  • It's incredible isn't it. It's no more in poor taste than Rapha celebrating iconic dopers whilst at the same time decrying the state of pro cycling and how the public views it.

    In a similar vein, I watched GCN+'s 'Legends' doc on Andrea Tafi. No mention of his doping and I found his recent history of him riding eastern European UCI races in his late 40s/ early 50s a bit sus.

  • The one about Andy Schleck is pretty good. It seems like it took him a while to get his head straight and realise that he had to move on. Whilst he probably had quite extreme pressures, it's probably a fair reflection on the burnout a number of riders are experiencing and the depression when they quit and realise that to most of the world they're just men who rode bikes for a bit rather than champions.
