I think the UCI needs to allow first year teams to enter WT events (e.g. Leopard, etc.). I say this because as we know sponsor money is rather hard to come by these days. Even HTC with I don't know how many wins this season had to fold due to lack of funds. If a company wants to throw crazy...

I think the first thing that Johan should do when he walks into that first team meeting is to cut the umbilical cord between Frank and Andy. If you want to ignite a fire under either one of them, then you need to separate them. At times they seem to depend way to much on the other almost to...

Ahhh...the search for the elusive "perfect wheel". As the OP said there are so many choices out there. Here's my take: 1. Learn to build and true your own wheels. I built up all of my rims up until about 5 years ago. It is a very rewarding process. If you can also trouble shoot and...

Greetings from the Pacific Northwest (USA) Currently riding Trek 5200 full carbon. I'm a fan of the grinders...the big guys who really pound it out...Thor, George, Axel (before he retired), etc. late, Coz

36. One will always ensure that the post-ride/race cool down is done in the most public of places to ensure that one receives the most attention from the public. late, Coz
