    Speculate: Who will be going to Lance's new team?

    News reports in OZ are linking Cadel with Radioshack. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25826914-5019105,00.html But then again, that may be because Cadel is the only cyclist's name they know. ;) Mark Coucke pretty much states that Cadel will play second fiddle next...

    Spectators Running Alongside Riders on Climbs

    I'm just waiting for the day when a serious cycling fan, who has become fed up with these clowns, 'closelines' one as they run past. Imagine spending 4 hours waiting by the side of the road to cheer your hero as they ride past. Now imagine your perfect uninterupted view spoiled by some drunk...

    Race radio: can they keep it safe and make the races interesting?

    I love the idea of racing without race radios. It will sort the actual riders from the mere cyclists. It will be very interesting to see who attemps a breakaway on those days and who the peloton will actually let go.

    Rebellin appreciation thread.

    Job well done then. I assume his fans must be feeling so very not let down right about now. That doesn't make it ok, it makes it worse. He has allegedly cheated everyone who calls themself a fan of cycling. I say allegedly because I'm yet to see anything official yet. Only speculation so far...

    Bernie Kohl - for all those fed-up with discussions about doping

    I'd say there is most definitely something wrong! Simply saying that the situation "is what it is", is quite possibly the root of the problem.

    To forgive or not forgive? Attitudes towards doping within the cycling sport.

    Great discussion topic. This is something that I tend to find myself talking about faily regularly, with almsot anyone who'll listen. Like a lot of the comments here, I like the idea of lifetime bans for doping offences. But ... I think we might still be a while off getting it. I think the...

    Favourite Groupset

    For me, and my riding I can't go past Ultegra. (ie commuting and recreational riding only.) It just seems to be the best compromise between Price and Feel.
