But Boonen didn't get suspended, because it wasn't for cycling. He just used it in his private life, no problems there for me 
Gavazzi used it as doping instead?  |

I don't know, I'm not familiar with the case, but if he got a x-year suspension, and Boonen got off scot-free, I assume he did it during the season, or something. |

Caught 2 days before he won a stage in the Cycling week of Lombardy in 2010. (or 2011?)
He was already caught once in 2004 and he had to go in a rehabilitation program then.

GP de la Marseillaise was the first race IAM competed in, right? How'd they go?
Not sure about IAM, but a guy who was once convicted of beating his stepfather to death won...

That doesn't have much to do with cycling, does it ?
On another note, Justin is the son of Pascal Jules, who won two TDF stages in the 80's, and was a team mate of PH Menthéour, before he'd tragically pass away (car accident, IIRC).
Erwann Menthéour (brother of Pierre-Henri) would later dedicate his book about doping to him. |

That's true, and Justin has said it's also his dream to follow his father's footsteps: win a TDF stage. Though isn't that what everyone wants?  |

Great for Michael to win a sprint!
Jules remains in a great shape, apparently.
Boeckmans needs to get in shape, though. |

Yep. Coquard is now 6" back. Interesting to see Coquard sprinting so well, he seems to have adapted perfectly to pro life already. I remember that he was fastest on the line in the U23 RR championships.
EDIT: It might be worth keeping an eye on Planckaert this season. He had some good results like 4th at Fourmies last year.

Looking at the finishing picture, Coquard must've done an impressive sprint, look at the difference! |

Yep, he did quite well in last year's U23 Worlds, coming in second. |
