Briefly touching back on junior doping, surely it makes sense to start as a junior as when you start your blood passport you will already have been doping so you won't get caught out in the future as long as you keep it up and don't increase it.

But you will need to use doping always, every race, every day.
Anyway, such a good guess, never thought about it, it is probably the way how nearly no-one gets caught.

Is it confirmed that Australia is only sending 1 to the TT? If it's the case it makes no sense, plenty of solid TT'rs around.
That's a quality squad from the French

Belgium needs to race smart and as a team if they want to win this. I don't think Boonen or Gilbert can make a difference on their own anymore. I like the squad though, Vansummeren and Hermans are the perfect workers, Bakelants, Vanendert and Vanmarcke are great escapees en then you have Boonen, Van Avermaet and Gilbert for the last round. For Wellens it will be a great learning experience, and I wouldn't be too surprised if he's still there in the last lap.

The Giro d'Italia 2015 (Stage 15) will climb one of the sacred mountains of cycling: Madonna di Campiglio!
any bets on it being cancelled due to weather
I mentioned it here yesterday before it was officially announced.
Since when was Madonna di Campiglio a sacred mountain btw? It's a pretty average climb at best only made famous by Pantani etc.
At 1700m I don't see why it would be particularly suspect to the weather?
At least they have a steep climb before the finish as the final climb is barely steep enough for any gaps to appear at all. Pretty weak for a Sunday stage before the rest day if you ask me.
it's sacred since Giro says it is (just copied the video discription ). the Italian weather has surprised me before . I doubt that the climb before will make much difference. even if Nibali might get some time on the downhill but the endclimb is too far away and the inclimb (is that even a term?) is too easy.
