Obviously, you liked the mood posts of Marc Fayet in 2023, so we postponed that for 2024 and we inevitably end this season with Marc Fayet's secret notebooks ! You were able to discover it and read it on Cyclism’Actuwith his column or rather his section “The secret notebooks“, with a new episode which returns to the suspicions of doping which surround the performances and the domination of Tbye Pogacar during a historic 2024 season. As a reminder, Marc Fayetborn in 1961, is a man of the theater and the stage. Actor and director, but also Cycling enthusiast, Marc has always been involved: he writes, comments, acts as much as he can in cycling, particularly on the Tour of Finistère of which he is today and since 2021, the president of the organizing committee. Marc Fayet and “its” secret notebooksit can now be found regularly on Cyclism’Actu.
Video – Gianetti and UAE… regarding doubts about Tadej Pogacar!
“More than 25 years later, we are still paying too heavy a price…”
If cycling is always subject to suspicion, if it is the most media-oriented in this area, it has inherited it from its dark era dating back to that famous year 1998 when French riders were dragged to the Gémonies on the sidelines of a sport become tormented by too many turpitudes. It was done violently and by police while at the same time French footballers, expertly prepared and become living gods, escaped all suspicion by having reached the roof of the football world. They will explain to us that it is not the same sport nor the same issues and even less the same ethics.
What does it matter! Each Federation has its own conscience. More than 25 years later, we are still paying too heavy a price by constantly having alerts preventing us from any temptation to wonder. So while we have Tadej Pogacar the biggest cycling phenomenon of the 21st century, we are forced to force our moderations by keeping our ears on the alert and the lights on. So many comments on the supremacy of this magnificent champion!
And what can we also say about the ringworm Remco Evenepoelsurprising Marc Hirshi ? And yet they all deserve to benefit from the most natural presumption of innocence, if it were not for the element which goes beyond them, which even goes beyond their sport but which is its main driving force, their team! And above all their team's money. I'm not talking about the money that we promise to these champions (Even if certain figures announce salaries equivalent to the budget of an entire team), I'm talking about the phenomenal budget of these Team World Tour foreigners and who advance like a steamroller to succeed, as an image of our society, in showing that the bigger they are, the stronger they are, the more they believe themselves to be invincible.
“We suddenly understand the reason, theUCI demanding that… “
The worst part is that they are about to become one. We all know the exemplary work of MPCC who has been seeking for more than 10 years and on the ruins of the dark and gray years that followed, to restore credibility to this sport. Some of his actions have borne fruit but today he is marking time. Despite historical support d'ASO encouraging teams to join this movement, we are forced to note that only 8 teams World Team out of 18 adhere to this charter (4 French and 4 foreign) while 16 out of 17 Pro teams do so.
We suddenly understand the reason…UCI demanding that the Tour de France receives all the teams World Teamthey are having fun like their first fagot of the MPCC since they are automatically selected! As for the Pro Teamthey know that if they want to have a chance of obtaining an invitation their membership will be required. So they don't procrastinate, register straight away and can easily resign once they have achieved status. World Team as the team did without complex Alpecin Deceuninck formidable brothers Roodhooft.
“No MPCC now has a strong opponent: Miettes Pfor one Ccycling Critual”
So here on our soil, in our pioneer country in the fight against doping, we have the largest organizer in the world who is forced not to respect his own desires. It struggles to pass 40% of member teams when the smallest Pro series or Class 1 organization exceeds 80%. What to deduce from this? That initiatives are good, wishes are respectable, objectives are noble, ambitions are admirable, dreams are beautiful, but the results… It's sad.
For the 21 victories on the Tour de France 2024, Only 5 were obtained by teams belonging to the MPCC and I'm not even talking about the entire World Tour season (3 out of 35), to be honest, crumbs. Enough to leave us incredulous. Despite all the respect we can have for his action, let's warn him MPCC that he now has a solid opponent who is also called MPCC, (Miettes Pfor one Ccycling Critic.)
