General Classification. It's where everyone is placed during a race. Basically, it's the top riders who have a chance to win.

The pot Belge was Made in Belgium of course that's why the Festina's won almost everything in 1998 with Willy-Voet as the supplier => https://en.wikipedia.org
=> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willy_Voet /wiki/Doping_at_the_Tour_de_France#1998_Festina_scandal This was before and while the EPO era and the first user of EPO in the peleton was the "Spaniard Indurain" , and only that's why he won the Tour as well . He was working with the Italians and Dr. Ferrari in the EPO lab . I saw "Bjarne Riis" in person when he won the "Amstel Gold Race" ...I , I said "I" personal stood on the top of the Hallembaye and his face was looking blue from too much hematocrit , he was actually in mortal danger while he won the race with more than 4 minutes advance..He actually flew ! The Hallembaye =>http://www.klimclassic.nl/klimtijd-c...ter/index.html I was there in my youth...and later I drove for 4 years in the Belgian competition and it was no joke ! Today the Tour is a giant lab full of lies and hypocrites ! => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Conconi => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping...Tour_de_France Within 5-6 years the name/kind of the doping wins the Tour and no longer the rider..

Belgie, any articles on this? The testing is pretty good today. Not to say that any of these guys are still innocent. I just hope he is.

That's why they made even a movie from Armstrong with the name => "The program" Other sports are not really better because I heard yesterday on the Belgian newsflash about the past Olympics and that the Russians had a hole in the doping control wall ... EDIT=> The Russian hole => http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/13/sp...2014.html?_r=0

Ha! I agree with all your points. WTH has Quintana been waiting for? It's also that's Sky's team are ridiculously good and all he has is Valverde in the mountains. Froome looks like Michael J Fox on a bike.

Poor TVG, I also think it's a result of an American rider, American team and hopes for the next :gasp: Lance...unfortunately. He's not that guy and I don't fault him, he's solid but there's also a new crop of fringe GC contenders invading the top 10. Me thinks it's fun to see the shoe on the other foot with the sprinters, with Cav having the upper-hand and being in Kittel's head. I actually feel sad for Greipel! Quintana, sigh. I keep pretending that someone can do about Froome in the 3rd week of a GT, when he's weakest historically. I'm not optimistic in that he's already been dropped once.

Found a video from Team Sky's training camp. Covers Froome's prep for the Tour. Scientific to say the least.

After watching the Paris finale today my wife turned to me and said "you know what was really nice about this tour? No mention of drugs."

4 out of 5 years for Team Sky. They're definitely doing something right.
