Tour of Spain 2024 : the real numbers of dopingWill Sepp Kuss do it again? |
Tadej Pogacar, who crushed the last two Grand Tours, and Jonas Vingegaard, his runner-up in the Grande Boucle, are absent. Sepp Kuss is far from his 2023 level and cannot save his team's season, which has struggled after a 2023 year in which it won the Giro-Tour-Vuelta. It is finally Primosz Roglic who wins for the fourth time on the Spanish roads.
On the starting line in Lisbon, five riders were named in our doping directory, including Nairo Quintana, whose doctor was due to be tried in Marseille during the Vuelta. The trial was ultimately postponed by six months..
To complete this statistic, we present for the third time our Confidence Index (ICCD). It will shed new light on the teams in this Vuelta, perhaps, knowing who can be trusted..
"Who can I trust?". This is the question that everyone asks themselves every year at the start of a grand Tour. To provide some answers, since 2021 we have been publishing our ICCD : Cyclisme-Dopage.com Confidence Index.
We use this ICCD to attach colored symbols to the names of teams and riders in the lists below.
To understand them, click here.
The table below establishes, team by team, the count of the riders who have been or will be subsequently "pinned" in doping cases.
