hypothetical doped French team.

[thunder]

4 teams are too many to support in the French peloton. Lets assume they had one, and they could be doped with Disco's best rocketfuel.

This is the team:

Moncoutie (team captain, and Tour de France GC favourite on Betfair at 2:1)
Casar (first mtn lieutenant, and second GC captain, guiing for top 5)
Chavanel (top 10)
Moreau (second last mtn lieutenant, polka dots)
Voeckler (domestique)
di Gregorio (domestique)
Gadret (domestique)
Brochard (engine like Voigt)
Goubert
Dessel

TTT team

Vaugrenard
Brard
Portal
Bonnet
Finot
Champion
Vogondy
Rous
Coppel

Sprint team

Casper
Nazon
Feillu
Chavanel Seba
Flickinger
Hinault
Bonnet
Pineu
Geslin


dope them thru the eyeballs, they would be two super squads.

Another team could be

Gallopain
Joly
Fedrigo
Dumoilin
Martias
Calzati
Auge
Lemevel
Passeron
Guesdon
Ladagnous

Probably have better talents than Netherlands, if they got with the heavy stuff.

Do you think that all of these guys are totally clean? Or are they a bit dirty but are just not doing the heavy duty, Disco type, drug programme? Clearly, a lot of the French riders are not able to compete at the level that their talent would suggest, but are they completely squeaky?

nah, I would say a proportion, get a little help. Moreau certainly.

But none do the Virenque comprehensive apothecary,

and none have Ceccho or Ferrari in their corner.

But Dr Mabuse is still working, forgot who he is, don't think he is a doctor. And Jeff d'Hont had a hide to show his face again with FDJ after ratting out Telkom late 90's.

Sure, rat them out, but don't ask the sport to feed you again.

So, no. The French peloton ain't clean. Cofidis was byo good times, and Gaumont got a second in a Tour de France final tt one year. Might have been last decade.

The only ones on Cofidis that were clean were Moncoutie and Janek Tombak. Think Sylvain is clean now for sure. And that period was when he was at Bonjour, Vendee U almuni. Clean, but not quite sparkly, Salanson among others.

So, France, definitely not clean. But much cleaner. Don't underestimate it.

Pineau and Geslin better neos and espoirs than Frankie Schleck. Better riders than him.

Frank wins the Queen stage, l'Alpe d'Huez.
