  Contador tested positive for doping, which devalues his words to 0.

  I would expect him to try for red jersey start to finish, just to make it interesting - since it's obvious he's going to win barring crash or sickness. Or do the whole thing holding his breath, or riding no hands. It'll be stupifyingly boring if he wraps up the GC inside the first week but hopefully the rest of the contenders can fight it out like he isn't there and make it feel like something unexpected could happen. I'd like to see Gall on the podium for the second time this year.

  Hardly surprising, but still pretty grim to have fallen off so hard you can't even face finishing the current season.

  what do you think could be that is rotten? the team recruits new guys, they seem to have had a ton of bad luck. they still won a GT, several one week tours, a monument and lots of classics this year.

  Theres obvious somethnig very rotten going on at Visma now. I agree with Cort here andIve heard alot of people say the same Jonas should leave Visma for UNO-X. Think it would do him alot of good for his career.

  yes thats a huge part of their problem but nevertheless is the case too so yeah it is what it is kinda thing. They need money or its gonne just get worse i think

  I agree completely. If people watch Burgos’ long-duration highlights , they can see Nairo working for Mas until he was spent … and he still got 18th on GC.

  It’s pretty hard to find big sponsors for cycling if you prefer to avoid nation states, petrochemicals, betting, etc. Remember, tobacco and alcohol are no longer allowed but I think anyone can see the problem. No hard working company can afford to risk of ploughing that much money into an irrelevant venture.

  Austin Powers, obviously. Explains so much.

  THAT shouldn’t be the news of this stage, what about the latest near fatal car encounter?
