www.cycling4all.com have done some interesting analysis of how clean teams are.

So the top 4 teams are all French.................but CSC would've been top spot if it weren't for Riis. Bottom of the class, Euskatel and Lampre.

Lends weight to the "cyclisme a deux vitesse" that French riders have long complained about.

That would back up the French teams claims about their cleanliness.

Looks good that and does pan out how we would all assume it would.

It's interesting to see that an un-named, but well known, rider has emailed Wim van Rossum supporting his stance on doping;

Additionally, the French teams may feel they don't need internal independent controls as the federation controls are strict - hence this system gives them a lower score than they deserve!

I noticed that too - Wonder who is could be?

The sheer volume of useful information that site gathers amazes me.

cycling4all seems very spot on. I like the analysis and their pointing out of the state of affairs that rides behind the peleton in the team cars. Why should we respectex- riders fromk totally dodgy bakgrounds?
