  1. The ban is there to punish the convict...no salary for 2 or 4 years! 

     

    Coming back after that must be hell of a difficult...you must have thick skin, because everyone suspects you are back on the needle.

     

    People push the boundaries @ work, relationships, traffic rules etc. 

     

    Once you are above "re"approach, you wont be from this world anymore.

     

    Edit: spelling :)

  2. Could not agree more - using NordVPN and watching the Tour of the Alps as I am typing this. Perfect quality - could not be happier! Ok I am lying - if Chris Froom was only doing a bit better I would be even more happier. Ah well - love all the cycling!!

    now you made me log in...and I have a mountain to finish ;)

  3. Seems like the logical next step ...

    Dura Ace wireless 12/13 speed with current Di2 filtering to 105. :D

    That said, while these lower tier options are cheaper, they are slowly moving further and further from the average man's budget.

    We may soon be riding Tiagra again ...

    I was impressed with Tiagra 10spd, function and feel(its been two years and not a missed shift, even with the 9spd RD)...previously had 9spd tiagra from 2004.

  4. What p1sses me off even more than the guys getting caught and serving a ban is the current attitude of certain sponsors in SA.

    After said doper has served their ban there seem to be sponsors in SA that have no problem welcoming them back in the fold.

    Surely there are enough clean talented cyclist out there to use as the face of your product/business than a previously banned doper.

    I for one will NEVER use,buy or support anyone in the cycling trade that sponsors or uses a previously banned doper in their advertising.

    Yes they are around currently in road and Mtb.

    my 2 C

    you know that you get a tax rebate for employing a previous convicted felon?

  5. Hope that Gibbo can defend his title. With last year being such a disruptive year, he can at least get a decent chance to show it off.

    That said, think it is going to be difficult as teams like Pro Touch are going to a have a full compliment which could prove difficult for the likes of Gibbo and Willie Smit.

    I'm sure Willie will be there to close any gaps for Ryan.
