Suspect they are in the process of winding down.

Angry ex-girlfriends are also an excellent source of news on anyone doping.

Exactly. Carmen whats-her-name only got 2 years for EPO!

It must be quite a serious violation or a repeat offender to get a 4 year suspension.

And by buying a super expensive "team edition" bike.

So what are you supposed to do when you encounter a pothole at +50km/h. Grit teeth?

A rider crouches on top of the top bar with their legs under them during a decent, IE a substantial part of their weight sits on the pedals. He didn't go through a pothole on his descent, there are none currently on the Sandton drive mineshaft.

And no jumps???? Good luck with that

Keep in mind that he was clipped in at the time so only part of his weight would have been sitting on the top tube. The thought of riding a frame that is so borderline would make me nervous. What happens if you hit a pothole or something like that?

Or sitting on the top tube while in the starting pen. Half the guys are doing that.

Sitting on the top bar while waiting and sitting on it to settle the head set are hardly unusual too. Sounds like they are making the carbon too thin to get the weight of the aero models down. Makes you wonder if they should raise the 6.8kg limit for aero models?

Doping in professional sport should be punished by a little bit of prison time, it is fraud after all. Suspect that would make many think twice.

Focus on your pedal stroke to smooth out the power values. IE. up and over then scraping the mud off your shoe.

Maybe more of a "non/limited-competitive event" rather than a race, open to all categories. Perhaps there is a term for this, gran fondo?
