Paul Seixas and Julian Alaphilippe also skip French NC.
Pog planned to participate in Slovenian NC, but Urska's crash changed his plans. Rog, however, will participate for the first time since 2020

>The First Races (1868): The inaugural official race was held in Paris, won by Englishman James Moore.
Englishman won the first documented bike race in France no less. :^)

>Sam Oomen: “I had trained hard and prepared for the heat, so I thought I was in reasonably good condition. At Gippingen I was able to race near the front. Then I entered the Tour de Suisse where Pogačar was and it felt like stepping into a boxing ring. I just kept taking punches.”
>“After that first stage, I heard so many riders saying to each other that they had never experienced anything like it. One team, and one rider in particular, was so far above everyone else that it was difficult to comprehend how fast he was riding.”
>“You are doing everything you possibly can yourself, but the difference is still enormous. I don’t know whether disillusionment is exactly the right word, but it is the first word that comes to mind.”

if Rog can't do it with no Pog present, then he may unironically think about retiring next season

Kino. Missed out on viking raiders though. "We're ready to plunder France." they could start every stage with detachable horns on the helmets too.

I bet the French teams support this.

this is such a non-issue, I don't get why every cycling outlet even bother to report it. every year it gets resolved with a note from a team doctor.

>>155709445
I don't get how this is supposed to work in practice, wouldn't it be trivially easy for riders to submit fake data?
Also, we already know from races which riders are the most pas normal (doped), what meaningful additional insights would this even provide?

>>155711047
If you change you're bike and/or lose your bike computer and you provide incomplete data? Guess what - 2 years ban.

>>155711842
what if rider wants to ride old school with no head unit like Molleman?

Believe it or not - 2 years ban

absolute banger from UCI name generator

>>155712434
Current fans would feel their attention was wasted, if the big names for which they tune in get boosted. UCI would have to hope that this initial drop in interest would be in the future followed up by an influx of fans who would now watch because the sport in now clean.
But that is not how it works. When a scandal is exposed and those responsible punished, people naturally use this as evidence there is further misbehaviour still lurking, rather than thinming misbehaviour is now eliminated.

>>155712732
so what your saying is that we should allow everyone to dope

>>155709445
This would finally silence the motodoping tards (as if lol).

it wasn't broken. he said he thought it must be broken because he was so superhuman that day
