Edit:
Having nerded out over some advanced stats I am giving him very little chance of doing it. Air pressure in December and him being at sea level Vs Campenaerts at altitude is too much imo.

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.

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

UCI have banned having just your forearms on the bars ala TT position on road bikes.

You're also getting a 30 second penalty in stage races for chucking litter and bottles outside of the designated zones. Do this a 2nd time and its a 2 minute penalty. 3rd time and you're out.

But what about having you're forearms on the handlebar while holding onto the computer? And those hella ugly long road bars that you rest your forearms on too

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.
