Having my best season ever for cycling betting (alas, that is not saying much !)

Picks are Slagter & Betancur.

By the way, anyone know what is up with Dan Martin ?

The allergies have come back. He did also hurt is knee.

Gilbert will take FW as well.

Michal Kwiatkowski. This is less tactical a race than Amstel. Combined with the shorter distance he's my guy.

thank fukk, this was a ridiculous case...

Away from Flèche Wallonne, the UCI has just announced that Michael Rogers (Tinkoff-Saxo) will not be suspended for his positive test for clenbuterol at the Japan Cup last year. Although the Australian has been stripped of that victory, he will not serve a ban as the UCI “found that that there was a significant probability that the presence of clenbuterol may have resulted from the consumption of contaminated meat from China – where he had taken part in a race before travelling to Japan.” The full story will follow on Cyclingnews shortly.

[Tinea Pedis]

Jonathan Breyne's fate known?

Poor guy was suicidal. Hopefully he's cleared too.

Tinea Pedis I can tell you are racing guys using Tramadol in Aus. It really wasn't hidden a few years back.

[nathanong87]

how can mick rogers be cleared, but his victory still stripped... maybe I'm missing something?

[hotshot]

UCI rules state automatic DQ if test pos as he still raced with it in his system.
I heard that Jonathan Breyne got 2 years from the authorities in Belgium but should have his suspension ended as well. China is just too dodgy with clen.
here is Rogers statement.

[petepeterson]

Is Mick Rogers still under contract with Tinkov?

[petepeterson]

Is anyone happy the Valverde won? He seems to have zero fans in the media or public outside spain.

[Leviathan]

Name me any of the Spanish or Italian riders who get a lot of fans outside of their countries. Exclude Purito, hes catalan!
