From Cav's statement

Although they know how short I can be when j am stressed.

Cav, you are short all the time.

merckx is extremely irreverent to the powermeter generation

I think his irreverence is what upset people.

I prefer Hinault's irreverence. Its organically French.

Go on a bike ride after snorting a fat line.

Ohh, a forum ride! List time?

Saw a reference to the Eurosport podcast with Brad seeing the Ineos DS’s laughing and taking the piss out of Tao when he was getting dropped. Him and Bernie predicting changes over there.

Rec-a-naissance. Oh Brad-a-ley.

Who is lead DS for Ineos at the Tour? Rasch?

Given how well they've done at the Giro the past two seasons, you'd think that Cioni and Tossato would be up for promotion.

For the first time in about 15 years I'm not watching the tour. I do have a question tho, has doping made a big come back?

No.

Or yes.

I'll take the second answer....no, the first....hmmm

Who knows. Some people will claim for sure that it has, others will say it hasn't. The rest of us don't know.

It used to be easy to spot the dopers. But that was a while back.

receding hairline?

It's more than receded now but thanks for asking.

Well I know that. I wanted internet experts, not rational answers.

Only one of these 3 was not a doper. Which proves that drugs don't work.

Sorry to quote but I didn't know you were taking pictures of de ver club runs.

That was a curious group; a famous climber, a famous sprinter and a famous time triallist all together and way, way off the front.

1) Cycling - best sport to do IRL

Only fixie-cycling, though. I'm sure you know that.

The idea of an energy recovery system housed in a hub is pretty out there. If someone had managed to miniaturise that tech, install it in a hub, make it useful AND keep it secret they would be doing very well

Probably just poorly adjusted Campag disc brakes?
