Riccardo Ricco - what a guy

Did you get lost on the way to the doping git thread?

I gave up on most of my favourites when the truth behind their successes became obvious.

One ex pro rider I still have a soft spot for is Greg Lemond, because I got back into cycling as a result of watching him win the 1989 Tour de France, and I believe him to have raced clean. If he turned out to be a doper too, I think that would be me done with it!

[smutchin]

Never warmed to Cipolloni. I would call him a show pony but to be fair, his results back him up. However he achieved them.
