Will he win the tour again this year?

Does anyone actually take professional cycling serious? As in does anyone believe that these guys aren't on all sorts of drugs?

I've followed the sport for the last 30 years so unlikely to stop now. Might go to the Vuelta again, northern Spain is superb.
TDF - a wee ew interest in Dan Martin and Roglic with Froome to win it.

Football is supposedly rife with doping. I'll not switch off the world cup either.

They're just Junkies on bikes if you ask me.

I used to love it, but I gave up wasting my time watching it years ago. Can't believe any of it.

It is what it is & I watch it in that frame of mind.

I enjoy watching it and it never crosses my mine if they are juiced up or not. Btw i was at the nationals yesterday and seeing only 34 finished it I reckon they had no special TUE.

Tennis, atheltics, boxing to name a few sports that are currently worse than cycling for drugs.

Everyone at the top of cycling is at it. Re boxing and tennis, 100% of say the top 100 in the world doping you reckon??

Spent the past week on holiday in Co Waterford, was on the bike every day, up and down the Copper coast & a couple of mountains on the Comeragh route. Stunning holiday - the Mediterranean weather was unreal.

No better place than ireland to cycle when the weather is good.
