At the time I thought that was a lack of energy and him looking around was an attempt at "could you guys do all the work for me, pretty please  ", but it was disappointing either way.

Byolante posted:It looks like someone was upset they aren't doing enough doping controls on the giro, then froome makes a douchebag smug comment about the complainer benefiting from less doping controls. Froome is complaining about a lack of testing in Tenerife (where he trains) Because Nibali and Contador are there as well. Ironic because he spends the offseason in South Africa where testing is very minimal as well. The sport is a farce lol.

Chris Froome calls for more anti-doping tests in Tenerife  and you are not disappointed by the use of tramadol from team sky ? Will Froome make a donation to the UCI to help fight doping ?

Quintana is now secure and confirmed he is the strongest in this Giro. Aru is on the podium despite a good TT from Rolland, it's nice for Itay, he got a good chance at 2nd, tomorrow, he should attack.

One of these three riders will likely win the Tour and they will inevitably be asked if they were tested while training. I'd rather be able to say yes I have been tested.

He's also making a very good point that out of season testing (when the doping is at its most prevalent) is very poor and should be increased.

Being that 3 of the top riders are all training there, I'm pretty sure the doping control folks could get their poo poo together and take a boat or whatever out there. I know I'm underestimating the enormous headache these doping controls must be, but come the gently caress on. It's Froome, Nibali, and Contador, all in the same hotel somewhere.

You really think those three guys are going to buy and sell the Tour? And let's be honest, collusion between Pro Teams happens every day in racing. Recall OPQS and Saxo (?) splitting the field last year in the Tour. They talked about it beforehand during the stage.

Not to the point of selling the tour, something as mundane as the "I won't attack you on a mechanical/crashes" (but will on other favourites riders) can already change quite a lot. Imo, collusion during the race is different than one made a month before, it's still minor point compared to contract negotiation during the tour, where there is strong pressure on some riders, mostly domestiques, to favour future team interest over current.

Those guys chose that local because it's historically been void of testers. National anti-doping agencies don't have the funds to send testers to far flung destinations and they know that.

This will make you  Cyclingnews posted:A little aside from the racing. Belkin rider Jos van Emden chose that midway up the Monte Grappa yesterday was the right time to propose to his girlfriend. He climbed off his bike and proposed to her at the side of the road. Fortunately she said yes and he finished well within the time cut. Here is the moment captured on camera.
