Re: Re:
Given there is *** all the authorities can do, Hinault's call to the riders to man the barricades makes perfect sense. Of course we all know it's not going to happen, you only have to look at the manner in which the Dutch riders have just walked away from the CPA to see there is no unity within the peloton, just the occasional bit of commonality in self interest. But it's still a good call. Reminds the riders that they need to look out for themselves.
Attack ASO for what? ASO can do *** all. The UCI? There was the possibility they had a rule which might have allowed them to ban Froome, but any normal thinking person would bet that CAS would argue the opposite, saying that a Salbutamol AAF doesn't warrant a provisional suspension.spalco said:Unchained said:This is where Hinault is wrong imo btw, why does he put the burden of policing the sport on the riders instead of UCI and race organisers? With the pull he supposedly has, why doesn't he attack the ASO instead of making meaningless appeals for insurrection to the peloton?
