If Wiggins already know about a doping case it should be released today or before tomorrow's stage, if they let him rider after some of the riders already know, there is something wrong there.
Maybe something about a transfer to Garmin?
I agree. My hunch is a transfer but the Menchov thing could be right.

Yes, but that case has been in the media and it would not be the shock the cycling world, or not how I look at it.

If It's Menchov, that means bye bye Rabobank, bye bye my future...

Not really with Vaughters saying before the tour "A transfer with Contador was close, but it fell through"
Yeah.. negative thinking, you wish. At least i'm not moping around saying "ahh the whole peloton is doped" like some people.

heh. I just came in here to post this exact thing.
Doping case, most likely.
Probably someone that I'll be saying "how the f*** is this a surprise?" |

Why the hell would Contador sign with another team during the tour when the loyalty from the other riders are already in question and him signing for another team would pretty much mean he is on his own rest of the tour.
Will be exciting to see what it might be tomorrow though. I hope it is new jersey for Garmin cause i dont like the one they have now. |

Now that you guys mention it, I'm thinking it's going to be some inane thing with team sky that'll make me yawn.
Definitely not a positive. Fat chance Wiggins know about that before anyone else. |

But you are obviously hoping for a doping case. Your posting makes that clear, and that sickens me. Sorry doddy. |

yes, i absolutely agree with you. Contador is very stupid if he sign a contract with an other team during the TDF |

So many riders do that. It would be stupid to announce it, but not to sign it. To sign one would be perfectly normal.
As for "rock the cycling world", Contador signing elsewhere doesn't qualify.
It only qualifies in the mind of a british person (Wiggins) if he's signing with Team Sky.
At this point, it could be anything. Earthquake in the Astana team? Possible.
Anything's possible, really. |

If its a transfer. That must be a rider that dosent ride the Tour. Which big names dosent ride the Tour? Di Luca, Petacchi, S Sanchez. Some more?
But it is a doping case. A tour without a doping case its a tour without doping tests. |

hoping no, but the facts say yes.
Sorry it's called being realist.

Could it involve Cav. Wiggins and Cav are former track mates (like the usage of the word "mate" there? See, we can use it like you brits do) so if maybe Cav is jumping to Sky or something Wiggins might know. I still doubt thats happening, but its a possibility. |

Not a doping test. 99% sure.
A. There's no way Wiggins would know before the general public unless it was one of his teammates
B. If it were one of his teammates he wouldn't have twittered a completely normal, inane thing a few minutes later |

Cavendish won't move from Columbia i don't feel.
He wants a team that can win, Sky can't 100% guarentee that. I think it'll take a few seasons before cavendish considers it.
