Critérium du Dauphiné 2-9 June [spoilers]

Not, going on his performances.

As if cheating by itself was a guarantee of success.

If he suddenly gets loads better come the tour it's going to look as fishy as a barrel of cod.

You do know what Clenbuterol is used for tho don't you? And that it is a banned substance. And you are not being an apologist for Dirty Bertie? He is an unrepentant drug cheat - end of. Anything he does or did is of no value.

I feel about Contador much the same as I felt about Vinokourov. They may be unrepentant cheats, and I'll never be able to wholeheartedly root for them because of that, but I love the way they race. I never felt the same way about Lance.

Every time I see them I just think "cheating bast**ds" and lose interest in the racing - they are cheats, end of.

 

[smutchin]

Fair enough. Can't argue with that!

Just looking at the results... with four in the top ten yesterday and four in the top six overall, I have to wonder... are Sky the only team taking this race seriously?

 

[Andrew Br]

Thomas who looks better every race he runs.

They've got him running now ?
Is that so he doesn't fall off his bike ?

Yes I know what you mean, there's something about LA that just makes me want to puke these days

 

[Zofo]

Wow --they're sprinting at the back of the peloton just to keep up with 20k to go!
