    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Cipo has some serious questions to answer on the assault charges, and should feel the full force of the law if found guilty, but that Cycling Tips article is straw clutching at times.

    Yes I read about this the other day but didn't realise he was up for assaulting another woman too.

    The Cycling Tips article is kind of linking past indiscretions to suggest the signs were always there that he was a wrong 'un. Not sure what I make of that - never met the man - assuming these charges stick I suppose it will make us have to look at incidents like the bottle chucking in a different light. I think most had previously viewed such antics as slightly comedic and he probably has been given a pass on his sexism because he's Cipo. Charisma always makes people judge less harshly and maybe inaccurately.

    Hopefully he does receive both the right punishment and the right help to address his problems.

    Hopefully he's judged fairly before people benevolently decide he should have the the right support and punishment.

    Sexism isnt illegal. Even in PC Britain.

    He once got thrown out of the Vuelta for punching another rider in the face at registration

    No, but people shouldn't feel comfortable being an arsehole.

    The man pioneered the yellow jersey, yellow shorts, yellow bike look. How many more signs do you need?
    Speaking of Italian charisma, he is not worthy to be Copi's anagram.
