    Cadel Evans Discussion Thread

    Would be good to see him have a crack at Lombardia as well if he can find some decent form.

    2013 Santos Tour Down Under: 20th Jan - 27th Jan

    This will definately be the best edition of the TDU (not that some of the past have been great to watch). The Montacute stage will b very interesting and in my opinion more important than Willunga. I think it will probably have a solo winnner or very small group but the gain will be very...

    Its tough work being an aussie cycling fan, ABC news channel just reporting that Leigh WILLIAMS of Greenedge won the overnight stage WTF?

    Jayco al-'Ula and its GreenEdge predecessors

    Was great to see another Greenedge win in a a GT and a hilly stage to boot! Finally Clarkey was able to deliver on his massive potential and crack it on a massive stage hopefully will be the first of many big wins. Will be interested to see how he goes next year in the Ardennes now with the...

    Cav takes tabloid heat for failed GB tactics

    I think what Cavendish and his supporters have forgotten is that these guys are professional/highly competitive athletes who were in the race to WIN gold as there primary objective and then if/when that prospect is not possible they think about silver and then bronze. To criticize Aus for not...

    The 2012 Tour de France polka dot jersey

    It wouldnt surprise one bit if this was the first yr someone did the yellow/polka dot double. At this early stage I think between Evans/Froome, with marginal advantage to Evans considering there may be at least one stage where Froome will lose contact prior to the summit due to the mountain of...

    Tour Rider Selection and Roles

    Interesting to see BMC leave out MORABITO I thought he would be almost a definate at the start of the year. CUMMINGS imo is a good inclusion for the team and will bolster the climbing stocks but I would have prefered if he and MORABITO had been included in the team to slightly bolster the...

    Angel Madrazo: A Legend in the Making

    Love Madrazo as a cyclist but in some of his early pictures he does stike an uncanny resemblance to the character Fogell in the movie Superbad.

    Tour of the Basque Country 2012

    Its been great to see Greenedge start the year off so well. I thought they would have plenty of wins but I was banking on them coming from the sprinters in particularly Goss. To look at the results and see that Goss hasnt registered a win as yet and to see how many wins they have despite this I...

    Congrats to Gerrans on MSR.... BUT

    I cannot believe the hate for Gerrans on this forum. The people carrying on about Gerrans not deserving the win makes no sense whatsoever. Gerrans won fair and square using his abilties best. He summed it up and quickly realised he was the best sprinter of the three, all he then needed to do was...

    2012 Volta ao Algarve

    Seems to be a lot of people on this forum that dont rate Richie all that much, which probably has something to do with the ridiculous comments from so-called proffessionals in the media that say Porte will win the TDF frustrating everybody. I think Richie has great potential to do several top...
