Come on. Who on earth would hesitate calling Jerome Pineau a class-act sprinter?

1. Team of Bjarne Riis always will be Team CSC for me..
2. It was only one small Czech joke. It is difficult to understand for an Englishman.  Matti has no chance against Cavendish or Petacchi. His chances is increasing when terrain is hilly. He is a type of rider like Hagen or Pozzato.

I love SAXO BANK Liquigas - only Kreuziger because he is Czech and Basso because I liked him when he was in CSC. Hmm and.. I like him also today |

There's no such thing as "Czech jokes". People get jokes if you explain them
I don't think it would be hard for an englishman to understand. But then again, I'm not english so I wouldn't know

Rule one in the unwritten rules of using an internet forum is: "sarcasm shall always be followed by one of following smileys; "" or ""."

Great for Martin, just a shame that the results are spoiled by the rider at #1 |

A friend of mine told me that I was crazy to put Fuglsang into the list of favourites - results proved him wrong
Edit: It's disgusting to see Valverde still winning races, considering the fact that he's suspended...

I hope he gets stripped of every single result since he attempted to dope. And that he has to pay back every penny he has earnt since then, and that he gets whacked with a full 4 year ban for being so annoying.

He's been really impressive this season Jakob Fuglsang considering it's his first year on the road. Of course his MTB days have hardened him, but he has gone way over my expectations by far. Looking forward to see if he can keep it up in the rest of the race.

He is not suspended. The fact that the UCI does not take over the sanction of the CONI says enough about the evidence and the legality of the court procedure. I ain't a supporter of Valverde, but the least what we can ask of the courts is that they thoroughly prepare their cases, independent from Valverde using EPO 3 years ago, or not. |
