    You cannot have a majority yellow jersey at the tour.

    I thought they would just spin in round and have a blue majority, but they fluo one will make them stand out a bit better

    As there is still no official
    As there is still no official startlist, I cannot give you a list of young riders, even PCS (Procyclingstats.com) cannot confirm their startlist is 100% correct because there are certain riders that are doubtful

    For example, Michael Matthews, I wouldn’t want to bet on him starting…. https://twitter.com/nygaardbn/status/484618077293006850/photo/1

    So Adam Yates could still get a call up 👿

    Gkam: That might work for a turbo trainer but not for rollers. Both wheels need to turn with rollers, to give the rider the stability provided by the wheels’ rotational inertia, to help them balance.

    Ok Ok, there’s probably a few people with super balance who could manage with just the rear (maybe). 😉 However, most of us will need both wheels to spin.

    So why do so many rollers come with an A frame to take your front wheel off and hook the forks into a quick release? 😕

    Surely just a normal set of rollers would work, then get a front wheel block to rest the front on? Like this http://www.wiggle.co.uk/elite-elastogel-travel-front-wheel-riser-block/

    Especially because Majak is very “upset” to say the least about being drafted in. He has said things about Mr Tinkoff not giving a toss about his health after having done the Giro and not feeling well.

    You still don’t get it. THEY CANNOT just hand it off to one person….they are responsible to WADA and the code says they HAVE to decide it by committee…..a committee cannot hand it to one person either.

    I don’t care what you come back with that the UCI reg’s say they can and cannot do. UCI are members of the WADA code and therefore WADA rules and reg’s apply, not UCI sub codes they have put in place themselves. That is not how it works.

    WADA code has to be followed to the letter.

    A committee cannot just pick and choose who makes a decision though. I MUST be made by at least 3 members and if WADA had their way, it would require every decision to be made by a 6 person committee, 1 chairman and 5 members.

    So Froomes TUE was illegal and wrong, his results should be stripped as his TUE was against the WADA code and therefore he was using a banned substance without the proper authority…..

    True. But not using a committee not only goes against WADA code, it goes against what the UCI tell EVERY rider under its charge.

    If you see the thread I started about the UCI course and get into the course, you will see they tell riders.

    “Applications are dealt with by the Therapeutic Use Exemption Committee.”

    Along with many other things, but still, everyone is blaming Sky, Sky have nothing to do with TUE’s, ONLY a rider can apply for one. NO-ONE can apply on their behalf.

    So everyone should be having a go at Froome, not Sky.

    Ok, so have the UCI given two
    Ok, so have the UCI given two different wordings just to put doubt out there. If you see the opening paragraph, it makes out there the UCI are saying that decisions from now on will go through A committee…..meaning there wasn’t one in the first place to go through.

    “The International Cycling Union (UCI), cycling’s world governing body, has told Telegraph Sport that it is to introduce an immediate change to its Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) process, ensuring that from now on all decisions pass through a committee.”

    Then they say

    “As an immediate measure, the UCI confirms that from now on, all TUE decisions will pass through the TUE Committee.”

    Suggesting the have a committee, which if they had one, they would have been using it already for decisions…..they haven’t and they don’t have one

    Really ill….hardly.

    I take medication that contains glucocorticosteroids every day for my asthma and also different medication through the summer that also contain them for allergies, along with Triamcinolone’s.

    It is not because I am really ill, it is as a preventative measure, because without them I could become really ill.

    I thought when a stage was rated in the game as a summit finish then final KOM pts were ignored?

    Yes….if the KOM points are given on the finish line.

    These points were not given on the finish line, so they count
