You can gain any chunk of time anywhere with an e-bike. What narrative does that spoil?

This was where they jumped the shark. Froome fans must be loving it.
Still stand by thisLaFlorecita said:IF he wins the Giro, he won't get banned. I think.
And IF he wins the Giro, he also wins the Tour.
Eddy is trembling.
Morzine wasn't this bad. At least Floyd wasn't the only one on long distance raids, there was a break up the road, and above all, he didn't have the hide to do it under investigation. This is sheer hubris now.Stingray34 said:Echoes of a certain rider on a stage to Morzine in 2006.
Mockery. Sheer shameless mockery.
If the UCI chooses to enable this kind of piss-taking, I'm done with this ridiculous freak show of a sport.

Today I did 300 watts average for 6 hours to finish 45 minutes behind the winner.

buckle said:Cycling can't cope with another ban. Froome is the new normal. His failure to win SPOTY in the UK and public sneering at cycling as a sport in general is about as successful as anti-doping gets.
Depressing I know but if you want morality, join the Benedictines.
