The dark side of granfondo riding, racing among the chancers and former pros.

I remember the diary entry from last year and how its desperate tone captured the sense of someone trying to cling to the dream:

I thought of Contador's head injury when I read it.

Iainf72,
As usual, you are missing the key indicators for identifying dopers. Saul is an English-speaking WASP, racing for a French team and is therefore above suspicion. Contador , on the other hand is a swarthy Spanish-speaking foreigner, racing for Team Evil , USA, and obviously hoovering up the contents of the local Pharmacy as we type.

I do wish you'd pay attention

Sorry, I got confused because he's got his own line of wrist bands and I though they were a sure sign of the dark side?

Unless they're lame and say "make dopers history" or whatever it is.
