Oh the secret pro salty about some more shit. Just like his garbage Giro article. Sounds like every race is too hard for him.
This isnt even written by a real pro cyclist at this point. Just a sham to get page views. I mean read those first 3 paragraphs, are you kidding me?
Then the rest of the article is just hearsay that has been in the news for weeks.
While I do agree with you that the Secret Pro articles are pretty bad I can assure you that most parts are written by a Pro (actually a couple of pro's) and not by the guys at cyclingtips, the only thing they do is add a little misdirection to keep the identities of the riders a secret. I actually know a couple of the guys who are on staff at Cyclingtips
I dont doubt they originally were written by pros, I remember reading a few early on that were decent articles. However there is no way you can convince me that last one was written by someone in the peloton.
Again it's not 1 pro but a jumble of a couple of pro's, this is why things don't entirely match up. But there is no disputing that the latest one was garbage no matter how many were involved with it

Riis and Saxo Bank will join I think.

Good. This means finally a good-looking Saxo Bank jersey again and Tinkov can choke on all his fluo-yellow.
Hopefully like this: Perfection.

Will Cult get more funding if it happens? Do you think it's possible for them to change division?

It's just what I think. Maybe they announce they're disbanding. Everything is possible.

Riis doesn't need much funding to make a top class team. His teams are generally better than teams with twice his budget.

Danish cycling could really need a team on the top level and while I've not been the biggest fan of the team and it's direction, I can only hope someone can guide them in the right direction.
I've never been really sure Cult were doing the right thing recently and I see other danish teams going in a better direction, so I really do hope that they get a shot otherwise there are other ways

Yeah you are correct that Riis doesn't need a big budget to create a top class team, he just needs good "doctors"

2 positives in 12 months for the same team -> team suspended.

However while Katusha’s two cases have been announced within several weeks of each other, the UCI has told CyclingTips that this would not count as two positives under the regulation because Caruso’s test dates back to 2012.
As a result, it means that Katusha is not facing a potential suspension.
They are safe

UCI what a joke. Their rules say it's the notification that matters not the date of the test.
Good news though!

Kennaugh being a dick to someone on twitter. Nothing new
Side note: After every positive test I check l'Equipe's twitter list with all the riders to see how and who reacts.
Italian gets caught: half the peloton feels the need to tweet about it.
Tommy D gets caught: Pate and Jimmy Engoulvent are the only 2 riders to tweet about.
All the hypocrisy it's really disgusting.
