Ugh, can't they do it a little less obvious? This is seriously one of the most blatantly PED-fueled performances I can ever remember. Seriously 
indeed, have no idea how people can't see that they used PED to improve their non-crashing abiltiy

The ITTs have given some surprising results this Giro. |

Foliforov eh? How long does it take for doping tests to come back these days?

There is a surprisingly big number of "unknowns" this giro.
But it could also just be that most of the top 25 riders in the world is not even there.
Looks like we are back to a Giro that is 3rd in the grand tours. |

This Giro will turn into beast mode in third week. Valv, Nibali and Chaves to hunt Steve Kruis. He saw how Contador deals with it last year, now it's time for dutch show.
Boswell seeing Falaf's time.

I don't dispute that at all, I never said he was looking good at any stage in that TT but it did cost him more than 15 seconds, just watched the real time replay and i'd say 40-50 seconds lost there

Hmm, so far it has been boring , not like last year where we had Contador alone vs Astana, Movistar and a few other teams.
That was a epic Giro. |

Well, a performance like this considering everything should ring every alarms for a person who have followed cycling for more than 5 years. Not that I care, I think most people are doping, but today was blatant. |

Kruijswijk might have the giro in his hands now.. but so does his team. GL to Lotto defending all these incomming attacks, Steve can't follow every damn move for himself either. Looking forward to a heck of a 3rd week

Plus it was probably the toughest mountain stage of the entire year yesterday.

then again, if he's so strong as the last 2 days. It doesn't even matter. |
