There’s some cross country skiing related rumors swirling about. Alluded to before.
At the mo’sconfidential still.

Didn’t some Austrian guy get caught in the act of shooting up a few months ago?

“alleged” :grinning:

Elaborate please.

There’s rumors about a link.

Good highlights show here on Quest. Quest is great for sport.

Bologna is beautiful. I must visit.

It’s lovely

Lads, I clipped the side of my tyre on Sat which caused the wall to tear. It didn’t blow, TG, but it needs replacement. Any thoughts on a good replacement… Schwalbe? Michelin?

Schwalbe all day long. Marathon plus or durano depending on what bike you’re riding.

+1 on the Duranos

Luganos?

I wouldn’t . The Durano is far superior

Young Dunbar has had a great Giro 22nd overall. The GC looks like a shootout in the TT on Sunday between Carapaz, the shark and Roglic. Roglic should win the TT but I don’t think he’s going to make up 2:16.

Froome is out of the Tour de France. Crashed on a training ride this morning and broke his leg.

Heard on the radio last night that was Sam Bennet had the most stage wins this year but didn’t get a spot on either the Giro or Le Tour.
Seems ridiculous.

He is (well was anyway) on the same team as Sagan, who has won the green jersey for the last few years so Bennett never gets a ride in the Tour de France.

Can you only bring one sprinter? Or is it that teams can only support one sprinter and by bringing two you take away from the support?

Not only that but he is on a German team, Bora. They went with their young German sprinter, Ackermann in the Giro. He won a couple of stages and the points jersey. Bennett was very pissed off and there were rumours of his changing team mid year. Sagan is having a bad season. If he wants to he’ll be on the Tour team to the detriment of Bennett. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sagan skips the Tour. Will see.
