You are having snow sooner than us in Helsinki, not even bit yet.

It's not hiding, it's giving the rider a chance to prove their innocence, which is their right. If they make a doc about that, it's just an excuse to get publicity.
There are plenty of people who will jump to blaming riders at first news and will not change their mids even if they are acquitted.

Yes, but you can't win with those types. If you make it public and it ends up being sickness then there will be articles questioning that and casting doubt on the rider. I font think the image would not be improved one bit.

I disagree, the teams need to follow the correct prosedure (e.g. in this case not race the rider), but it doesn't need to be public. We fans can wait a few months for the results of the hearings.

But if the team will make it public, that just incentivises the rider not to tell the team, incase they hope they can explain it to the disciplinary committee. Then the team is blindsighted and rider gets to start their "ban" later, a loose-loose situation.

Untill now I don't think Movistar has had a particularly bad reputation regarding doping. But if things start to pile now that could change. They at least have to hope there is nothing more coming.

Yesh, tramadol is still a bad look, he was dq:d from that Tour.

And they signed Hessmann too (I don't think he is particularly problematic, he served his sentence, but image wise it could add up)

Yep, top 4 and all stage winners disqualified because they rode part of the route in trains 😅😂

Probably. Imo skip UAE Tour, maybe skip Dauphine or switch it to another race. Otherwise pretty much the same.
If Jonas goes to Giro-Tour it leaves Vuelta pretty open (👀)

The Itzulia 2021 stage was of course legendary, great co-operation. Don't know if there has been much other contact between them. Why?

It's one of my favourite races and I didn't even watch it. I was busy and then when I was just supposed to start watching, Pogi went solo and it was game over, so I didn't even bother 🫣

I watched every finish from 2019 to 2023 (at least highlights) this morning. So many great finals 😮💨

Although I don't really know if the amount if GC leaders will neccessarily be a problem for Finn. It's not like he will be a GC leader for at least two more years and by then plenty of the current GC riders are out of contract and some will probably leave.

If Bora has not locked Finn in a multi-year contract yet (officially he only has one year contract, but unofficial is another thing), he could be a good future prospect.

Odd years usually belong to him 🤞🍀
But I'm worried, this year already had some breaking of streaks (for example the GT stage win every year since 2016 streak was broken 💔😪) so my trust has been shattered 😬

It's likely the joint strongest team with UAE in the race. UAE have probably the biggest pre-race favourite in del Toro and good support (Yates, Vine, Majka...) for him.

Me too. Usually there are some rumours beforehand, this came out of nowhere.

Yes it's not widespread sentiment, most are just surprised
