The one french pro cyclist, Xavier Jan, whom I would trust to race using only his natural abilities won the opening road race in Marseille. Since there will be...
Is it heresy to state that the Marmotte is an overrated cyclosportive with too many weak Dutch climbers and too little good sportmanship? I'm not going to...

Yvonne, you said: ....Or is rude and behaviour a characteristic of every cyclosportif? Is this the new kind of sportsmanship... ... I would like to answer. I...
Well, this is thin ice if we keep talking about the speed skating, but what= I hear is that there's for instance theoretically enough food for everyone,= but...
