    Jan Ullrich still has it!!!

    That's Deutsch with a mouth full of marbles and 2 liters of beer in the belly ;-) Couldn't help myself, sorry. Good to see him riding again - must still be juiced, kind of like his old rival Lance. But then again, who was/isn't in the pro peleton? I hear he's doing some kind of Gran...

    Sunday, June 17 - Tour de Suisse, Stage 9: Näfels[LinthArena] - Sörenberg, 215.8km

    Hot Hard Day 52 racers gave up - I'd guess before the summit of Glaubenbielen, because they for sure didn't come up Galubenberg (where I was, fried from climbing it from Luzern the 'normal route through Finsterwald). A TT on the last day would keep the peleton big, but all in all it was a...

    The official debate: Should Contador have waited for Schleck?

    Sad Day for Andy Classy would have been to assert to Sanchez and Menchov the correctness of waiting for the yellow jersey. Where's a hyper-doped Hamilton when you need him???

    Two Questions About Levi???

    All you haters suck my sidewalls! Do you think there is any slim chance that having cancer might have attributed to his 'lack of recovering abilities ' in the mid 1990s? I do not doubt that Ferarri and JB potions are not a big part of the success formula, but the lack of objectivity of...

    LeMond's Pre-TDF prediction: LA will not start or pull out!

    the art of peaking I'd find it far more interesting to read an article on this from Lance than from Lemond. In any case as a cycling enthusiast I found no useful information in this article, and will enjoy reading the blog posts from the fat bitter has-been and watching all the passport...

    Return of pro level stage racing in Colorado?

    altitude noone has brought up that Colorado might not be ideal for the cyclists as it is at 1500 meters or higher where the racing will be done, as opposed to TDF or Giro or Vuelta where they go from near sea level to maximum @2500 meters personally, i think the return of big-league road...

    Vitamin D the new magic bullet?

    Guinea Pigs Beware The effects of 'Vitamin' D are not well known, but generally it's thought to affect calcuim absorbtion and regulate the immune system. There are conflicting views on Secosteroid D supplementation. Some feel that deficiencies in Secosteroid D are a cause of problems and...

    Will the ITT decide this thing?

    Reason to descend conservatively Maybe this is a factor in the lack of desire to go all out on a hairy descent the first day of the Tour. Any crash on that shoulder would be painful and debilitating.

    Advice Use a bike. Park in Martingy and ride up in the morning before the stage. If you get on the climb try to get 1KM up fro mthe bottom (when all the Asstana guys are burnied and the contenders are left alone), get friendly with someone with a camper van and a TV. Watch the guys fly by...
