  1. "Once again this year [FDJeux.com DS] Madiot has sent a team to the Giro
    d'Italia that he describes as a combination of younger riders and those
    who need to find some form."

    What until next year when the Pro Tour begins. Any team with
    serious aspirations for the TdF will use the Giro as a
    training ride.

    Yes, they undoubtedly will.

    But who cares anyway? The Pro Tour is the final straw that
    will break the back of bike racing.

    If [censored] (sorry [censored]) Pound and his WADA Wankerz aren't
    doing their level best to drive away the sponsors, the UCI
    has to downgrade races that have, over the course of
    decades, been built into World Class events.

    I agree with you, but I also agree with what the UCI has
    been trying to accomplish. Their execution sucks. Look at it
    this way, the Pro Tour changes the sport so much that the
    UCI may not survive intact for more than a few more years.
