Good grief. What an appalling situation.

When people say allow doping and there won't be a problem, this here is the reason why you shouldn't and is why it was banned in the first place.

Yes, if it could be taken freely without significant risk of adverse medical effects, it would just be nutrition!

Though it does make the issue of substances that could be taken under medical supervision by those outside sport, but are prohibited by WADA possibly even more of a complex one.

U23 mens TT saw our only representatve Scott Davies come 10th. Must be disappointing for the 4 time British champion in the category.

We must have more U23s than that. Have we got enough for a team in the U23 road race or are they focussing on main race?

There's a 6 strong team of riders for the U23 road race (https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/gbcyclingteam/article/20160330-gb-cyclingteam-news-Great-Britain-Cycling-Team---Upcoming-events-0?c=EN).

Pidders is currently in the lead of the Junior ITT, with not many left to go. Is there anything that boy can't do!

Is it because Chris Lawless withdrew and the other riders hadn't prepared to race the TT?

Many will have seen Tom Pidcock romp home in the Worlds Cx earlier this year.
I missed the TT at the Junior Tour of Wales a couple of weeks ago but saw the remaining stages and Tom absolutely controlled the race having taken the lead after the first day which was the TT. Fred Wright won in 2016 and came second this year but had no answers.

Pidcock looked at the group of leaders on the final stage with about a k to go, much like Riis on that infamous Tour stage in 96, just lifted himself off the saddle and boom he was gone to stamp his authority.
Can he double up winning the junior road race, I have absolutely no doubt he will.
