Like Ciolek? 
Exactly 
If I had a 5-minute interview with Ciolek, I probably wouldn't mention MSR once and would simply punch him repeatedly for his stupidity throughout the years...

Glad I wasn't the only one shocked to see Ciolek winning MSR. |

Dafaq has Sayar been eating? Going to take out the overall if he keeps this up!

Berhane needs to finish 2nd overall after today to very probably win the overall.

Great to see a Turkish rider win a stage in the Tour of Turkey, and maybe the General Classification. Unless Berhane, or someone else further behind, can pull at least 42"+ (including bonuses) out on Sayar somehow. |

Funny to see Gabrovski's former teammate win it.

Sayar was in the top 20 of a race once last year (7th in a stage of the 2.2 Tour of Serbia and not counting national champs). This year he has come 2nd in two Algerian stage races. Prior to this his only results were in Turkish national races. He also managed to outclimb Schumacher several times in those races. Oh and he was 173rd on the Green Mountain stage last year.
Obviously none of this constitutes proof of drug use but it is not a good sign, particularly given what happened in this team last year.

What. The. Fuck. Who the hell is this Mustafa Sayar? 160th last year, and now leading? Funny, he was Gabrovski's teammate. |

He was injured last year while racing though.
His 2011 season is much better comparison.

Hm... very well then, I must have been sleeping throughout these past days, because only today I knew about the existence of this man. Hoping he's not another Gabrovski again... |

Indeed, he seems to be a fairly solid rider. I admit I hadn't heard of him before Elmali, but he has been very good in several local Turkish races.
I'm not saying that I'm absolutely certain that he's clean, but he seems somewhat believable at least. It's worth remembering that the field in this race is incredibly weak, after all.

As already mentioned, he had a good 2011 season, showing some promise. He's still young (1989) and developing as a rider, so what he did today isn't all that unbelievable also considering the rather bad field.
Or in short: +1 to Pelli's post |

Hmm Marcel Kittel...?
@marcelkittel
I was not often in my life so angry about a result of someone else. And I see many people around me feeling the same. #TourofTurkey
4:40 p.m. Fri, Apr 26
Is this what it seems or am I missing something? Hope he has some back up if it's what I think it is.
Edit - if I'm not mistaken and he has some basis then good on him of course.

Do people have control of what replies you can read on Twitter to their tweets? If so the 2 that Kittel has edited it down to might be even more indicative of his feelings!
Riders speaking out? Whatever next? McQuaid having national federation support revoked? Probably not no...
