good chance Evans steals more Anglophones. One of Vande Velde, Hesjedal, Danielson and MArtin.

Richie Porte?

Thomas Dekker?

Peter Velits?

Tony Martin?

Jelle Vanendert?

Nicholas Roche?

Someone inherits the team in 2013 so good for a 26ish rider.

Assuming that Och, Rihs don't get arrested first.

And remember the race is never over until all the dope tests are in, your local federation gives you a light ban, you appeal, get cleared, then the UCI appeal, and it goes to CAS and then you get your lawyers to delay the hearing for you to have a shot at the next years event.

Yeah, I would really want Ritchie Porte on my team next year. Totally invisible when it mattered then comes out with a top 5 ITT. :rolleyes: Good program.

You're obviously a live ticker man. Portes job was on the flats at the start of each stage. He rode a mammoth d'Huez. You can tell he's going to win the Tour one day. I hope he stays under Riis. The kid is super smart. If Shleck had the work ethic of Porte he would have won by a country mile.

Is this - "So which dopers is Evans gonna have with him on BMC next year?" a trick question?

Surely since everyone who throws their leg over a bike is a known doper (look at their heads) then anyone he hires will be a doper.

What prize do I win.

He already has his Anglo (semi) in TJVG.

That could be very easily misinterpreted unless you mean it to have a double meaning.

He's already got the golden boy Phinney on his team, so that's one massive charger and his parents down.

Although I think Cuddles prefers his gimps to be German/Swiss/Italian, cheaper and much less likely to break omerta.

Oh yeah, just what was going on in DL when he was getting dropped by Wiggums?

Sour grapes

The only performance that screamed doper this year was AS rode off from the entire Peloton. His bro FS paid Fuente for "special training". You're really in lala land.

Is the "just look at their heads" model not a good one?

Actually watched every stage, don't remember one time Porte was mentioned being seen on the road. And the only reason I mention Porte was early on PL kept saying the he would be ACs lieutenant on the climbs, and I never saw him do that.

Can someone tell me the point of this trollish thread?

It seems that the thread maker is just someone who has a personal vendetta against Evans and wants to bring him down.

ACF I think it's just a new take on an old idea. It would be unbecoming to start an "Evens and doping" thread as per TV et al, a tour champion deserves his own hypothetical doper-domestique thread. :confused:

You refer to the performance where the entire peloton let him get away, and one man brought him most of the way back? And that screamed doper at whom exactly?

And, his brother made a payment to Fuentes several years ago therefore... is old, tired, and weak. Welcome to The Clinic. A higher standard of trolling and baiting is expected herein. :p

June-Evans was climbing like Pantani -98 compared to Sanchez, Basso and the Schleck bros.

Indeed, funny how so many people lost their legs in June and regained them in July. Basso is the only one with a plausible excuse (the Etna crash).

As for which dopers Cuddles is going to sign up - I think his first major signing will be a new supplier what with Sven S getting busted.

Is there any dirt on Phinney? The only slightly plausible link I could think of would be that he rode for the Trek-Livestrong U/23 team before he turned pro, but that's about it.

Well, they already have Ballan, Hincapie and Santambrogio. So my guess would be Cunego, Valverde, Ricardo Ricco, Basso, Jan Ullrich, Lance Armstrong, Johan Bruyneel and Bjarne Riis.
