Oops, that was a bit confusing 
Well, I was talking mainly about stage races earlier. Classics are obviously hard as well, but I think the chances of a clean rider winning there is bigger than in the big stage races.
I hope you're aware of the fact that LBL has a reputation for having doped riders or otherwise linked to doping win for the last decade or so? |

So instead of testing samples from suspicious riders, they test samples of riders who have already been caught...

Jelle Vanendert has to skip the Tour due to a parasite somewhere in his intestines. |

That would explain his bad form. He'll most likely get replaced by De Greef. I do hope VdB can still find some form for the Tour though. |

I don't really know. Since many of the teams riding TdF, where also is no final startlist yet, i think it will be announced when TdF lists are there. |

Nikita Novikov (Vacansoleil) can be added to the list of dopers
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Hydroxy-ostarine was the drug. Does anyone know what its effects are?

Plus somebody should tell Mcquaid that he needs to sell out atleast one big name instead of all these small fish to be assured of reelection

First GW1516, which isn't approved for human use, and now this - just how high is the price of winning?

**** I am done with this team. Especially mr. Luijkx. To think that 3 months ago I was considering applying for an internship at their office...
The list just got too long. Ricco, Mosquera, Rujano, Flecha, Bole, Novikov... Why on earth does he keep signing all these shitty foreign riders that nobody in Holland or Belgium even care about. It's so frustrating, especially cause I love the Dutch/Belgian heart of the team: Poels, De Gendt, Westra, Markus, Hoogerland, Boeckmans, Van Poppel, Kreder... it's a shame for all them, especially the young talents, they deserve to be in a better team. |

Nibali has the most lucrative deal in cycling right now according to Niewusblad at 4 million per year. Contador 2nd at 3.5 million per year and Gilbert 3rd at 3 million.
Still nowhere compared to football or tennis.

He was super strong in U23, but then failed to deliver since turning pro. All sorts of assumptions you could go to from that.
In the latest round of pro cyclists speak out when a rider is caught, Ian Boswell has cast doubt on his U23 performances

Still incredible how much it has raised in 10 years. In 2006, only Boonen, Cunego and Valverde were worth over 1 million
