I say this is the most revelant TDF. For years it's always been "he must be doping" and all the insinuations but now with the aggressive stance it's going to change. Now we can definitively say "he's doping". I can't believe I am going to say this...but I get the French on this. They have historically protected cycling. We could be watching a bunch of guys on recumbents drinking epo as if it's orange juice if they haven't been on watch.

Yes. If this Tour is the Berlin Wall for Omerta, then this is the most significant cycling event of the last 20 years.

However, if it's just another Festina, then...

I remain naively hopeful.
