Re: Re:
Bassons also had a very sparse palmares apart from a stage win from the break at the Dauphine. Speeds in races haven't dropped so much that he would suddenly be able to top 10 a GT.
Guys like Bassons were very much the exception, at the time he may have even been the only Div 1 pro who could make a stand like he did and not have past dirt come to the surface.Netserk said:Given that there were clean pros back when they went faster, surely it's quite likely that there's also someone clean now?sniper said:Why not?Escarabajo said:There are probably some clean riders. Of course. I don't expect everybody to be dirty. Don't know how many and not even sure if there is one on that list.
There are thousands of clean cyclists. But you expect the cheaters to surface in competition. Cheaters are a minority. The propeloton is a minority within that minority.
Pure logic and statistics don't leave many arguments for assuming there's a single clean rider in the proranks. Unless you don't believe in the power of doping of course.
Yes there might be one, but it's not to be *expected*, imo. Rather, it would be unexpected.
