not gonna lie... i've been thinking about doping. surely all the sleight-of-hand tricks are useless at the top so you'd be relying on drugs you'd hope would be undetectable for 8 years
scrutiny is higher (i think). bahrain kept getting raided, always questions over astana, lopez got himself done and nairo and his stupid tramadol
and every pro sport i watch has seen huge increases in quality in the past 10 years cause science... #cycling #tdf #tdf2023 #couchpeloton https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jul/20/white-noise-of-scepticism-shrouds-jonas-vingegaard-after-dominance-tour-de-france

So sad to see Cav finish like that, but I feel like he went out with honour. 6th, 4th and 2nd places (and arguably should've won yesterday if Philipsen had been relegated, though he wouldn't have wanted it like that).
He still had the speed for sure, it just wasn't to be. At least he got that Giro stage in Rome - not a bad final win by any means.
Chapeau to the man who got me watching #ProCycling 15! years ago. GOAT sprinter bar none. #ThanksCav
