I read he got caught doping also. It was normal in the 90s though

Here is a list of successful 90s racers not on dope:

1.

[Steve Hunt]

Froome & Thomas both out of Ineos TDF squad - surprised about G, not Froome

Thomas to head Giro
Froome the Vuelta.

ineos TDF squad has just one Brit (Rowe) in it.
Hard to say Ineos is a British team now.

Mitchelton Scott will have more Brits racing if both Yates brothers are selected, and that's an Australian team.

Do claud Butler still make bikes with campag gears?

Yup

Same applies to majority of first decade of this century as well.

Nah
All shimano now.

To be fair to cycling ... at least they get drug-tested.

Have a careful read through this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operaci%C ... oping_case

Highlights:
"Media attention has focused on the small number of professional road cyclists named; however, sportspeople from other disciplines including football and tennis have also been connected with the scandal, though not officially indicted."
"On 5 July 2006, Fuentes was indignant that only cyclists had been named and said he also worked with tennis and football players."

Shows how long it was since I rode a bike, apart from and exercise one. It was all Campagnolo and Duralia in my day. My first one was a Raleigh Sturmey-Archer 3 speed.

Carlton and Claude Butler were the bikes to be seen on

This is Ineos's (formerly Sky) TDF bike last year, Zambo



You'd not get much change out of £13k to buy it

The days when the gears didn't need batteries.

What do you make of Ineos TDF squad, Vespa?

I thought Thomas would make it, if only as Bernal's domestique

Do you think they are just going young? Most of them are under 30.

I think Brailsford is utterly ruthless, Vespa

Sentiment and past glories mean nothing to him. Froome & Thomas have not performed this (limited) season, so they are out. As simple as that.

Jumbo Visma are clearly the stongest team so far this year. I suspect he's banking on Bergal & if that doesn't work, at least he's giving the youth a taste of the TDF (as you say) in preparation for the future.
