Pro-cycling thread

Love a bit of moral outrage in the morning.

Lotto Jumbo’s handling of the sleeping pill popping team members is very transparent and commendable imho.

Pidcock to Team Wiggins, presumably as a stepping stone to Sky

Isn't he signed to telenet for another year?

They don’t do road racing. Just cyclocross team

That was reported, but unconfirmed months ago. If you follow Pidcock on Instagram, he’s been training with some of the Wiggins team for the past couple of months in Nice.

Is JTL still behind Saint Piran, not sure why anyone would want to be involved if so.

The team was trying to crowdfund on Just Giving last I saw.

Team Wiggins confirmed their new team today on Instagram, including Pidcock.

Where does Team Sunweb keep a list of their doctors? On their official website seems like 90% of the staff is made of mechanics, then a couple of soigneurs, a nutritionist, a physician and a bike fitter.
Do they use external contracted doctors?

Edit: or even worse, do every rider have their "special" doctor?

I think you will receive a reply when you e-mail them your question, or even approach Iwan Spekenbrink about it on twitter.

Nice little blog I'd missed by David Millar about helping out James Knox this year who is going from Wiggins to Quickstep.

Nice to know you can be on Wiggo's team for a year and never have met him or have a coach.

He's been busy with another vanity project.

He's been busy with another ventolin product.

ftfy

Ugh - Millar writes like a total bellend.

his response to the training I gave him that although he had a lightweight chassis he had a big AF engine. What was most surprising was that he was also totally chill about science and power etc.

Didnt realise you could be signed to two teams is all

How do you do, fellow kids

Does he have a single redeeming feature?

Hats?

When did Lance start making sense?

to be fair, if anyone should know about cheating, strategically purchasing influence and throwing people under the bus it's him so it's less a case of suddently making sense and more a case of him actually being truthful about his real worldview as a Certified Doper instead of Cancer Jesus.

Quite like him when he's been co-commentator on TV. Still a ballbag but an insightful ballbag.

Just cause he's a cunt doesn't mean he's got nothing to say. It does seem rather odd that as soon as there's a non-Anglo-Saxon president, the leading British rider and team are the subject of a wholly improper leak. But on the basis that there are cunts, cunts everywhere, who knows what's really happened?

He was a very good fast pro.

conspiracy theories ftw!
