's a question, start a Bernal thread.
