Iirc the team didn't want him to but he didn't believe he was good enough to compete for GC

Definitely one of the better Tour's. Wonder if the sky train will be back in full force next year.

On to the Giro and Vuelta :toot:

To be clear I'm not particularly on the Pog is doping train, it just made me laugh how unfiltered Dumoulin's comments were

Dutch is a pretty straight spoken language without much ambiguity so he comes across as being sure of it all in translation.

I hope anything that does happen is of the good kind and not more GC contenders getting taken out, so fingers crossed the run up to the sprint isn't like the last couple

Not sure why allegations of doping are a police matter, but it's France, I guess

It seems like most of the effective anti doping initiatives (in cycling at least) have come about thanks to the police

Jumbo modded their heavy rear end Bianchis for grand tours by stripping the paint, but other than the bikes were fine.

I've been trying to find out if there are better examples but it's the kind of thing that's hard to search for

I was pretty amazed at how visible road cycling was when I visited there. The shops were really nicely decked out and all the riders I saw were in team kits usually too.

Route was pretty nice I thought, would like to try that last climb.

Do they have any idea how far ahead the break are? I know there are no radios but do the commisaires show a board or anything?

Looking at the profile there's not much to slow the front rider(s) down til the end, the gap isn't coming down much now either.

Think the chasers will get the rest of the medals too. Maybe the conditions mean they can't bury themselves enough to catch up to the front

No its just terribly tactics. The Dutch refused to chase so the break got 10 minutes. Their tactic was to try and send a rider up the road to close it down all on their own and shutdown anyone that tried to chase that down. They couldnt get anyone to help chase properly before and ensured no-one would help then.

Yeah, it was one of the many possible excuses the commentator on Dutch tv was came out with to explain what's happening

Even with no radios they’re still meant to be given time gaps. They must have been being given the gap to the riders that were dropped from the break, not to Kiesenhofer. Very funny but also pretty cruel.

Apparently it's what you said, (according to someone on Reddit quoting van der Breggen) they were only given the gap to the group ahead of them, not to the front of the race

Op de hoogte means that he says he wasn't informed about the change, is that on him/his team or the organisation though? Other riders seemed to know at least.

Is there a dedicated thread for track cycling or is it usually in here? Last Olympics was so long ago and I don't remember much chatting about any of the world championships
