The professional cycling thread
Discussion
This is nothing short of a disaster for Pro Cycling.
Loving the fact that there's a link to an article published yesterday where Nibali is quoted as saying that he has no concerns about the team retaining its license.
The UCI needs to absolutely throw the book at them. Anything less and any new credibility they've got since Cookson took over is dead and buried.

Wiggins signed a new contact until April 2015 and he can then concentrate on the Olympics

Its good to see him deciding to have one last go at Paris-Roubaix. It sounds like he surprised himself with his performance last year, and when he found himself in contention with a few km to go, didn't really have the mindset to take it home (as he has said in interviews his body wasn't the problem).
Hopefully if he goes in actively targeting it he can do even better.

Shouting Wiggo home in the 2012 Tour was the first bit of cycling I properly watched. I'd bloody love for him to make it and on form (in body and mind) he's more than capable of it. But the million-Euro question is ever present: is he on form?
Just got all signed up for the road.cc fantasy cycling, is there a separate thread for it somewhere?

if this guy is determined to achieve something he generally does.Just got all signed up for the road.cc fantasy cycling, is there a separate thread for it somewhere?
His TT victory last year was evidence of that. If he can steer clear of trouble have a bit of luck then why not.

Just seen a vid of Cav being very clear on his thoughts on doping.
Made some good points regarding the sport's desire to change being practically applied through levels of testing etc.
I know that it's a losing battle, especially with some of the 'inconsistencies' that occur, but it's still a lot better than other sports where testing is a massive, massive exception...
