    Teams & Riders George Bennett Discussion Thread

    I am very happy for George Bennett's great season so far, and already his Vuelta Top-10 last year. Probably one of the funniest guys in the peloton - if you are looking for some genuinely entertaining reads, I recommend you check out his twitter: https://twitter.com/georgenbennett. He used to...

    Poems and Poets

    Los que ampliaron el Canal de Panamá (y fueron clasificados como “silver roll” y no como “golden roll”), los que repararon la flota del Pacífico en las bases de California, los que se pudrieron en las cárceles de Guatemala, México, Honduras, Nicaragua por ladrones, por contrabandistas, por...

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Arredondo is listed as leaving Trek on Transfer Karussell: http://06.live-radsport.ch/details_19594/TransferKarussell_ProTeams__Alle_Transfers_auf_einen_Blick.html I am hopeful for Stetina; I like Zoidl but he has been mediocre ever since he moved up to WT, I doubt he would be much use in the...

    Travel

    The most "exotic" place I've been to is São Tomé and Príncipe. That was a great experience and would love to go back there some day. The next place I am traveling to is Bogotá, I'm excited to discover this city!

    He's had a long career, he's done it all - now milk it for two more years before joining The Jensie on the Gran Fondo tour. Not exciting, but understandeable

    2016 Vuelta a España, Info & Discussion

    Congratulations to New Zealander George Bennett for finishing 10th in the 2016 Vuelta. I don't know when New Zealand had a top-10 in a GT for the last time but it could be a while. I have followed Bennett's career a bit since he was on the ill-fated Radioshack-Leopard team. He always seemed like...

    Re: 2016 Vuelta a España, stage 16: Alcañiz > Peñíscola 156. Nice job, "Hempy" (this is assumingly how Spaniards would pronounce his name)! He has had quite an amazing trajectory, from cyclocross to a crappy continental team, close to retiring for lack of any offers, gets a charity ride with...

    Transfers and Rumours 2016 > 2017

    Are there any rumors on what Linus Gerdemann and Fabian Wegmann will do next season, now that Stölting is going back to Continental level? I wonder whether both might call it quits for good, the chance of them finding a decent team again seems rather low to me.
