Will there be positive doping tests from the Giro?
At the 2008 Giro we had Sella winning 3 mountain stages, and subsequently testing positive for CERA-Epo after he was targeted for by the UCI.
I can't think of any similar stand-out performances at this year's Giro. So I'm thinking that we might not get any serious doping cases from this year's Giro. Who'll bet against me?

Nope, it's to keep your straps down and quieter. Plus most sunglasses are polycarbonate and aren't going to shatter like glass anyway

And, more seriously, where's the coverage of the closure of the cycle lane which forces you to cycle on the Totton bypass.

Di Luca ... again?
Bit of a bummer really - I liked the way he rode, well I thought I did.
That may be the least of his worries if the Italian authorities decide to start an investigation for sporting fraud
at least
Di Luca positive for CERA during Giro.
Well done hammergonewest and Jon. You both get a point, or a gold star, or something.
Here's hoping a four year ban at least!
But Di Luca always looked like he was right on the rivet when he was really pushing it; Menchov seemed to be able to sit with him all the time and never opened his mouth...
yeah the only one who was a little bit interesting in my opinion was di luca, he may not have taken time on many stages but he was leading groups and packs up all the major climbs.
You could argue that Di Luca's was a standout performance right the way through given his form of recent years
But I agree no-one did anything extraordinary… except maybe that Rabobank mechanic
So I think your money is safe
