Isn't it.
Yes Xena, I do know how Ventolin works. I actually know a bit about asthma. What you don't get is that my observations of what Ventolin does for my son, is NOT science. It is an observation/perception. There are zero quantifiable facts in my observations.
How about you just stop the destruction of this thread and release the rest of us from your tirade of petulant behaviour and mindless rants. It is painfully obvious that you have no boundaries and give no thought to other people or their opinions, unless they agree with you. By the way re your last PM, yet again I could not fathom the logic behind it. If it was meant to be insulting it was a fail.

Wiggins did an interview (with the author of "My Time") accompanied by a sad face : ( portrait on the front of The Guardian.
As an appeal to the the benefit of the doubt, it did a good job.
Of interest, was that in it he described his allergies as something he didn't know wether or not he would be impacted by - which implies the pre-GT injections were preventative - which is actually AFAIK not permitted as a TUE. So clearly the rules/processes really need to be tightened.
An issue i think is that Sky set up (with their GB TdF winer goal) two years pre-Armstrong confession - so doping wasn't perceived the same.
Sky also made a big point about how the stripe down the back of their kit was "the line" and they will go up to the line but never cross (re: doping).
In this context, - as well as what Tim Kerrison has said in press conferences about defining a clean rider as someone "within the rules" - the somewhat questionable TUES fit very well.
I wonder if the 2017 kit will have the stripe down the back

Lombardy is a great race and it was a great win by Chaves today. Orica must be very happy with the upward trajectory of the team. Colombian cycling's getting stronger by the year.

an EPIC Lombardia, as often when its route is around Bergamo (ok I'm a little biased on this because I like these climbs
)

Apparently the Venge Vias can disintegrate "spontaneously" , and Specialized has issued a stop sales and recover any rim brake Vias statement.
Fortunately, there may not be that many to recover. The hate is strong.

Wout Van Aert... 3 races, three mechanicals. This time in the second to last corner, which cost him the possibility to sprint for the win against Mathieu van der Poel.

Was a great race! Finally someone to challenge him again. Last few corners where really on the max including the uphill sprint next to each other. V Aert seems to have mechanicals to often, is it the price of his way of racing, or just bad shifting before dismounting for a walking phase.
The part worth re watching:
https://twitter.com/GazetteDesSport/sta ... 60/video/1Bouhanni wins Tour de Vendée, but the real reason of posting this is Samuel Dumoulin behind him celebrating:
He won de season long Coupe De France competition.
