What? Not Froome to wherever he’s going??? Seriously though, JV did pretty well the year they had Jonas, Primoz and Sepp working « together ».08:07

Yet Skjelmose (amongst others) already managed so why not Mads? The implication is more one race once, not consistently in all sorts so why refuse the possibility?08:03

Well done Premier Tech and cycling for having put pressure to repair wrongs and reminding certain people to get their projects out of sport. How ironic IPT was saved (or was it a forced arrangement?) by the Spanish. Shame on Infantino with his prize For International Faffing About, BUT, can cycling avoid going down a similar path or will there soon be a prize for Unhealthy Collaboration with Insurgents for Undeclared Arms in El-Fasher?07:48

That’s today’s problem too, we’re talking levels of nano or pico per g or l. Molecule detection is so amazing these days that « background » pollution is becoming a real problem. If they can detect your dna just about any place you were in the hours up to days after, if you can be +ve weeks after inhaling someone’s breath at a distance at a gathering, you put athletes in a real mess by forcing them to prove themselves.28-11-2025 19:54

I think you’re getting way ahead of things there, no suspicion of that at all, no real logical reason or gain and just takes attention away from investigating what might be the real cause, TA mentions his own suspicions and it doesn’t take a genius to know it’s a true possibility. Another rider was +ve gor the same substance in the same location, known for intensive milk manufacturing. Anyone who’s spoken to a few farmers knows the greedier players are into using many products to increase production or simplify work, clenbuterol for meat, létrozole for managing reproduction, mostly for milk production. The products, methods and research are explicitly mentioned in agricultural publications for productivity improvement and industrial scale production has much to gain from sneaking these easy gains into their chain. Only a fool would imagine no-one does it. Instances are not keeping up with their responsibilities to stop falsely accusing athletes of involuntary doping through environmental ingestion, leaving the burden and non-reimbursersed costs on athletes and investing very little if nothing to evaluate environmental doping pollution. This was proved once again with the story of a female football player* found positive after inhaling worn artificial pitch dust containing decomposing additives used for rubber production. This kind of knowledge may even be used against athletes in future, some official using it to purposely show an unliked athlete to be +ve. At the very least, authorities should be giving athletes a list of suspected easy contamination sources, a list which is starting to get pretty long. * her case was not even thrown out when it transpired 7 other players (from both teams) tested +ve for the same product at the same place.28-11-2025 08:11

The main reason it’s impressive is that he’s not abandoned cycling at a high level whilst achieving it. That said, I’m pretty sure he runs quite regularly especially in prep for cyclocross where it’s obviously advantageous so I’m not surprised at all. If there was any money or glory in duathlon he’d be right up there competing.22-11-2025 14:34

It’s not their fault cycling has so little newsworthy to report in the « off-season » don’t blame the media if there’s no money to do in-depth or interesting articles but yes, you are mostly right. Also, the excuses for not having done better are totally pathetic, his body and build are no different and certainly not worse than any half- enthusiastic amateur running those kind of times as anyone who’s ever watched runners arrive at the finish can testify. Only those running around 1:15 or less even look like they practice running, below that the styles, postures, strides and everything else make everyone else look like they just began, no matter how many years of practice.22-11-2025 14:30

Does it even matter anymore in an age where sport moves ever closer to becoming a laundromat. Enjoy the last years of cycling before it becomes the farce that much of football already is and just hope none of the stars succumb or reach for this level of « exploitability ». « Ronaldo dines with Donald for glamour portion of grotesque Saudi-funded spectacle » And for those who so love to compartmentalise everything in order to continue dreaming and denying pro sport and politics aren’t connected, better hope the connection between the guy sponsoring the biggest team and the genocide in Sudan doesn’t become as popular for the media to report on as the last one (not over at all though reporting has basically stopped).22-11-2025 14:18

So predictable, same procedure as every year but honestly, do you hear anyone complaining, asking for more reporting on cyclocross, mtb, scouting, sponsor moves, anything? When you see how deeply football fans will reach to extract every last nugget of info, how every minute detail gets analysed to death, I would hate to have to define what constitutes a fan.15-11-2025 20:42
