Many thanks for that piece, Glaconman.

Timely writing, since I caught some of the ITV4 coverage of the Tour de France last night. ARD and ZDF, the German TV channels have just abandoned their entire coverage of the race because one of the riders failed a testerone test. They said that they had given the race organisers one last chance to get the race clean, and Le Tour had blown it.

Interesting thoughts on Graham Obree, too - contrasting him against Boardman much in the manner of Ovett vs Coe.

If you're a fan of Obree, then you'll definitely love The Washing Machine Post.

There's some great material in there about Robert Millar, too, including a piece on his desperately near victory in the 1985 Vuelta de España.
