    Incidentally, some years ago I vaguely knew doctored Haggis who worked on inhalers. I think he was a climber rather than cycler though.

    I have 3 stars but don't know how you make a star....

    Demoted to ★★ for technical incompetence.

    Sorry, I don't make the rules*

    Must be a relief for Froome to discover the tests were wrong just for him on that one and not any other day or for any other rider and that his kidneys didn't fail while he attacked to try to take every jersey during his second grand tour win of the year.

    Possibly a different one ;). I'm ★★ stars and a half. PhD, several research papers in a hard science including computational models, but not on pharmacokinetics. My extra half star comes from being an asthmatic that carries a salbutamol inhaler on his pockets for his rides. Surely that must count for something! Skim-reading the paper didn't seem too difficult, either.

    I've got one star, but my Mum gave me a special gold star because I was such a good boy

    Contador's form that whole tour was poor despite riding a decent prologue. Yes he won initially, but everyone expected it to be much easier.

    Are you able to provide an example of where prologue form correlated with a GT result?

    I would like to see Contador make a comeback he's only 35.

    He's just taken a Strava KOM apparently.

    Wow, still on it then. It would be great to see all the experienced pros beating guys in their twenties.

    Is Strava subject to WADA out of competition testing regs?
