TBF even Pat seems like a Gandhi figure when compared to the that Jabba the Hutt wanabee.......

Personally I've found the Giro and Vuelta to be getting more interesting over the past few years.

Agree with Dirk here. This looks like it has vested interests written all over it.
There are some things from the article.....
'We want to work with the organisers of the major Tours in the fight against doping'

followed by......
'Tour of California though (which is sponsored by Amgen, one of the World's biggest producers of anti-cancer drugs including EPO, and was created on the wave of publicity around the Tour victories of Lance Armstrong)'

then.....
'I think French riders are a little soft'

Am I alone in seeing the anomlies in this!!!!
