Try Derby Triathlon club lots of keen cyclists there! ian ... From: "Andy" <anjo41@...> To: <roadracingukandireland@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, June...
will Lance ride to a 4th Victory in the Tour this year? If not, then ho can stop him...? I will be there again after a 3 year absence - watching not riding...
Hi. Here is a list of the new national road race champions. Its not a complete list as I have missed off riders that are not heard of and wont be seen riding...
Enjoy the holiday! Curious to know just how tough a hor catagorie climb actually is... I rode Salmo-Creston Pass, which has an easy side of 24km at 7% with...
Hi As Ive said in these pages before ridinga major col can be brutal! Col de la Madeleine - 20km of heat, 10% gradient in places. Col de la Croix de Fer - 30km...
Well tomorrow is the big day - the start of the 100th edition of sports biggest and best annual event! I have fittingly changed the background colour to Yellow...
The Bikers Prayer Our Cyclist, Who are in Le Tour, Hallowed be thy Wheels. Thy King of the Mountains Come, Thy Field Sprints be Done, On the Flat Stages as...
He seems to stammer with too many uh's and ah's. A few sessions in a Toastmasters club might help him to ...uh...stop it. Every time a club member says "uh"...
It seems that Lance Armstrong is human afterall. I must admit it makes the race much more exciting to watch when Lance does not have a 3 minute lead after a...
Maybe its a deliberate ploy to make the Tour more interesting - knowing that he can still open the field as and when he chooses. I think he'll make time on the...
I think Lance really wanted to win the opening time trial, but just wasn't up to it. He was not at his best for several days, but seems to be getting back in...
First Armstrong was invincible in the Time trial, then he was invincible in the mountains. Yet Ullrich has shown otherwise in both situations. Armstrong may...
Tomorrow is going to be the BIG day for them both. Armstrong desperately needs to take time out of Ulrich before the time trial next Saturday and tomorrow is...
Ullrich has suprised EVERYONE, except maybe himself. For the first time in a long while I found myself screaming at the telly and jumping up and down. :-) and...
well done lance! Yesterday he showed us all what he why he has won 4 tour's. Ullrich just wasnt strong enough to respond to the acceleration. In fact he never...
Lance definitely had the advantage in the last stage. He must have recovered from all the problems that slowed him down in prior stages. However as Phil...
Armstrong and Ullrich are not racing each other--just holding their positions until the showdown. It takes something out of watching it when the two main...
... == Yes, and even that net two seconds put a little life back into their competition. Tomorrow is going to be a whole 'nother story. Neither one of them is...
Superb ride by david millar to win the time trial. Apart from when he won the 16km TT 3 years ago.Britain havent won a long TT or got anywhere near top 3/4...
He said he was going to have a cold beer yesterday and had told his team that the beer would be on him if he was still ahead after the time trial. But even the...
What an amazing tour de france. It couldn't have been more action packed and it kept you guessing right the way into Paris. The question is will Lance make it...
... i would like to say that i did not anticipate the luck armstrong had this year. one might say that he did not either. it took alot out of him. is he still...
Maybe it's just me but I don't think he had the help from his time that he would have hoped (and expected), especially in the mountains. Not when you look at...
I think Armstrong has a decent shot at 6, but given that all others have failed ahead of him, I would not order the celebration shirts and book the hall ahead...
Is there such a thing as a lucky or conversely an unlucky rider. For example, Lance has incredible good fortune this year, the beloki crash could so easily...
Much talk on the radio about who the greatest ever was. Most people think Eddy was the greatest ever. However, don't you think this is a redundant argument,...
