Last time I done my wrist playing 5 a side took about 14 days. Strapped up on one of those neoprene things. No idea where it was broken exactly, one of those dull ache cracks when I put pressure on it.

A bit hard not to ride with ex-dopers though still, not as if they're riding a tandem while Levi holds his BB for him.

There is absolutely no need for a rider who claims to take a positive stance against doping to ride with someone like Levi.

Probably the most shocking part of that photo was Dawg was on Levi's wheel! And Levi was riding into the wind!

Unprecedented! :cool:

Talansky connection

Well actually in the last minute of that NBC interview he says he is heading to Napa to do some training with Andrew Talansky.

genius Brailsfraud, afraid of the fragility of his pawns in the wet, began testing new marginal gain - dry racing: introducing "From UK to FR in the dry"

http://velonews.competitor.com/2014/07/news/video-froomes-sea-ride-uk-france_334766

It may even be a breakthrough idea for the new special dry "tunnel only" race - lots of nice italian, swiss or french tunnels (gotthard, mt. blanc, etc), artificial wind can even simulate the uphill, or one can have tunnel-MTF design. No cobbles, and the spectators can watch SKYtrain from the train!

TBF to Nibali, Astana's PR oficer didn't just a few months ago declare he knew Nibali was clean because he didn't hang out with dopers.

That's what makes this so ridiculous. ****ing Walsh getting all giddy with pride that whatshisface tore a picture out of a magazine proving once and for all Sky are clean, and then Froome and Wiggins are defending and hanging out with dopers at every turn.

There is no need for a rider who claims to take a positive stance against doping to ride in the European pro peloton.

Disagre. Completely. If Bassons had not been vilified, he could have remained.

Your attitude smacks of omerta and bullying.

By the same token, if riders can ride for Riis and JV, be managed by White and Stephens etc, etc, then they can friggin train with Levi. As much as it pains me - this is a consistent view.

I say it is extremely stupid of him to ride with Levi....who might even have not stopped doping?....and for a someone who wants to be seen as clean and question asked of him about doping to end it is extremely stupid

Yes, because choosing to ride with a known doper is the same as riding against dopers, whose participation you have no control over.

Sky have a zero tolerance policy on doping.

My take is the picture in question is a fake. No way cycling's Mr. Clean would associate with a convicted doper. No way. Not after what Froome's been through. Arguably with a disease that ravaged his body.

He saw that it was quiet on his thread without tweets. He was perfect under the radar. But then you came, so now for sure he'll tweet something.
