With more affairs less cheaters - by T.Voeckler

And Bouygues Telecom stay in cyclism until 2010!

From Eurosport.fr http://www.eurosport.fr/cyclisme/pr...to1439101.shtml

Thomas Voeckler will again be the spearhead of the Bouygues Telecom team. The former yellow jersey trusts that the context in cleaner, it will be more favorable this year. Its goal: to fetch a stage of the Tour de France.
What is your goal for the season that opens?

VOECKLER Thomas: It's fast enough seen, I want to try and establish myself in Pro Tour events stamped as a stage victory in the Tour de France, Paris-Nice or Dauphiné Libéré. I really want to win a Tour stage, I am well aware that there are 150 to 200 riders who dream at the start but I hope that in 2008 it will be my turn.This is my eighth pro season, I know how it works. Without m'enflammer, I think this experience will help me.

Is it difficult not to give in to discouragement when we are racing cyclist today?

TV :It's not my style to give in to discouragement, even though there have been some hard times in recent months with all these cases.

I still think that things are going better for two years and I think there is more business, the fewer cheats.

The bicycle is in a pivotal period, and now we can afford to arrive at the start of a race with ambition.There is again the place to do more than blows.

The new measures will they in the right direction?

TV : I used to say that everything is good to lead the fight against doping provided only after it is effective. The biological passport is a good thing, it will be more compelling for us runners but I prefer to be held accountable if it is to see fewer cheaters at the start. Add the measurements on the location, random checks and the results today, I come to the races with the ambition and not beaten beforehand.

Whether you inspire the extension for two years, until 2010, the partnership between Bouygues Telecom and the team?

TV: Well, you find me ... It was a well-kept secret because even we, the riders were not aware of it. It is something which gives me a smile. It's good for cycling to see that there are sponsors who are committed and who believe even if we can not blame those who retire, as in Germany. Cycling is currently shown the finger, but I hope that in some time, it will be shown as an example.
