Doubt it Skippy
Floyd was just caught out doing what the others are doing a fair bit of themselves, plus he did it with way more style.
The afternoon Flandis won i was staying in MoOrzine with some english people who i had just met. They were raving about his result and i incurred the warning about finding another pace to sleep if i persisted in my comments. Time saw that i was correct but i am still waiting for this "disgrace to cycling" to stop wasting people's time with his protestations!
French justice is different to ours but you still get a fair hearingand it does not matter that you spend 10 times the amount truth will always surface.
Could it be that the other racers let him win that day because they knew something that we don't?
He's like Lance from the dark side. Ah hang on…
Floyd the Fugitive! What a naughty boy
