road.cc live blog: Stop Highways England banning cycling on the A63, Froome racing is "super bad" for cycling says Tony Martin, Aussie speed awareness campaign pulled (and more)

I'd like Froome to not race with this hanging over him, but I concede that the rules allow it, so he is free to do so.

The reason he is free to do so is that this is not a doping case, its a case where there is a stipulated maximum level of medication,  prescribed not because of potential performance gains, but due to acute health risks to the athlete, has been surpassed.

The reality of this, is that good or bad, it should not be public knowledge at this time. If this was not leaked, we wouldn't have this conundrum and I'm sure it would have been dealt with by now. 

Well... the rules stipulate he is allowed to ride, I could comment that anyone with a first name for a surname shouldn't ride, it doesn't make it so.

He's not a doctor or a lawyer, so what more does he have to add to an old, tired, non-story.

Maybe he should ride tandem with Bardet, another rider being made to look decidedly average by Froome.

How is it bad for cycling? I'm still commuting by bike, being a weekend warrior, buying cycling weekly.

Anyone that says 'super bad' is a little girl or from LA and should be tested for drugs...

Tony Martin is another moron!

The videos are still online at the Brisbane News website, link here:

They're well worth watching - the actress playing the girlfriend at the end is quite the looker, a bit of Margot Robbie about her.

So perfectly demonstrates the attitude of Australian government to cyclists; it's a punishment and something no intelligent person would do.

Not entirely surprising, coming from the home of the helmet law, an action with the sole purpose of punishing cyclists.

Ah, those wacky Australians - dontcha just love 'em...
