Not many PTP takers for the Alberto-Slam. So many faces to this race....a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0

The canaries (and goldfinches) Contador has at home he breeds personally. Meticulous and humble.
What on earth are you talking about? I thought this was a cycling website.
He breeds them personaly? Surely thats illegal, or at least anatomicaly very difficult. :?:
Good job you quoted mr mikey (he is perma blocked) as that was worth half a chuckle.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Aparently I am on block by Frenchie, what an achievement. 0 -

Boom is out of Astana's team because the MPCC has said he's too tired or whatever their daft rule is.
I suppose they can replace him. I suppose Astana don't have the luxury of telling the MPCC to get stuffed.
Nope.

Actually - dunno -google translate is gibberishAs every year, the MPCC (Movement for a credible cycling) asked the UCI to communicate cortisone levels found throughout the peloton during checks made by the international federation before the start of the Tour. A collapsed cortisol was seen in Lars Boom, the Dutch team Astana. In accordance with Regulation MPCC, the Kazakh team was notified of control tonight and he was asked to remove Boom, teammate of the winner of 2014 Tour Vincenzo Nibali, its starting list.
Recall that collapsed rate does not mean that the rider is doped. It may for example result from a drug treatment that has been the subject of a TUE (Therapeutic Use Authorization). This is not a doping offense and only voluntary compliance with rules by MPCC Astana requires the team to withdraw his runner, the aim being to preserve his health.
Alexandre Vinokourov asked by telephone to the international federation to make the replacement (for Italian Alessandro Vanotti) but the leaders refused, arguing that the decision came after the team managers' meeting. Now the Kazakh manager will not go with 8 runners. "Or the UCI allows us to replace Boom, or share it with us. So much for the MPCC, "he told us this evening.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

To be clear, as reported by L'Equipe, Vino says Astana either replace Lars Boom with another rider or they start with Boom & leave MPCC“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -
According to Inner Ring, Vino has said that if he's not allowed a replacement (Vanotti) he'll start with Boom.Actually - dunno -google translate is gibberish

Have to be honest Rick, no one has mentioned Boom to me yet - heard plenty about the other dutchies but not him. I don't think it ll make much difference
6 o'clock news spent 10 mins on him and he's the cobbled guy!!
He broke the 10 year drought last year.0 -

Gruber does it again:
MTN have had that hand print on their back just for the Pyrenees and Alps. They could have married it up with a sign saying "please push here".0 -
This shot was taken by a trained yellow finch. post of the pre Tour so far. 0 -
Well I dislike Boom as you know but once again this goes to show what stupid rules there are.
100% they should field him and leave the MPCC. Bardiani had a rider off at the start of the Giro and still fielded him.
Not that this looks good for Astana though.Contador is the Greatest0 -
