We hope all of you have a great holiday season and wonderful Christmas. Thanks so much for being part of the Cycling News community in 2025 and beyond!
I remember that last year even though he won Giro (think more prestigious than that) he lost to Ilya Kovalchuk (or some other hockey player, I'm not quite sure) hero of Russian National hockey team, winners of World Cup 2009.
I dare to say that if Astana wasn't the strongest team in this Tour, no other team was. At most some teams were at the same level as Astana... Wonderful performance!!!
Hey people!
I was wondering is there anybody watching Giro in Spanish eurosport? I'm watching this year's giro on justintv, and several times it was some Spannish channel, and they seem always have Contador live on line at some stage of the race, commenting. I'd love to know what he is saying...
I don't understand why Astana had to do all work in front of peloton? their guys waste their energy dragging the peloton, as it was only Contador and Astana willing to win the race? Fofonov, Vino... especially Navarro, he was pressing hard with only Shack riders at his wheel
