Will anyone make a doc about it?

Will probably be presented by that "Doc" who was on strictly come dancing, he seems to be on any TV programme going these days

That's quite a large percentage of the field.

Tough race?

Tough race?

Could be seeing that it's the third year in a row that only 30% of riders finished....but the doping story makes it sound better 😁

Tough race?

Hookless rims?

Interesting quotes from Wot Poels saying that Cortina and Quintana punched him in the Volta a Catalunya in separat incidents. They were fined a small amount.
Wout had responded to Nairo saying he must be on the Tramadol again. Apparently Geraint Thomas supported Poels on his podcast saying that Quintana was an " Effing little rat"

Now I'm no tough guy, but even I would have very little fear of being punched by Nairo.

Lizzy Banks cleared of "intent", but quits the sport anyway:

This is an intriguing story. I admit to being very biased because I like Lizzy Banks very much. She's medically trained (I believe she completed most of a medicine degree before concentrating on cycling).

It would seem WADA and UKAD are the biggest doping gits of all! Who knew there are no minimums for some substances despite known risks of contamination detection increasing as labs improve and pharma factories get worse? Or that a positive for a tiny amount of a banned substance turns a permitted limited amount of a prescribed med into a second positive? I didn't.

It's totally astonishing.
