A Limmy reference. How about that!


(You have to reply with "Lollipop Pat", @Tim Cahill )

You know I think I read an article about her a while ago, still apparently lollipop ladying in her 90s!! Some people also saying she died, but I choose to believe the former.

Tier 2? Looks like Mads Pedersen is back on the menu.

I like how we went from "bigger than Contador" to "tier 2 riders", in the end they'll pop some Masters 50 bum and they'll be like "told ya "

What did I write about horse doping and cyclists?
https://granfondodailynews.com/2026...-tests-positive-for-racehorse-drug-boldenone/

Boldenone, a derivative of Testosterone, is a veterinary injectable used primarily to increase weight, improve coat condition and enhance muscle in horses. It has been used illegally in the sport of horse racing. The United States Food and Drug Administration has not approved it for use in humans for any reason and it is banned for use in horses competing in Olympic and Paralympic events.

Several other Boldenone anti-doping cases have surfaced recently, including Saudi Arabian amateur athlete Abdulrahman Alghamdi and 2025 Italian Masters M60-64 National Road Champion Lido Fogli.

SGF 1000 is another that will likely pop up.

Talk about multiple elephants in the room. Hindcappie ultra careful, mentioned podcast but forgot 2 people involved have a lifetime ban. David is very calculated and polite, George's career carefully described as to not to stir up any dirt. As is said predictions for the future are based on the past, Millar and Hindcappie at a table discuss young riders and path forward. Ironic.
