    Gaudu :D . Just looks so good on bike. Consummate professional and a product of the French anti doping stance from 1998 helped along by riders like Chava and JC Peraud etc. Doing it the right way is possible. It paid off

    The Cofidis scandal was in 2004. Someone from Groupama was busted just this year.

    French riders are all clean. Therefore all non French riders winning french races must be dirty, non? Quelle blague.

    What a waste of time.

    Neutered by weather protocol, yet almost everybody rode the single climb without arm or leg warmers, unlike in Yorkshire.
    Roglic winning the bunch sprint, after nobody could be much arsed to even try to attack.

    This race needs to be dropped from the WT in favour of the Tour of the Alps. For too long the organizers have complacently followed their stale formula, which offers so little incentive to ride in any other manner other than conservatively.
