DSM got poo poo on by absolutely everyone for letting Hirschi go (and Kelderman and others before them.) Now they're just trying to stir up poo poo so it looks like they have a reason. Like, come on, why would THEY agree to an NDA and not the other way around. That suggests that they had zero control over the entire situation and that Hirschi was in the driver's seat. If they've got evidence of Hirschi using PEDs or anything, they wouldn't just let him walk into UAE's open arms.

To be fair this is 100% rumours and conjecture from a Dutch journalist who won't name sources.

After taking the leader's jersey and a stage win, MvdP and A-F are out of the UAE tour due to a covid positive

Pretty funny that we're now getting to the races with two back to back editions with COVID impacts, and by funny I mean

Giro route is out. https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/giro-ditalia-2021-route-revealed/ Surprising lack of TT, but the stage to Cortina d'Ampezzo looks fun. Bit bold of them to go across the border to Switzerland, too.

oh dang that's cool wonder why though, with their TT skills i have to imagine Roglic/Pogacar will be doing the Tour unless one of them plans on the double

Huh. Didn't see that one coming. I would have thought that hands in the drops would render that a "stable" position, but I guess it fits their bill.

I guess it's meant to be for descending and he has his arms in the drops? I assume the commisares will decide to act depending on if he beats a home favourite.

Or he's a nazi or something Its probably nothing, but hes disappeared since the story broke about him not being able to answer certain questions. Full conspiracy theory me reckons hes been caught with something he shouldn't have, and got the team to stay quiet by making threats of his own.

Going to repeat myself that this is all based on unverified sources and conjecture from one Dutch journalist. He might be right, he might be full of poo poo. E: apparently Jumbo is working on a plan to get Tom fit for the TdF. They might not have listened to him that well. Rojkir fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Feb 27, 2021 |

This is actually a pretty concise guide to the new weird rules, understandable to even cro-magnon sprinters and slovenians. No more throwing your bottle directly under your opponents front wheel, smh game’s gone. https://www.uci.org/docs/default-source/default-document-library/2021-uci-guide-safety-en.pdf

Caleb's going to have to re-learn how to sprint or opposing teams will object to everything he's in.

Caleb’s sprint position hasn’t been that crazy Midousuji poo poo since the end of the 2017 season.
