    Shame.

    2012 Gabrovski, 2013 Sayer - maybe next year don't invite that team.

    Organisers said they are the only team not in the bio passport and could force them to join as a condition of letting them in the race.

    They still need to sh*t and I've not seen many en suite bathrooms in the Canadian wilderness.

    Compostable toilets are all the rage nowadays.

    Was that the stage that Big Maggie was commentating and more or less saying it was an unbelievable performance as it was happening?

    You could just tell him and Dave Harmon were looking at each other with eyebrows raised during the long silences on commentary that day. You could tell everybody knew.

    I respect @marcelkittel a huge amount for never being scared of saying what he thinks. He is a role model. And his hair? Incredible.

    Matt Brammeier ‏@Mattbrammeier85 3h
    Was riding next to Mustafa Sayar last week thinking "damn, I'm going to ride tour of turkey next year, think I can win, this guy is a joke"
    He was sweating and suffering like a tourist. Out of the race after 2 days. Chapeau. Adios Mustafa

    Very disappointing especially as he looked matt rendal in the eyes and said he was a clean and credible winner.

    Postive for EPO

    Surprised?
    The Cycling News forum probably is. They thought it was very unfair for the likes of Marcel Kittel to point fingers at him.
    Not one to defend the madhouse, and having now reading the posts from during the race, the first post in reply was about sky. The shock.

    But there is a point, albeit a blunt one given it took some serious excavation to just find anything coherent; as usual in a he doped she doped insinuation convo. The Kittels and Brammeiers are very quick to get angry about random Asians (read Iranians and Kazakhs) and Turks being dirty without a positive. Yet, where were the similar reactions when Vini Fantini were tearing up the Giro before the positive tests? All I remember was outrage after the positives and the secret whore having an "I knew it all" moment but never speaking of it.

    To be fair to Kittel he's always pretty consistent in calling out dodgy performances.

    Sayar's performance was always a bit dodgy looking but it was never on the level of the previous year. The field wasn't crammed full of top climbers and besides I thought EPO was synonymous with high cadence riding not grinding a massive gear! :lol:

    Damn, the Sean Penn looking guy?

    I remember the explanation for the massive gear was he used to be a mountain biker (Seriously) All mountain bikers whomp about in massive gears like Bjarne Riis don't they?...

    Sayar also finished 3rd from last in the Tour of Turkey the previous year.

    He was popped for EPO in the race BEFORE Turkey - although if it's taken this long to get the result, won't be surprised if his Turkey tests also come back positive (eventually).
