What happened to High Road in the final stage of Paris Nice? 8 DNF's out of their team of 9 riders!

Cor, leaving it up to a guy called Morris to finish.

So, flights to catch.

Or ill.

Or a bit rubbish.

Or a combo of all three.

Unless they're about to have some kind of doping scandal.....

They rode well in T-A today and are the top-ranked team. Maybe they just sent a rubbish squad to P-N to avoid some of their good riders being banned by the UCI

Hard to know if it's the other teams who've been shown up or Slipstream? They had Trent Lowe in lead group.. The non ACE/Damsgard tested outfits leave me wondering now...Slipstream are perhaps more real

I'm sure that I saw three High Road riders cross the finish at 3.30 in a group of 14 riders (led by 4 Cofidis riders) yet only 10 riders are shown as finishing at this time. Perhaps my eyes deceive me??

Or maybe they came in incognito in case they get disqualified by Herr McQuaid for taking part.

I'm sure I saw that too - at least I remember seeing at least two guys in white jerseys with rididiclous cartoon writing on them....
