Doper and Doper DS?? Before you project your virtue any further on a sport that is today completely managed by past riders and associates who doped, you need to get perspective:
Johan is not currently involved with professional cycling. ...Every single team in the World Tour has past dopers on the payroll...some are directors.
Johan has more insight, knowledge, experience and expertise than practically any other cycling journalist, blogger, announcer, rider, director, or any other "expert".
Eddie Merckx, the great that many people consider the GOAT, was doper, caught, admitted, punished, and suspended. 30 years later in 1998 follwing the Festina Affair, Merckx stated that the TdF can not be won without doping. His son was also a doper. He knew about Armstrong's doping the whole time.
....Again, don't cast virtue towards Johan without at least acknowledging that there isn't a single part of the sport to this day that isn't tainted by past, if not current, doping connections.
"But now it is time for him to focus on the road, to be honest." Honesty from Bruyneel!? Good grief. None of these guys have a clue as to the meaning of the word honesty; if there's one thing you can say about the non-stop verbal diarrhea spewed by these dregs, honesty is not on the list.
There are concrete reasons they've been handed lifetime bans from cycling and legal reasons Bruyneel can't come to America. It's quite disturbing their narcissistic opinions are entertained here as clickbait. This site really needs to get up to date - it's not the nineties anymore.
Pidcocks salary is paid across three disciplines as he represents Ineos in all those.
So to say he only should earn his salary as a GC rider is ludicrous and from the mouth of a doper and doper DS which makes it irrelavant !
Hate to say it but he is right. T.P is 100% not worth his wage hence why it appears he is likely moving to the lower tiers.
Or maybe he should dope up. Something hincapie knows so much about.
Shut up, George. Your opinion doesn't matter.
