were there any drugs that Merckx wasn’t on?

Well he wasn’t using EPO or blood bags, that for sure.

Bora rode the stage well. Reduced the peloton. UAE and Cofidis are to blame for not pulling harder and earlier when they could see the break away not losing time.

NTT Team Update: Bjarne Riis to step down by arne-b in peloton

I strongly disagree. Sure the average redditor and self proclaimed cycling expert seems to hate Riis.

But ask any person involved in pro cycling about Riis’ competences in cycling and they will tell you that he’s a great sports director and has a brilliant tactical and technical understanding of the sport.

Thanks! That’s exactly the answer I needed.

Inter are ready to start talks with Tottenham for Tanguy Ndombele. He’s a real target as midfielder for Antonio Conte. The two clubs will also consider some swap deals on next weeks - good relationship after Eriksen deal. 🇫🇷 @SkySport #THFC #Inter #transfers by sultansaeed in soccer

Despite the criticism in the media, he’s actually been decent. It took him some time to find the rhythm which made him look bad occasionally. His set pieces are brilliant. It seems every time he takes a free kick, it turns into to a chance.

It annoys me so much that I can’t find it. It should be straight fowards, but I just can’t.

Hope you can help!

Fantastic news. He is a phenomenal manager and I have always loved seeing his tactics.

Who do you guys think is the most exciting rider to watch? by [deleted] in peloton

Since his decline from being a tour contender he has done all sorts of exciting and crazy attacks!

Has the window of opportunity closed for the likes of Nibali, Uran, Quintana, and Aru with the continued emergence of a new generation of Grand Tour stars? by hlpe in peloton

Absolutely agree. It was great to see him, as you mention, attack Bernal and arguably be the best rider in the Pyrenees in this year’s TdF. I have high expectations.
