I agree - this is one of the best times to watch Pro cycling and the Tour. Assume the ones like George, Levi, Landis, Rasmussen, Salvodelli, Hushovd, Boonen, McEwen, etc are clean and enjoy the fight everywhere, especially in the mountains.
If you can't make that assumption, then you really can't ever enjoy competitive sports. Starting with everyone above cat3 is on 'something', hey, maybe even that guy who dropped you for dead on that last climb must be on 'something'
I agree. And Rasmussen is the man I root for, he did things last year I have only seen in movies. He is my real inspiration to be a better cycleist.
