In other news, Bernie Eisel sounds significantly more normal in English than in German

He’s a good lad

I know how he feels, I lost a local hill climb tt to Brandon Mcnulty (yes that one) some years ago. He smashed us by minutes on a sub 20 min climb.

The PP brothers amongst others live locally, so even for the more obscure roads which the pro tour would not be able to race on have been smashed by these men and women on training rides.

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) advises that the UCI Anti-Doping Tribunal has rendered a decision against Colombian rider Miguel Ángel López.

The Tribunal found Miguel Ángel López guilty of an anti-doping rule violation (ADRV) for use and possession of a prohibited substance (Menotropin)*, concomitantly with the 2022 Giro d’Italia, and has imposed a four-year suspension on the rider.

In accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code and the UCI Anti-Doping Rules, the period of suspension started on 25 July 2023 and will remain in force until 24 July 2027.

The Dauphiné goes up my local HC calibre climb the Salève on the 8th, sadly not a MTF but looking forward to seeing them climb the 14% sections. I guess it also means the road surface has been freshened up and we might see it feature in the Tour next year.

Menotropin does seem a pretty sus thing to find in his system.

:rip: The Vuelta a Colombia will never be the same

I hadn't heard of menotropin before, but this does sound very sus:

quote:

Parenteral administration of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the production of testosterone in males and these gonadotropins can therefore be used by athletes to enhance muscle strength. However, they are more expensive and less efficient than testosterone and anabolic steroids. Therefore their main use is probably to stimulate gonadal testosterone production during and after self-administration of testosterone or anabolic steroids.

It’s typically taken during post testosterone cycle therapy in other contexts (as taking test suppresses your natural production), would be curious if there is some other effect they use it for in endurance sports besides stimulating your body to start producing its own again.

I still think this is a kind of weak route, but the Pyrenees stages are solid, and Bonnette/Isola is a very good finish.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

I've booked the 19th of July off work. Going to see if I can manage a trip to nice. Seems like an amazing opportunity to see two mountain stages and the final TT up close.
