He could've mentioned that Breschel also had two warnings, but that would hurt his dreams of riding for Riis

Yes. And as a result of going far beyond what most dared in the quantities of EPO, Pantani's body became incapable of naturally producing EPO so he had to take the stuff every two or three days and have a blood transfusion every once in a while to avoid dying.
And that's a big part of what gave Pantani his insane performances.
In short, one could argue he transcended humanity...
Also, MR, never ceases to make me sigh heavily.

Anyway
not news, but Cyclingnews continues to be Hilariously Bad 
The caption for that was something like "Chtioui poses with two young fans"
EDIT: for those not used to identifying riders by face, the two others are Rujano and Pozzovivo. Chtioui is a nobody who had one good result at the under-23 worlds many years ago and has done nothing since.

It was the Junior worlds, not under 23 - he was 2nd in 2004, with Kreuziger 1st, Spilak 3rd, Gesink 6th etc. Anyway to be fair to him, this is the first year he has had a proper team since then, hence the nothing of note since.
But still, that is bad captioning

Cofidis has extended sponsorship for two more years.
Only BBox to go, now. (And Milram, Caisse and Saxo Bank, but if those teams die a horrible death it'll do the sport no harm)

The problem is that those teams (except for Milram) never die. And if they die, which is not likely at all, another clone shows up inmediately. |

Sure. It would be a pity for French teams, for other teams not. All teams are on doping, only the French teams not, international teams are too good, French teams are too weak... Wake up!

No. AG2R isn't different to the rest of teams, and Agritubel was a team which wasn't my standard of cleanness either, and I didn't care of his disappearence. It'd be a pity if BBox disappears though.
Also, isn't all about doping. BBox makes exciting some boring stages. Caisse D'Epargne and Saxo (except for very few exceptions) make boring some theoretically exciting stages. |

Caisse or Saxo make boring some stages?  This stages are boring because all teams don't do anything

Yes. So who is making those stages boring? The teams. Which teams?
Anyway, I'm done with this offtopic. Both teams are gonna find a sponsor, and Milram will die. That's my bet.
I hope BBox continues. |

9 out of 10 won't notice if BBox stops. Last year they finished 19th in the UCI team world ranking while Caisse finished 2nd and Saxo 4th.

correction, 9/10 will notice. They are attacking riders there. I'd miss them.
