The point changes are great and truly expected but as said the 80% rule may not be enough.

Apparently the teams wanted more, but UCI refused, so that riders as individuals keep a certain weight. |

Nice changes, but as others suggest, 50-50 would be the best way to go.

Indeed. It's not like Thomas Davy said 12 years ago that there was organized doping in Banesto.
Oh wait, he did.

I found it all the more natural that heavy riders could suddenly climb as well as feather-weight riders, and still TTed much better than ever before them.
That was before I grew some common sense though. |

Ask Rominger what he thinks about the fact that Indurain was using doping.
(He is so funny if he has to speak about doping of others because he was using it himself. You can hear it in every word he says or better does not say.)
But now back on topic: In that decade, was there anybody who wasn't full of it? I am sure even the drivers in the team cars where full of illegal substances back then. |

Charly Mottet and Gilles Delion had the reputation to be truly honest.
LeMond has a good reputation too, but nowadays he's got the face of a guy who's used corticoids too much.

Yeah, Indurain taking doping is so surprisive, like snow in the winter.
Iirc, we had recently the same miracle change from top notch TTist into the great climber and TdF winner, while he remained best TTist, what was his name?

Roman Kreuziger is going to Tirreno-Adriatico in the end, to help Contador win the race. He should race Paris-Nice as the leader, but he was ill half of February and has training shortage.

And in another news, Sagan feels completly fit, recovering from bronchis inflammation and sligtly changed plan. Before Strade Bianchi, he will also ride G.P. Camaiore tommorow (with Moser). He says he is ready for all the major goals in March, icluding T-A and MSR.

Complete the UCI's survey, let them know what you think. It's worth 20 minutes of your time I reckon! (It's in English and French)

Well I completed it, though I kinda felt like when voting in the elections - like losing my time to have a clear conscience.

I also noticed this rider, who is really young, but seems to be dominant at anything he chooses and was riding and working with Italians. Can't recall his name though, any ideas?
