How much investigative time you gonna spend on this? I mean, it's not Watergate is it?

#IStandWithLatvia

Although #ILoveMvdP, I must say that #IStandWithLatvia.

Silence is complicity.

#IStandWithLatvia

Having reviewed the video again I have concluded that the bunnyhop in question was both "cool" and "extra skill" and his hair was very, very blonde so I'm afraid I no longer #StandWithLatvia

I will not be taking further questions at this time.

Sour grapes.

It seems that some are more equal than others, especially when it comes to unpopular decisions to be made.

Im fine with this in MvdP’s case.

The only reason that rule is in the rule book is because Belgium designs the most idiotic roads known to man.

A rule is a rule... oh except when it's meant to be enforced by the UCI.

Van Dead Ped should be DQq and Squashy given the 3rd.

Say #IStandWithLatvia then.

Why can’t you say it?

I don't follow trends. I'm a unique snowflake.

People are idiots.

You’re not a fan of the Latvian kit?

People have read the rules and prefer them enforced equally.

I watched the Cro Race this morning (turbo boredom) and Brandon McDonalds won by 50 seconds after an extended solo break. Now, I know it's a chipper, but no one from any other team congratulated him. Is this normal or do I detect some dissatisfaction in the peloton with the way UAE are winning (ie. it's believed they're doping)

Brandon McDonalds

Maybe he refused them free food?

I think he just lacks charisma.

(ie. it's believed they're doping) believed by you or just added for a good measure of tabloid style writing?

Could be following Pinarello money and take them with him to Q36.5?

R Pidders on his way to Italy?

No.

just idly stirring the pot hoping for some gossip

Adventures in cycling from the wilderness to the Tour de France with former professional cyclist Svein Tuft

Who’s looking forward to gr*vel worlds this weekend then!?

He'd be a fool if he did. He might get undisputed leadership status, and a salary somewhere close to what he's on at Ineos, but he's not going to get a World Tour-heavy racing program.
