No TdF for Geraint Thomas in 2012

https://sporza.be/...homas_tour


Much expected. Can't wait to see him in the Classics and leading out Appo-Jet in the Giro.


With all the cooperation between Sky and the GB National Team, would the latter having a say in keeping Thomas out of the Tour (and rested for London 2012, road and track) surprise anybody?


Deadpool: Thomas is repeating his 2008 schedule, when he wasnt on a British team. He wants to ride the track in London - its not like he is being told to ride there by GB. And also, it will only be track in the Olympics, no road. Its fine for those targeting road at the Olympic to do the TdF, but not for the track, especially when Britain have a huge task on their hands to beat the Australians in the TP.


Wait, Thomas is skipping the road race in the Olympics next year? I obviously know the training regimes are different for road and track, but I didn't think that would entirely rule him out of doing the road race. To me that significantly weakens the GB team, because Thomas was probably, if not the lead out man, then at least the 1km to 500m guy for the GB train. And considering that the organizers clearly see Cav as one of their best chances for Gold (putting the road race on as the, I believe, but am not entirely sure this is the case, first medal event), that surprises me.


Wasn't the road race the first medal last time?

They could still be called Lotto-Ridley, just the UCI haven't used that as the name.

Same team of course. I'd guess that Ridley may not have officially formalised their title sponsorship quite yet or something similar.

I didn´t expect anything else than that, especially after the Contador case. Why ban someone for a not performance-enhancing drug when he´s among the best riders of the country?

Maybe Kolobnev has a high blood pressure, so he used Hydrochloricthiazide (it's the first choice in Holland for th etreatment of high blood pressure). We don't know....... Rolling Eyes

That's what happens when you let the national federations decide the bans. That's just moronic, and something that must be changed as soon as possible.

Let's not judje when we don't know exactly what happened.

I am, as Russian, of course don't believe that Alexander took drugs intentionaly, but I remember that one of russian national champions that rode for PT team (i won't tell any names and sourses) took doping products and noone was punished, I think not many people in foreign countres knows about that

The same as the Contador case, he would have been punished but when the Prime minister said that there are no in law punishmends(what there are ofcourse) against Contador

It's been established in a spanish investigation that Kolobnev is a client of doping doctor Jesús Losa

How on Earth is that linked ?
A guy took dope or didn't, folks all around the globe get an opinion about it (be it that they don't have a clue).
Thus, there's a mechanical reaction that forces people from the same nationality as the potential doped rider to believe that he didn't take anything ?

Had you had the same knowledge of facts, but been from whichever other country, would you believe something different ?
Thankfully opinions can't change facts backward.

I don't see the logic behind that. Should I, as a Spaniard, believe in Contador just because we have the same passport? Should the Italians believe Basso's "tentato doping" bullshit?
 
Aquarius
Well, don't they ? Pfft
 
kumazan
Well, Torri didn't. Pfft

BigMat had agreed to become the co-sponsor of Garmin, but for whatever reason withdrew its offer later on, after new contracts had been signed.

An investor is covering the "missing" sponsorship.

Well Kolobnev doesn't get punished, only a bill of 1.200 euro's

The Donckers-Accent team will not come. Accent hasn't payed any money yet so the team is folding.

Hulsmans is probably the most important rider who hasn't a team for next year
