I'm going to Tuscany in a few weeks time. Can't wait to get some nice KOMs, especially that last climb.

The UCI tried to avoid Contador getting caught. They never learn.
How did you come to that conclusion?

The report didn't find any cover-up though, and the "favourable treatment" seems to be that they - the UCI - travelled to Spain to tell him about his sample. Hardly shocking, if that's all there is to it.

Why would they be allowed a Continental one if they are all full of EPO?

Yeah, saw that, but I still don't understand why they can apply. Are the doping rules for Continental teams different from the WorldTour?

Still, funny as gently caress, but I'm pretty sure this saga won't be over in a good while.

Is that Boasson behind there? Apparently he fell over and hit some sort of pole, successfully breaking his collarbone. Didn't see it on the telly but it looks like it could be it.

Impressed by Degenkolb today. I knew he was tough but didn't think he'd bridge the gap to the front that easily. And when he did, we all knew he had it in the bag. I'm just mad that Roelandts didn't make me a millionaire today.

I like the sound of that. Hopefully this means that most manufacturers will offer road bikes with disc brakes next year.

Hm, what's happened to Bert? He's suddenly in the back with a number of team mates around him. Some sort of technical?


e: my brain can't do two things at once, I was writing an email which included the word technical so naturally my brain changed the wording in the post from mechanical to technical

They've started climbing and Contador has already distanced all of his team mates. Apparently he's only 39 secs behind the front and he started around 50 secs behind at the foot of the climb.
