I'd fogotten how class it was to cycle in the alps :-) We headed down through Annecy on Saturday in 30c heat and over the climb of the Cret de Chatillion -...
Holy crap! Just found this message in my inbox. Spending this morning getting caught up on list e-mails with a second window open following the tour prologue...
Hey -- A question came to mind this afternoon. How many (and who) have won stages in all three grand tours? I tried a couple of different google searches and...
David, You can look up quite a lot of professional rider here: http://www.trap-friis.dk/indexev.html Unfortunately, all the names in the database are riders...
David,Anders Quite a lot of riders skipped either the Giro or the Veulta through much of their careers, usually the Veulta. theres some blasts from the past...
First sprinters battle to Boonen then. Man, he has some talent! Seems a bit weird having a tour without Zabel...or Pettachi..or Cipo. a tour without Zabels...
With Pettachi gone I thought this week would be the McEwen and Boonen show. Looks like I may only be half right. Looking forward to the TTT. The favorites...
When I heard that CSC were 2 secs up at the last checkpoint on what looked like an already phenomenal performance from Discovery, I thought - wow what a...
well, today I managed to finally do a Road race this year. That is the worst in my 11 years of racing that my first race was in July. Normally got 8-10 in by...
Amazing race man! Maybe the new Carbon frame and the nice wheelset helped you, isnt it? ehehe Anyway, compliments! ... the ... 55 ... Terry ... eyes ... me. ...
Tour seems to have flonw by dead fast so far. Looking t h past stages, I think Tom Boonen was perhaps a little overgeared in that uphill Sprint that McEwan...
Top race young man! How do you get to the front with little training? Must be natural ability something I have little of..... How do you find the new bike...
Hello again denmark!....and Michael Rasmussen (cool name to have ;) What a tour he is having so far - wow! where did it come from? He is so skinny its no...
Wasn't Rasmussen a pro mtn biker before signing to Rabobank? Today's stage was exciting but not really surprising. The only thing that surprised me was that...
So what happened to Vinokourov yesterday? Checking live updates on cycling news and he is leading up the Galibier by 3mins to armstrong having just dropped...
hi ian. The bike helped a lot. After a while when your flat out you dont pay attention to the bike, other than what gear your in. But I did notice a huge...
Hey Micky, Intended to answer this sooner, but anyway... As far as roadracing is concerned, Michael Rasmussen doesn't have that many results to his name. The...
Looked like a devastating stage today. I think T-Mobile had the right idea in trying to beat Discovery at it's own game even though it didn't work as planned....
Yeah, I like the idea of attacking Armstrong BEFORE the final climb and they did succeed in isolating him. I think they should have enforced a bit more team...
So Lance has done it again!! He now goes into the annals of cycling history....... but who do you all think will be in contention to win it next year? Former...
I really think it will be Basso and Ullrich and I think Basso has a pretty good chance of winning. CSC will need to get some more climbers to help him....
I'd go for Basso 1st, Ullrich 2nd and Popyvych or Kloden 3rd I'm a little bit biased, I used to work for CSC. Is it Roger Hamilton who's signed for discovery?...
I think it's Roger Hammond who signed for Discovery. Yeah, I think he'll ride the Tour in the next couple of years. He seems like a tough rider with a good...
Just read an article that says 1.7 people tuned in to the Outdoor Life Network to watch the final TdF stage. Usually about 333,000 people watch each stage. ...
