They could make sprinting safer by taking out roundabouts and 90 degree corners in the last kilometre. It's just common sense when planning a route.
We can make Roubaix and RVV safer by taking out the cobbles.
Roubaix doesn't need cobbles.

Sky will race Colombia Oro y Paz and will bring their Colombians, especially Bernal should be intriguing. Thats some serious Colombian starpower in that race! |

« I want to add that I prefer chemical doping to mechanical doping. At least you have the courage to take your own risks. Mechanical doping means it's a different sport. I'd never have been able to use it. I'd have felt like a shit. »
Certainly one of the best quotes of 2018.
By the way, having a Volta a Portugal 2023 with Ricco, Cardoso, Pirazzi, Caruso, Pozdnyakov and a 50 year-old Rebellin could be amazing.

actually is from a couple of week ago this interview, so is from 2017, but still remain probably one of the best of the whole decade

Stunning thing IMHO. Guess it's not too late to get back from my own retirement. This bloke is just amazing.
Even the longtime banned cyclists could have a future

Fine P-N route and decent T-A route.
Valenciana is much like last year. |

A big step back from their good route from last year. Its not a bad Vuelta, but average at best to me due to the HTF/MTF overkill. Pretty expected tho and it still isn't Tour de France 2009, 2012 or 2017 horror-routes |

I want to believe him that he isn't a systematic or even "cheaty" doper and just want to see 6-9 months and no Vuelta title, but damn his conflicting stories look bad. Did he take an extra couple of puffs for an interview, because he was feeling seriously bad or did he take a normal amount and have his kidneys fail?
