- There will be no suspicion if JV and Pogacar do bad today because the testing will prove they are not doping. The only reason why they would not perform today is because of the fact that their sleep was disrupted. It’s a clear indication that UCI is interfering in the competition
- Disrupting their rest before a grueling stage right after they had a grueling stage. Nice way to show others that you are not bias. Even if you're not bias, it is hard to shake off the suspicion if both of them suffer and lose time today. Good job, organiser! 4 hours of sleep before a hard stage. I won't be surprised if Tadej gets dropped today.
- If the French "Inglourious Basterds" did what they did, it would only be fair if, at the same time on the same night, they woke all of the cyclists in the top ten. If it is truly necessary to disrupt cyclists' sleep and recovery in this way before the toughest day, then everyone should be treated equally, amongst them Seixas. Ad acta!!!
- Spot in helping Sexias .French testers lol
- The only reason I can imagine is that UCI had some suspicions regarding micro-dosing so the only way would be to make a night test.
However, they could wake up both riders at same time (use two teams of doctors) and/or they could test TOP5 of current classification.
Unless someone is trying to help Seixas...
- "I would say to Jonas and Tadej: wake those guys up at two o’clock in the morning for a change. Then they’ll feel what they are doing to us. It is certainly not respectful.”
Excellent idea!
Only problem is, you have to wake up at 2 anyway
- The French nickname for Tadej Pogačar: Lance Armstrong II. ... Shame on them!!!
- Bet the testing staff were French lol. Sexias did not get a visit .
- This is the abuse of the discretion provided by the regulations, which establish a 12-hour time frame. An athlete has the right to rest. Testing should be avoided between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. This is utter French BS. Believe me, they don't knock on the doors of basketball players, footballers, or track and field athletes at 2:00 a.m. to test them.
First the booing... second the waking up of Pogi and Vinnie... what's coming next? French haters spitting... throwing urine at Pogi and Jonas, pushing them off the bike etc. etc.???
- Probably done to help the rider in the White Jersey??
