Meanwhile at Lotto Jumbo

Apparently Lobato and another rider had to be rushed to hospital after being found in an absolute state after guzzling sleeping pills

This is an old school training camp. None of this inhaler nonsense

Surely not performance enhancing then...

It was a liquid with a dropper rather than pills.

TLJ deciding on whether to sack them all. Lobato was out for the count and they couldn’t wake him up.

Much the same as during the season, then.

Has Tony Martin posted about his anger on social media yet?

Thijs Zonneveld has said that Lobato has ridden his last race for Lotto Jumbo.

So, the two Dutch lads get to keep their seats on the Jumbo bus, while the Spaniard gets a close up view of the bus's axles?

Sounds like Lobato was the dealer. The two Dutch lads are very young.

Update on the Lotto riders. Tolhoek and Eenhoorn are suspended for two months and have also been fined an undisclosed amount. The Spaniard Lobato has had his contract cancelled.

Lobato should know bettter and the drugs he took indicates a bigger problem (see Rich's Gaumont reference)

The young Dutchies could be saved.

What a jackass
