Assos is stepping up as the main sponsor for NTT. Nice to see, NTT aren't a good team but losing teams right now is Bad.

They've also lost a bunch of riders that had options too so will probably be even more bad. Rumours they are going to try and sign aru which i think is a terrible idea, no way can they compete for GT's.

They should just call up a bunch of Cat 1 riders from Africa and see what happens. Theres literally no downside to that and massive marketing appeal.

Aru seems like a real dead end option. Might as well hire Cav.

If you can get Aru for cheap it isn't crazy, just as a high upside signing in case he manages to find his form again.

Aru still has the legs that won a Grand Tour, its just his head has completely gone.

TobinHatesYou posted:DCRainmaker's take One of the riders in question has now openly admitted that the 2nd file was doctored by a 'friend who didn't know the severity of merging files'. https://www.velonews.com/news/banne...63-ac0aa82ed49e Should have taken the 1 race DQ because now you're never going to lose the stigma of cheating.

Yeah ignorance being used as an excuse. I don't know how "Can you help recover the file?" turns into her friend taking the Zwift file and punching it through fitfiletools.com with a 1% multiplier. Ultimately the responsibility is hers to provide the data as requested.

He looks good. I am glad for him. Plastic surgeons can do some pretty amazing things if they're given enough to work with. He's still waiting for the implanted/grafted jaw they built him to heal up enough that they can screw some teeth into it, and for his pelvis to heal properly from the bone harvesting.

I still don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at. He'd be a turbo idiot if he doped up for a CX season he doesn't care about any more after the road season he does care about is already over though. ![]()

Something is being exchanged via hands. It just looks shady. It could be a personal keepsake. Or it could be a ped or bodily fluid who knows.

I don't imagine he's getting passed some PED as he's walking to doping control and they literally watch you get your cock out to piss so I imagine it's something innocuous but it sure looks shady as hell even if it's just his phone or something
|

I mean, what could they possibly be handing him that would make a difference related to doping control? It’s obviously something very small so they can’t be handing him a bag of piss. Can’t imagine they’d have any sort of masking agent that would somehow work that fast that they wouldn’t have already gave him at literally any point before he’s walking in to piss.

Wasn’t it Hamilton who said there was a powder you could have on your fingers that would contaminate the sample to render it untestable? Maybe something you’d want to keep dry and not in a plastic baggy. Like I’m sure there’s some such agent that could gently caress with testing, but impossible to speculate from just that video. Can’t wait for the jar of sugar explanation though.

It's the untraceable gold they use to bribe the testing officer.

I'm pretty sure if you starting pissing on your fingers instead of directly into the cup they are going to know something's up.

IIRC, the anecdote said just a bit was necessary to destroy the sample. And it didn't go into this level of detail, but I think you could just do that maneuver when pulling your hog out of your bib, Rudy style.

Someone suggested it was a disposable mask, but that makes too much sense. It's probably his good luck charm; a photo of his biggest fan, me.

I definitely did not expect that, unless they think he really does have enough left in the tank to go for the Merckx record

probably on a fairly cheap but bonus heavy contract, like they did with gilbert. bennett will go to le tour, no? so i don't think the stage record is realistic.

Maybe, but in a team like that you're not carrying any deadweight for name value so they must think he can do some kind of job. Doesn't matter if he's cheap if he's toast and eating up a slot that could be filled by a rider that would actually do something for the team.

Maybe he's a rider/coach for Bennett?

Trying to teach Bennett to ride like Cav would seem like a bad plan, his style was pretty personal. I don't know if he would be a good coach.

If Bennett could be half as good at positioning as Cav was he'd be phenomenal with that power tbf.

I suppose he could coach reading the bunch and deciding when to launch. The mental, sprint-theory side of things.
