Re: The Audio-Talk Cycling thread.
It's a good thing that our courts don't work on the basis of best guesses. Without hard evidence it's not possible to reach any sound conclusion about whether anyone is cheating, and that includes MPCC teams. I don't think it helps the sport to assume any winner is a cheat, which sadly seems to be ...

Re: The Audio-Talk Cycling thread.
OK, let me explain myself a little better. 1. My suspicions, apparently well-founded, were that Pogacar wasn't fit enough to win because of his injury and I thought he might fade - in a subsequent post race interview he more or less said that. I think Jumbo Visma's team tactics may have been predica...

Dear me, let's hope normal service is resumed as soon as possible !
Here, this one made me chuckle a couple of days ago when someone put it on my desk at work :

Re: The Audio-Talk Cycling thread.
Ok, I'll back off a little, sorry. The non-MPCC teams are not exactly cheating, but they are using Ketones and Tramadol at least, these are yet to be made illegal, but Tramadol will be next year. The problem isn't just with Vingegaard, it's the whole team, who seem to be outperforming everyone. Take...

Re: The Audio-Talk Cycling thread.
..... and yesterday my suspicions about Pogacar's condition..... Your suspicions from Tuesday, presumably ? This is what happened on Tuesday : https://twitter.com/eltiodeldato/status/1681383772204171274 ..and if you say "he was well down on Vingegaard", then that's just a circular argumen...

All good !
Terry Reid looks good, Chris. I must check that out. His spot at Glasto 1970 was so superb it really sticks in the memory.

Re: The Audio-Talk Cycling thread.
It's a shame about your cynicism Mark It's a shame you think about me that way , Ray, and I think you are just ill-informed. I'm actually very passionate about cycling, and the history of cycling, and I am in awe of the undoped or almost-undoped riders who have succeeded in our sport. For instance ...

Re: The Audio-Talk Cycling thread.
I don't agree with your arguments. For instance the bike change was only a matter of a few seconds either way. I know a lot about the background and the history of pro cycling. I got badly cheated as a spectator in the 1990's, I haven't forgotten that. Plus I didn't have a strong bias toward Pogacar...

Re: The Audio-Talk Cycling thread.
I found it deeply suspicious myself. It's just undermined my enjoyment of the Tour I'd had so far. It looks a little too like the 1990's. I can't believe that Vingegaard can be neck & neck with Pogacar all of last week in the mountains, then beat him by 5% in an uphill time trial. The UAE team m...

Re: Nothing In Particular
Did you notice Tanners wine shop, est. 1815 ( approx ) ?
Good to hear about the HiFi & records shops though, not been down there for a while.
