I hope he is placed in prison.
Lee Turner’s comments make me want to puke.

More encouraging is the reactions he prompted in the replies.

I want to say that one of the cycling youtube channels did a story about him.... mostly about his kits. My inital reaction was that it was GCN, but now that I think about it more I don't think it was, maybe cycling maven or something. The dude has like thousands of retro kits in closets all over his house. I'm pretty sure that the same guy.

Found it..

From looking at Lee Turner's kit collection, he obviously is in love with the peak of the EPO doping era.

Cipollini looks like a roided out, chemically enhanced 50 year old these days. Why am I not surprised by his actions?

perhaps we need a "PRO BS & gossip" thread, because what both Cipo's private life legal issues, and this Lee Whoever person have to do with pro racing completely escapes me :noidea:

That cop waiting on the side was useless too in not yelling at the guy to wake up.
Sad to see this kind of thing wreck a Pro's plans

I usually really like Tirreno as a race, but lets face it the same out and back TTT in the same place every year is getting pretty freakin' boring anyway. Maybe these incidents could be the catalyst for leaving Lido di Camaiore behind for a few seasons at least.

Wow that iped in tirreno is next level..

Lucky no serious injuries reported to him or the bora boys.

And Mitchelton Scott just misses a dog/woman as well.

Just poor marshalling and organisation when you have two incidents of the same type.

They are there to prevent stupidity from turning into serious incidents.
