Stage 19 of the 2018 Giro will probably be his epitaph....and what a great one to have. Link to post Share on other sites

BIG D 21,859 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) By the way, if you’ve not seen the ‘Lance’ documentary on ESPN/BT give it a watch if you can. What a piece of work. Edited August 19, 2020 by BIG D Link to post Share on other sites

Bernal or Carapaz. Both have one grand tour a piece. Link to post Share on other sites
Lime Tree Heros 317 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 With less than a week to go think this Tour will be all about Jumbo Vizma, can't see past Primoz Roglic for the win. Would like to see Guillaume Martin do well, outside shot of a podium? Link to post Share on other sites

I think Froome is a spent force now. I don't think G will be anywhere near in the GC at the Giro, he's not a good enough climber. Just not bothered... Link to post Share on other sites
southportdc 25,581 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Froome finding drugs don't overcome age and injury decline G finding a year of drinking to celebrate your Tour win overrides the drugs. Link to post Share on other sites

Sky were dirty. No reason to think Ineos aren't. That's the problem when you have a win at all costs mentality and a huge financial backing riding on it! I've given up on the idea of cycling being clean years since. It's been dirty since day one (I think someone got DQ'd from the first Tour for taking the train) so why would it be any different now.

Once his team doctor is struck off for ordering doping supplies to the National Cycling Centre, he's going to be done by WADA. Either Sky or British Cycling, or both, were benefitting from that. Froome is caught either way. Link to post Share on other sites

The ones who cycle for the doctor having testosterone delivered to him and trying to blame other people and pretend it didn't happen are the ones cheating. (Also, all of them are cheating).
