    Our friend has been published again. In case you just can't wait to read his book: How It Feels To Train For The Tour De France "Armstrong, Wiggins and Froome's former teammate on pain, pelotons and the pursuit of glory."

    Cycling is entering a clean chapter, says Phil Liggett

    Every time I read a tweet by UK Cycling Expert, I imagine Phil Ligget's voice speaking it aloud. I find it works pretty seamlessly.

    That may have been true until recently, but now he has been given the opportunity to tour around with others to promote the PanAm Games and the Milton Velodrome (and theoretically the future of Canadian cycling)...

    While I don't claim to know Kimmage's particular motivations, as I understand it Barry is also traveling around to represent/generate interest for the 2015 PanAm Games which will be held in Ontario next summer. They are trying to make this "a moment" for Canadian cycling, and he seems to be...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    He looks almost normal there, his cheeks were at least twice that size in the film. -- SPOILER -- I was also pleasantly surprised at the prevalent role Ferrari had in the film. Gibney was able to interview him, even to the point of showing him watching the televised 2009 Ventoux climb...
