That's the one with the grid start - meaning upper GC guys start without their teams... should be interesting.

Froome starts, Froome wins. I think its going to a very dull out come.

Anything but!

 

The giro-tour double is never going to be a foregone conclusion

Has to be a bit of drama in the week leading up to the TDF .....6f9ec2eb462c8903a7e4c7177140b0d4.jpg

With this case unless an official statement is released i have doubts about everything coming put of the news..but if this is true..

 

[emoji102] well this sure is going to be an interesting week..that they are going through with it means they have a lot of confidence in the legal part of things...dropping it late on Sky means that Sky also don't have a lot of time to prepare an appeal.

Sounds like a lot of hot air so that ASO look good/in a better position or feel they have the moral high ground when Froome signs in on stage 1

Remember Richard Virenque?

 

From Wiki:

 

Race director Jean-Marie Leblanc banned Virenque from the 1999 Tour de France but was obliged to accept him after a ruling by the Union Cycliste Internationale.[19] Lichfield wrote in The Independent:

 

"The sport of road-race cycling (and it may not be the only one) is like an alcoholic, refusing to accept that it has a problem, as long as it drinks in secrecy. That fact was shamefully proved once again this week when the sport's governing body — the International Cycling Union (UCI) - forced the 1999 Tour to accept Richard Virenque... The baby-faced Virenque faces possible criminal charges of drug-taking and drug-trafficking. Despite his denials, French judicial investigators say they have documentary evidence that he has been doping himself for years. The Tour said last month that he was 'not welcome.' The UCI insisted on Tuesday that he must ride. The Tour gave way. So much for ethical purity."

Cycling Weekly in Britain called it "a major blow" to the Tour's organisers.[22] Leblanc said he hoped Virenque would not win.[23][n 9]

Wonder if ASO made any changes to their rule to make it more legally binding.[emoji848]
