Why doesn't every reporter simply ask the question if any riders have TUE's ????  Doesn't that force the hand of teams to confirm or deny?

Didn't Kimmage and Vaughters and others have a longish twitter exchange on this?

I want to play devil's advocate for a moment to comment that the weather in Northern Europe is dreadful (damp and cold) most of the time along with horrendous diesel fumes exhaust from cars and trucks which all can cause havoc on your lungs especially for pro cyclists who ride about 25,000 miles a year.

Nothing about pro cycling is healthy.

VINDICATION! JP got caught the year we redid our kit in old - school kit and we've never let him live it down. I guess we need something/someone new to poke fun at.

Where is Yaks with his carbon phobia when you need him?

My aversion to both fixed gear and plastic bikes can be traced to one seminal moment in my youth...

Prospect Park community group 'Neighbors for Better Bike Lanes' dropped their 5-year case against DOT

"The group argued in its 2011 suit against the city Department of Transportation that city officials claimed the bike path was a pilot, though officials had always intended for it to be permanent."

Eh, Sparky gets a pass for the bee stings. 

Cow Pucky !!!! I miss the days when a bee sting would send u home from the Tour.  You could actually look like Mike from Monsters inc. and NOT get a TUE for a single cortisone injection

FUCKING GAVI EPSTIEN

We gave him several thousand dollars worth of "old style" kit to sell on our behalf... four (?) years ago - he vanished off the radar and once a year he relists it - I email him a "hey, so about all our kit you were going to sell on consignment" and he doesn't reply, but the kit gets delisted.

Unbeknownst to just about everybody, Cannondale is ninth on the WorldTour

That they're ahead of Lampre and IAM Cycling is no surprise, but ahead of Lotto Soudal and Astana is
