Good interview with Nico Roche on the latest real peleton podcast from the Tour launch. It's (naturally) a bit Brit focussed, given it's Matt Rendell and Ned Boulting, but it's a bit more regular than the cyclingnews podcast and they give the Irish cyclists decent coverage. (OT - and it's not just available through itunes, like so many seem to be going grrrrr)

10 questions for Deignan on the Shack website

sems to be anotehr operation puerto style investigation about to go public in spain..
Seems to be mainly focussed on Athletics, but Fuentes is reported to be one of those arrested.

Hard not to be cynical about a Spanish led drug investigation, to be honest, after previously finding no wrong doing by any of its elite sport stars, nor investigating them, despite the evidence.
It looks like this time they are going to call in those who are no longer likely to headline. A big star in Marta Dominguez, but very much on the way out - that will pass fairly quietly. Fuentes is a nice catch, but he is probably the Al Capone of Spanish doping - I would expect that his arrest mentions chiefly parking tickets or something.
They definitely need some blood this time, or everyone wil think they are taking the p!ss...
EDIT: Just looked up Galgo and found this article - looks like Luis Leon Sanchez is involved. THe conspiracy theorist in me says "Hmm, and didn't he just move to Rabobank..."

That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

Yeah luis leon sanchez was who They were talkin about in comments underneath.his brother plays for madrid.
In the context of a doping discussion, I'm not sure whether the genius of this post is intended or not!

Excellent - I dislike the horrible Shamrock vomit thing that had been the last few before Nick Roche won it. I think that the green hoop is the best look for the Champion's jersey - no-one else has the green hoop, and I think it looks better (and is more inclusive) than a tricolor along the lines of the French or Dutch champion's jersey would be.
I am stung to the gums by this. It seems the point I was making might have been as well directed at me @rse...

No comprende, senor.
Dan Martin set to be a protected rider for 2011 Giro...
Christophe Le Mével is set to lead the Garmin-Cervélo team at the 2011 Giro d’Italia, along with Ireland’s Dan Martin. The Frenchman, who joins the squad from FDJ, has already tasted success at the corsa rosa, winning a stage in 2005.
“For now, I’m sure to figure at the Giro d’Italia, where I should have the role of co-leader alongside Daniel Martin,” Le Mével told Cyclism’Actu.

Interesting. Doubt he'd be strong enough to look at a high GC so could be targeting stages
So they have a Young Riders' jersey?
Hard to know, given most of the big names will be focussing on the Tour, as unlikely to be competitive in both. But afaik they do have a young riders jersey - white as well.

Cheers, I know one of the Giro or Vuelta doesn't have one

Armstrong allegations in Sports Illustrated.
Nothing really that new in it but am sure will be a big deal in the states...
yeah, its a big deal because it isn't "the French" out to get him. Some other lies have come out recently (about his salary, about livestrong)

Yeah thought it was a bit rich of the two journos who wrote it to put it out as some big exclusive given the the work David Walsh et all had already done.
I see Landis has come out now saying they should legalise doping. Probably not the best thing if he wants a bit of credibility..
