Strong words Jon. Dont really want to comment either way as you obviously have strong views on the subject. You come to the riders defence in saying that...
While the tour gets underway on saturday, I will be racing a 2 day RR in Northumberland,England. The first stage is a 1 hour crit and sundays stage is a flat...
After yesterdays stage which included the two most notorious sections of cobbles in Paris Roubaix - Wallers-Arenburg and Carrefour l'arbre It left Armstrong...
Well, you can't say the Tour has been boring. I thought Pettachi woulda had a couple of stages by now but he (and Cipo) withdrew this morning. It was good to...
Bit of a strange first week. No stage wins for Pettachi or Cipo and lots of crashes and rain! So much for Pettachis story I read about - when he was packing...
What a day!! Armstrong looks in control....again! I wasnt THAT convinced though, he was hurting today and it showed. Even on his teammates Azevado's wheel he...
Well Armstrong certainly has made his mark on the tour this week. Too early too make any grand pronouncements yet, there is still a week to go and Ullrich...
I've been thinking about the record for climbing the Alp. Being a time trial I'm putting my money on a new record although perhaps not by Armstrong? If Iban...
Dave, there will only be one winner tomorrow - Armstrong. FACT! Will he beat Pantani's 'record'? I would say more than likely. But what you have to remember is...
This is actually my first Tour where I've really gotten into it. I'm from Canada so I have no one really to cheer for other than team CSC, which rides...
Dave, there will only be one winner tomorrow - Armstrong. FACT! Will he beat Pantani's 'record'? I would say more than likely. But what you have to remember is...
Welcome to the group Dan. Hope to hear more from you. One thing I can 'warn' about watching the tour 'live' - it becomes an addiction and you itch to watch...
Today I finally tasted success in cycling after a lean 4 years! I was riding my local Highland Games in Burntisland and managed to win a handicap 3200 m event....
Yeah, I'd have to agree that LA is the prohibitive favorite. I think it will be a fantastic day featuring great performances and epic suffreing. DaveK I'm Dave...
why did csc bother chasing Jan yesterday? Basso, in trying to defend his not-in-danger 2nd place, aided lance by chasing down Ullrich - as todays result...
from cycling news - Armstrong's time over the 13.8 km of climbing (excluding the 1.7 km of flat at the start) was 37'36, one second slower than Marco Pantani's...
Great stage today, but I agree with Lance, they've got to get some ropes or something up. Somebody's going to get seriously hurt running into a drunken...
Wow, I never expected Lance to win four stages in a row. I haven't seen the full results yet but it looks like there may be a few more riders eliminated...
One more thing. I know Lance just won his fourth stage in a row. Does anyone know what the record is for most consecutive stage wins? It seems like it might...
Maybe you had one too many beers after your mtb ride! Either that or you missed a day :-) Aitor Gonzalez won the the transition stage between the Pyrenees and...
This just popped up in my in-box this morning... Thank you for the correction. You're right -- too many beers! I'd forgotteen about "Terminaitor's" win, that...
Jelle Nidjam??Your're showing your age there! I think he won back to back stages in 89/90/91 I dont know what year it was exactly. Well done to Lance - 5...
A lot of names in this years tour,sadly never or rarely passed the commentators lips' this year - see if you agree with me >>> (taken in order of GC) Gilberto...
Not much topics for discussion on here lately so I'll just talk about myself!! On tuesday and thursday of this week, a not-yet-race- fit Micky underwent 2...
Man, the list of people getting busted for epo keeps growing and growing. Maybe it's me refusing to give up naive notions of the sport but with each person...
Hi David Sorry I never replied sooner - after all there is just me and you posting! I was holding off until I'd watched the San Sabeastian Classic - which I...
Mickey (and others?) Bugno's seat post -- that's pretty crazy. With that and the Fondriest frame all you need now is a pantographed Merckx crank set or brakes...
Congratulations on th GB track squad, bringing home gold in the pursuit in the form of young Bradley Wiggins and a successful defence of Britains Kilometre...
