Another doping fail...seems Astana & doping still go hand in hand...

Brothers in arms. So when do the fingers start pointing at organised team doping on Astana?

[ultyguy]

So what happens when Maxim has to go to his national body and refute what is most likely a fairly new epo test? Probably another Kreuziger situation.

Bet this one ends up at the CAS.

Can't really see Astana fulfilling their MPCC commitments and sit out Tour of Almaty on home turf?

[MarkGiardini]

I wonder how many times Vino had to practice saying his comment "“I am very disappointed and angered that this rider could not have understood the basis of our rules and the importance of our ethics.” before he could say it without laughing!

I wonder if Astana will take the high road... or the SKY road.

MPCC? What MPCC?

[tymon_tm]

Iglinsky clearly violated Astana rules since he got caught

[Kjetil]

It incorporates front Disc too.

Well a lefty fork that incorporates anything buy disc brakes that would be some real innovation

May I suggest a drum brake?

[MattSoutherden]

Drum brakes - because braking on carbon rims in the wet just wasn't bad enough...

Vino was innocent. It was his dog, or his father testing positive for Vodka, or something.

So the sliver of the EPO drug still plays hide and seek in the peloton.

I fail to understand how some of them can be so confident to administer the drug themselves. Team of-course had nothing to do with it as didn't know, so they publicly suspended MI. So he's managing an AWOL medical programme all to himself. OMG. Either that or there are Ferrari like Doctors still out there. Jobs for Moto Man must still exist.

On a completely different note, but still 'pro'

Fence tap front flip????

Amazing stuff by macaskill.

[dereksmalls]

^^^ That whole video is farkin sick as!

[wingguy]

Fence tap front flip????

You can see it's a direct evolution of the closing trick in 'Epecuen' where he front flipped off a ramp and tire tapped a loose signpost on the way through. Now he's hopping from flat and using the tyre tap as the impetus for the flip. Unreal.

Videos like that, taking trials into trails, makes me realise that I honestly don't know how to ride a bike!

[BdaGhisallo]

Is my memory failing me? Didn't Danny M have a really bad accident that put him in a wheelchair? Or am I thinking of another tricks/trials rider?
