Is it just me, or do others think the Vuelta is shaping up to be Froome- Dog versus a bunch of dodgy Spanish dopers?
I’d love to believe that Contador is innocent, but doesn’t the Spanish Cycling federation making his ban ‘retrospective’ look a little like an admission of guilt?
Plus the totally un-repentant Valverde wining stages, and Cobo’s suprising form last year, It’s looking like the Spanish approve of doping.
Having followed the TDF since Roche’s win, and beeing excited and disgusted in equal measure in the interveening years, it was wonderfull to see Evans and Wiggo deliver wins that I could believe in at long last.
Seeing the stance taken by sky and british cycling [particularly Wiggo] was met with some cynicism and snide comments from some euro media, what does the STW crowd think about the Spanish approach? Is the UK media holding back with their opinions in case the Spanish fans push Froome off his bike?
[Am I right in thinking Cadel Evans won’t ride the Vuelta because of a couple of incidents he experienced there in the past?]
Not trolling here, I’m no expert on the road scene, but 3 days in and I’m getting a little wound up with the Vuelta already. Just looking for some informed opinion [why am I posting on here then youmay well ask!]
Do your worst.
