You were the chosen one! You were supposed to bring victories to Kristoff, not leave him in 5th place!
Is that last bit from the worst movie of all time?
Anyway, strange news. Oldest guy around partying the hardest?
Stupid enough to get caught, so good we got him.
Premature end to his career? |

Nice theory, though I could rather see Oleg Tinkoff doing something like that.

If by "worst" you mean "best", then yes.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

If by "worst" you mean "best", then yes.
If by episode 3 you mean The Empire Strikes Back, then I guess you are correct  |

Kristoff said to norwegian media that "we can't have cocaine on the team".
Of course not, Paolini just snorts it all anyway. This is why we can't have nice things!

Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race 2016 is now a 1.HC. Nice to see a Victorian/Australian race getting bigger.

Seriously though, stupid thing to do, whether it was in Utrecht or not.

It was only a stupid thing to do doing it so close to the or during the race, outside of compition then it's fine if you ask me, alcohol is a way worse substance anyway you look at it.
As far as conspiracy theories go that is a funny one, if Katusha wanted out they would just fire him or have him get caught with an actual PED.

Hopefully this is the grading it stays at until it establishes itself as a race, the TDU had to do it and it's now considered a successful event. That part of the year in Australia is now starting to look like a nice group of races with the Bay Crits, Nationals, TDU, GORR and the Sun Tour

No wonder Basso has not been upto form in Giro and even now at TdF. Hopefully he will get better soon. These forms have better prognosis so we will see him soon back. |

Not at the moment, sneaking such a thing past Sky's legal attack dogs a second time and keeping it a secret would be hard to do. As usual The Science of Sport has something interesting to add as always.

Since it is now on places like Daily Motion I wish them good luck (or maybe not) stopping it.

Romain Zingle (Cofidis) forced to retire after continuous heart problems.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

That's no good. He is still quite young too. A shame he never realised his potential after two second places in the LBL u23 race.

Also a shame, but he hasn't had a terrific year at Trek.

He's been crap for a few years now, still, how many people can say they won on the Champs Elysees?
