    That's not right.

    And he's not broken his collarbone for about 2 years now.

    Good to see Nibali doing something too.

    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    Wow - Good find Afx

    It was a proper attack and everything. He's won a stage in every race he's entered this year

    Evans showed talent in 2002... he's taken steps up 2 levels since and that could be a sign he is talented and not doped. Drugs only do one level of a jump I think-unless new products are out-which there aren't unless genetic doping has arrived.

    Cadel does look like the product of the Royston Vasey selective breeding programme

    Did you ever wonder what happened to Herr Lippfrom LoG?

    I think he took over running the Giro

    EPO , Steiroids to become pro leaves no options to improve to lead 02 Giro

    Such doping starting after Giro 2002 means follower at Grand tours in 07

    so if he wins big this year , I reckon he is clean...as 3 steps can't be taken with the same products, only talent at one of both stages...I think he is a good cyclist and poss clean look

    Which year was it when he was at Telekom and led the Giro for a long time?

    he blew up completely..and since taken 3 steps of progress those products could only assist one such step of with an expert Dr

    He was with Mapei when he lead the Giro, and it was only for a single stage. I think you'll find!]

    once you've hit turbo and have no other...then you can't go any faster..properly medicated by a good Dr...the doping programme works once only IMO. Tyler may well have been clean as a career plan till he got to TDF domestique level, otherwise what's the point...save the turbo for when you are already close, no...? Sinkewtiz on the other hand was on stuff as a junior...but looks like he was not on a properly organised regime of doping like some..compare that with Fuentes schedule for the rider alleged to be Tyler-very professionally organised...EPO on Xmas day sticks in mind..assuming it is Tyler, which we don't yet know

    lol :D search velonews...shows the depth of planning involved...3 week training blocks..to be honest I think EPO use should perhaps give a life ban ..you keep the benefits to some extent as have been able to double training loads and will have permanent gains from it once off it
