  if we’re going to have a spending cap, there should be a spending minimum. and on top of that, how about fixing their sponsor only revenue model. as for Tadej and his dominance, he lost his # 1 domestique in last year’s TdF and won handily. and MVDP rides for Alpecin. They are a small budget team that is smart. look at the sprinter’s jersey in this years Giro. Lidl Trek has a huge budget, but reasonably small budget Quick Step is owning the sprints. and EF beat VLB in races last year, Powless’s win being most famous. that had nothing to do with salary cap.

  the NBA finals are about to start now. in the conference finals 2 of the smallest market teams competed for a spot to compete against the knicks - San Antonio and OKC. As an NBA fan and Bulls fan, the salary cap gives the illusion of parity. but when a team does not go all in, or their scouting is terrible, or they accept mediocrity, then teams like the bulls will continue to suck.

  I remind you all that he was kind of aiming for it last year but reconsidered after noticing how much more effort than expected the Tour took out of him. Or do you all believe he’s not competitive enough himself to have wanted to be the first ever to win all 3 the same year? Not many know thatContador won each twice whilst Merckx and Froome have won all three tours consecutively. Hinault is the only one to have achieved both these feats.

  yes, almost could remove heavy at this point. Jonas looked crazy good. the only crack was that TT result

  what point did she prove, that she can win a sprint when the worlds best sprinter isn’t in the race??? what a joke.

  Hey, did anyone check if she didn’t lose something along the way like a bottle holder, if there was water stuck in the frame, if she changed a wheel, if a mechanic did something before the race? Was it the only bike that got weighed? Fact is, rules are rules and when you’re found out it’s hard to not apply them as it sets precedence for others (but Wiebes wasn’t punished and I’m only 20g under her bike, and then another is 20 under that new, etc. That’s why a limit is set in the first place, for everyone to have the same reference. To be honest, if I was at 6,83 pre-race I’d feel pretty stressed knowing that it’s the ORGANISERS scales that count and there can be discrepancies. I would have added like Tadej, BEFORE the race which obviously excludes disqualification. By all means, protest against severity and inconsistency but remember that ultimately the responsibility lies in-house. That said, it’s interesting to note an Italian was just behind, reminds me of when Merckx was caught « doping » at the Giro but only when he already had a huge time gap on 2nd.

  What an insane overreaction. Relegate her to the back of the rankings for the stage, UCI points off, even a yellow card - but straight expelled? Ridiculous

  sad for him, he is such a great guy. and while it is not related to these problems, I’ll forever despise Dylan Groenewegen.

  how are they only to blame themselves when the bike was fine before the race started? and when it checked out on their scales? and when it is the same bike ridden all year?
