I wouldn't say no one's asking questions, anymore. Maybe the UCI isn't but they're historical complicity shouldn't shock anyone. It's not apparently definable what, if any edge the "nice" guys have and whether they all do or it's going to fade. Hell, Cancellara was accused of motor doping as the explanation of his classics dominance.Ironically starting to dislike it more.
With dudes like Froome, it's like at least people knew it was joke, or they'd sooner or later admit it. Or they'd just go to "clentadopucci" ***.
Now there's not even asking questions anyore. Everything is happy, doping happened 20 years ago, all the while the most ridiculous *** is happening in front of our eyes every fuckign day.
I miss the Froome days. Instead of 3km of action for the win in the Froome days, we now get 5 seconds of Pogacar riding away seated with a smile on his face with a 50% chance of the TV directors missing it as well. Race over. Everyone knows it. And people only get excited because they bought into the cult of Pogacar. Or the cult of Vingegaard. Or the cult of MvdP
"He's so nice".
I'd also be nice if I was the biggest doper out there, everyone worshipped me, and I had assurance i wasn't getting busted any time soon.
On the broadcast today (Peacock) the commentator mentioned that 65% of the bikes were checked without incident. I almost spit my coffee out at that comment.
