    Bigger Achievement: Rio or Doha?

    To twist the question a little; Which is bigger? Being Olympic champ is bigger to the general public. Being World champ is bigger to the cycling fan. Nicole Cooke won both within a few weeks of each other in 2008; can someone ask her to settle this!?

    Stage 16, San Martín del Rey Aurelio - La Farrapona, Lagos de Somiedo

    Random question; but why in general are the time gaps so much smaller on the climbs in la vuelta compared for example to the climbs in le tour?

    Who's going to gain the most on the cobbles?

    Froome may be very light but he still produces a lot of watts. If he didn't then he wouldnt be such a good time triallist. Pure mountain goats would be very vulnerable for the reason you state; but guys like pozzovivo or even quintana aren't here. Going to hopefully be pretty epic no matter...

    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    I don't know this for a fact but I think all prize money is pooled together and split equally between the team. I think Wiggos prize money was split fine; it was actually his win bonus from the team (or sponsors) that he withheld from Froome but gave to the rest of the team. This would have...

    2014 National Championships

    I assume its probably something to do with the category of his racing licence? And Michael Hutchinson who "won" the elite was joking earlier in the week on twitter that he definitely wouldn't be catching the rider in front of him this year; that rider being Ryan Mullen
