  • The thing is, even if Pog is doping, I find it very unlikely that no-one else is, so unless he's on something new, it's a level playing field either way, sort of.

    That was an Armstrong/Pantani - esque ride yesterday, mind you, and there's plenty of innuendo flying around French/Euro twitter. Most of it is Reddit echo-chamber style stuff, but some comments are just specific enough to hint that a few people know something.

    Anyway, if Pogacar stays upright, he's won. Disappointing that this is over as a contest after week 1.

    This is a fallacy. If everyone was taking the same doses of the same drugs, it is still not a level playing field because there is not a uniform response to drugs.

  • A difference to the Froome era is that UAE don’t have the ‘sky train’ to squash attacks in the mountains, so unlikely to have the boring no attack grind up all the mountains.

    However don’t see Carapaz (who looks the best of the rest) gaining basically 7 minutes on Pogacar in order to win.

    He can’t make everyone though.
