Tour de France

At least Chris Broadman was not any list, and I have yet to see the names of Sean Yates or Roger Miller, so that bodes will for Bradley and Froome.

If the reports are correct, Yates resigned from Team Sky after admitting to doping in the past. He tested +ve for Testosterone in 1989 but his B sample cleared him and there were procedural errors in the testing process. He also has strong links to a certain Lance Armstrong...

If the other rider you refer to is Robert Millar....he failed a test for testosterone in 1992.

Most of them were at it in the 80's & 90's. Sean Kelly was taking ephidrine for "Bronchitis" before the 1984 Paris-Brussels race and was called in for a post race test. His sample was actually a small container of urine provided by a Team Mechanic. What Kelly didn't know was the mechanic was taking an amphetemine based stimulant to stay awake whilst driving the team van....Kelly failed the test and was suspended for a month. He failed another test at another race and blamed it on cough medicine!

I remember that. It's amazing what you completely forget about but is still there.

Sir Dave Brailsford's decision to step aside as performance director of the British Cycling team will be good news for Team Sky but disasterious for our chances of winning more olympic golds in Brazil.

Why is that he didnt cycle himself all the programmes and other things are in place just needs another manager

Bradley Wiggins hasn't been picked by the Sky team for this years tour. They've stopped with Chris Frome as their lead rider.

The good news is that Sir Brad will be available to cycle for England in the Commonwealth Games

It's been all adverts and shots taken by the Yorkshire tourist board with the odd inserts of the cyclists

I wish they would stop going on about the size of the crowds.

It's in Yorkshire, it's free to watch, of course there are going to be massive crowds.
