Very "diplomatic". Probably not a good idea to piss all the Spanish riders off, especially the climbers, if you're after a GT podium though. The power of omerta is still strong.

You would see Valverde ripping up a race and winning, and Contador was the same in spite of everything that has been hanging over him for the last year. He's clearly a strong character inside.Contador is the Greatest0

Quite a contrast with his words about dopers 5 years ago.

A tad selective FF.the decision has been made and I think it was the right decision for the sportHe won't leave a massive void at the Tour in terms of the racing
Of course, the comparison with Valverde could be seen as less than flattering....Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

5 years ago he probably wasn't worried about getting battered around the Pyrenees by every Spanish rider in the peloton.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

But at least he says Contador wont be missed as far as the racing goes, of course that's just his point of view, but saying the ban is good for the sport and saying the racing will be good is a positive stance.0 -
Biking Bernie will be along shortly to cite this as conclusive evidence that Wiggins is doping.0

Should be an interesting column to follow. I like hearing about what pro riders are doing in their build ups to their big targets so this should be a good read. I just hope it's not too sporadic in that we get a few updates on a reasonably regular basis.0

I have heard tell that Mr Wiggins isn't the most reliable of sorts when it comes to this kind of thing (possibly a tweet by Richard Moore or Will Fotheringham?), so enjoy it while it lasts is my suggestion...point your handlebars towards the heavens and sweat like you're in hell0
