stewmac 474 Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Thanks. Long time ago now though. Goodness, Dudek was convicted much more recently for drugs and seems to have been forgiven well and truly.... Edited June 23, 2018 by stewmac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it happened the same year that Kennett was caught, and I thought that was 2011...Oh well, I must be getting old and forgetful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,990 Posted June 30, 2018 Another one that springs to mind was the Sky team constantly talking about Emil riding a supposedly dodgy bike and I even heard it first hand from one Danish rider that Emil ‘was cheating’,but did anyone ever put it to the test ?

Fromafar 10,367 Posted August 21, 2018 Whatever we think of Madsen he certainly can beat anyone on the day and is very consistent in Poland ,I would give him aWildcard for GP if he wanted one.Reminds me of Rine Holta in his prime great gater and very fast in front. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simonh 18 Posted September 12, 2018 Bumped into Leon in Vetlanda, he was guesting in mid August, with my son with autism. He was really professional. Polite, patient and understanding. Really impressed. He also rode really well and scored paid 14 from 5 against good quality riders. Be great to see him in the UK. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
