Tbh the doping was going on long before old lance took it to a new level, but didn't mean it wasn't exciting. Tbh I don't follow cycling that much any more, loved the 90 era, even though most have been proven suspect ?I used to watch this religiously, bit since Lance Armstrong fiasco I haven't bothered.
TdF has always been suspect though so it's often been a case of best team including chemists that wins.
That said Pogacar has been impressive.
