I'm guessing Quintana won't be going back to Colombia 'to train in altitude' before every big race anymore

Until october 2013 there were no out of competition drug tests, and there are still barely any, so.....go to Colombia and dope at will

Oh, and the second they started testing, Henao got flagged

The blood doesn't show anything. Urine might maybe show presence of a drug, if you've taken it in the last half a second (slight exaggeration to complain that tests are useless).
Variation of blood values (Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, Retics, etc) show the effects of blood doping such as transfusions or EPO.
What the blood passport supposedly does is test people regularly to establish what their 'normal' values are, then if they show odd variations it shows doping. But judging by Horner's blood values you can dope like hell and still not have a case opened against you.
Which makes me wonder how doped up to the gills Henao must be to be called out. Probably on the Jimmy Briceño level

Though you might want to note that i'm not a sky fan, and i'd only lijke to see that becausepie won't do shit in the mountains/GC. Now im not sure what sort of programmes they're on, but somebody like Thomas or maybe Kiryenka or whatever he's called, though a Top 10 will be hard for either of them. And they'll probably want Thomas in the Tour.

some random guy: I feel like these sky v oge competition videos are experiments to see if people will watch completely uninteresting garbage.
Orica: Thanks for watching!
the same random guy: Ha ha! But seriously, a staring competition? Rock paper scissors was bad enough. What's next? A reading-the-race-manual off?
Orica: Hey Scott Dan here. I should't let the secrets out but here I will for you mate. Round 3 is dead fish (i.e who can lay on the floor for the longest without moving.) Round 4 will be a battle of grass growing, the team with the longest blades after a week wins, and we will condense that ep down to 60min. The round 5 decider is mouth watering battle of line drawing. Who can draw the straightest line is the winner. Oh and there is a hilarious scene with Daryl and the tape measure. Can't wait!

I'm pretty sure they want Nieve at the Tour since Porte's marginal gains seem to have stopped working. Also does anyone know if Kennaugh is still alive? Or do they only wind him for the Tour?
