    Wouldn't it be great to see?

    I was just thinking, have we ever seen contador go all out putting in attack after attack over several stages? He always seems to make a big gain on the one stage and then just matches the attacks of the others trying to get back the time. Maybe (and far be it for me to wish ill will on any of...

    Who are the best bike handlers in the peloton?

    I think you'd have to include Evans due to him being a former WC mtber, plus winning the stage on the dirt during the Giro in the wet proves he must have pretty good skills.

    Bikes are getting uglier

    Whilst i can understand that the aesthetics are clearly not to mosts liking in this case, there must be some purpose. A bike like this is not just sold on name, the price determines that most people will check out the reviews before they buy so i guess there must be some fuctional reason for...

    Giro d'Italia Stage 20: Bormio - Passa del Tonale (178km)

    Firstly, Moondance many thanks mate for these you are clearly way ahead in the GC :D Secondly I really hoped Evans could win, but when i looked at the final week i didn't see it as being possible. He is a great allrounder, but when the climbs really kick he just doesn't have that raw climbing...

    TT specific bikes for age-groupers

    Very true you may not get that much extra in terms of speed out of the bike for many age-groupers, but what you do get from a properly setup tri bike is a saving in the legs by activating different muscle groups, which allows for a better run leg.

    Helmets for the world champs in Geelong

    I'm guessing you mean catlike, but if not when did cateye start making helmets? Had a few mates come back from OS after racing with team helmets and they all can't use the helmets for racing, some can't even use them in organised club training due to insurance issues, seems a bit silly if...

    Giro d'Italia Stage 19: Brescia - Aprica (195km)

    Agree with some of the other posters here, cuddles just needs to stick fast to Basso today and then try to get the bonus on the line. Both have to be careful to make sure they distance arroyo though, i don't think that will be a problem but i must admit he has been impressive to hang on like he...

    Bahati Racing to stop this week

    Cycling cleaner after this?????.........i think not, the universal thing about professional athletes is that they are generally selfish, they have to be to get as good as they are. So chances are you will remove a few now only for others to fill the void........reckon someone already...

    Millar

    Clearly Millar is being a douche, but clearly Landis is a douche-bag. I'm glad Landis has come out with the accusations and come clean, but I will never forgive him for taking peoples money for his defense. Sorry Floyd you are and will forever be a douche-bag, enjoy the douchiness!!!!

    Giro d'Italia Stage 18: Levico Terme - Brescia (156km)

    Crazy man Brown to take out half the sprint on the lead in Pozzato to come through with the win........very very sour Greipel

    Armstrong and Santa

    One of the best things about this whole situation is that when its all over and done with (with Lance busted) Lemond might actually be quiet. I like the guy and he was a great rider and champion who i hope never doped (otherwise he's a sanctimonious pr**k), but he shoots his mouth off far to...

    Giro d'Italia Stage 17: Bruneck - Peio Terme (173km)

    Liqui to push hard and fail, evans vino and cunego to escape up the road. Cunego wins from evans in the sprint!
