    I think Lance said himself that he was only levelling the playing field. They were all on it, hence why the win wasn't handed down to anyone else between 1999 and 2005. He was legendary, and the whole world was shocked when he confessed. Followed by 10/12 year of relatively clean sport, but i really have my suspicions that something is creeping back into the sport.

    Lance was unlucky because he got caught. He wasn't the first and he won't be the last. He raised an awful lot of money for cancer but most people just remember him as the bloke who took drugs, which is a shame. He made it miles worse by denying it for so long! Still a legend though 👊

    Meh, I appreciate Specialized are basically responsible for the modern MTB but I think they're overrated these days. Trading on history and overpriced when they're not really offering anything different to anyone else. Can I also say I love the bit of the intro with the trees and the pouring rain, that's exactly what mountain biking in the UK is like 95% of the year 😂
