Quickstep bus seized. Surely even if they were doping they wouldnt have been stupid enough to just pack it on the bus?!

    I reckon with a couple of thousand euro's you could make a "secret" compartment/fridge in the bus somewhere..

    Would be completely nuts if they did find something and the whole team was kicked off the tour...

    I bet they've got something hidden under the floor of the bus. Those "Click-Fitting" floor boards are easy to lift and lay again !!!!

    Surely anyone involved with that will know there is a chance that the authorities know who else was involved with vansevenant and be being very careful?

    Before we get carried away, they haven't actually done anything wrong yet, it is simply a suspicion. Maybe they just didn't have an insurance disk...

    Seems like in France they are stopping and searching any team cars, trucks and vans hoping to find doping substances.

    Perhaps the Police are looking for cocaine and dubiously young girls?

    Is there any truth in the reports that Rick Chasey is currently staging a daring 'spring' from a Vandee police parking lot?

    Remember they stopped johnny schleck and searched him during a stage.

    That said, all these searches are just PR. I bet they know the square root of f all

    I've got a vision: team hotel on the first rest day, new soigneur Donal MacIntyre begins his first massage of the day, talk quickly turns to the star riders preparation :shock:
