I never quite understood this hierarchy of comparing metals and people saying 'upgrading' to carbon or Ti. Each material has it's own properties that suit all manner of riders. I still use Alu/Carbon Bianchi. Yes it's a harsh ride at times, that can batter me on a long ride but I get the feel I want in the bars which communicate to me well.

If I could afford and had the space I would buy a bike of each material to compare their merits. Simply don't write off Alu or any other material b/c the masses say so.

Just get your leg over the bike and find out for yourself, you maybe pleasantly surprised of the outcome.

Then all the "squeaky clean amateurs" who win get to have a well paid professional career, so the temptation remains the same.
Interesting how public perception from a poll does not actually reflect the results anyone can read on the UKADA website.

Wow! What a great Giro! I never thought the race would live up to the 2012 and 2011 editons, but, boy, was I wrong! Kudos to the organizers and the riders! What agreat race! Notwithstanding poor Wiggins and Hesjedal

Better than most but 10 years for a double killing?
stick a zero on the end maybe!

Bill Werbeniuk claimed (and didn't get) a TUE for his Beta blockers. He said they were to counter the effects of the thirty pints of beer he drank each day. He also claimed (and didn't get) Tax relief on the beer, which he said he drank to counter a congenital tremor. Now that's what I call a sport!

I remember a sport science lecture many moons ago and we discussed the ethics of doping then (90's post Ben Johnson) and amongst a room of sport students we struggled to come to a consensus about the morality of it.

Where there is money there will be cheating, whether it be sport, politics or business - it's human nature to grasp.

Surely that was what the whole point of the Olympics though, to be the best at your sport naturally - in its own quaint way I can see the appeal of amateur sport only in the Olympics to take away some of the temptation that money brings!

I can't get over how much he requotes himself.

clear case of treating objects like women

Enrique, i still cant get over the fact you have so much interest and passion for the game but cant find a tenner to play premium, the mind boggles, it really does mate.

3,8,10,11,12 gambled did not pay, went cav+nizzolo over modolo and ventoso, misread it - again

It's nice to see that a good number of Sun readers have rallied round, criticising all cyclists for having the temerity to ride on the roads, and for riding on the pavement. I hope this sorry chain of events will teach Ms. Way a valuable lesson, and that the next time she knocks a cyclist through a hedge she has more sense than to incriminate herself online.

Kudos to Cavendish! Pretty awesome effort!
