With only one eye, I'm picking an Aussie trifecta. I think I'd box Goss, Hausller, Davis, Matthews & McEwen although Goss & Hausller are my two preferred. Renshaw is also a possibility. I'm surprised Sky haven't put Sutto in given his early season form and the fact they have a team with no...

Maybe there should be a bit more of a focus on triathlon when it comes to doping. Rumour has it that the drug testers turned up in force prior to the start of Hawaii 2 weeks ago & Wellington pulled the pin on racing - coincidence? The woman are now running world class marathon times that would...

Looks like Cav might need to recruit riders for his Worlds lead out train. Maybe Morocco or Iran could lend a rider or 2 of the 6 allocations they get each to the British cause or maybe he could pay off one of the 10 Aussies who will be riding the road race? Isn't it great to see the huge money...

It sounds like it's time for the frame manufacturer to send you a new frame. I'm on my third fame with a BB30 bottom bracket and haven't seen that problem. I would guess that your frame is a high end frame & fairly new thus should be under warrantee. Push hard for a new one! By the way, I love...

The young Aussie's (& not so young) really seem to have come of age this week & this year. Stage wins today on both sides of the Atlantic with Matt Goss at the Giro & Brett Lancaster at the ToC. Add to that stage wins by Matt Lloyd & Cadel Evans in earlier stages at the Giro, Cadel fighting for...

Win a road world champs & you can have both the kit & the bike... Nothing I laugh at more on the road than some bloke riding in all white with world champs strips thinking he is Cadel, Ballan, Boonen etc Good to see BMC have resisted on this front unlike the Stars & stripes kit which looks...

Like I said, they would want to give her a big head start unless they have decided to add a swim & run into the TT at the ToC. That wouldn't surprise me either.

I don't know who Chrissy Wellington is but I assume it is a she and would want to get a big head start. This certainly sounds like an April Fools joke & only the Americans would do something so rediculous. I wonder if they'll invite Michael Phelps, Haile Gebrselassie and Cancellara to race...

For those in Aus, the Giro is live on Foxtel from 10pm most nights I think. Eurosport UK is now part of the Foxtel 'Sports' package - it is a must. I think SBS are also going to be putting the Tour of Cal on live which means TV in the office in the morning!

I ran an adapter on my Cannondale Super Six before SRAM Red BB30 Cranks were available. I made the change to the SRAM BB30 cranset at a later date & there wasn't really any noticeable difference. I think the new BB30 Crankset was a bit lighter & looks better (very important!). I would suggest...

Hi, I can highly recommend Bikestyle Tours & Island Cycle Tours. They are both experienced tour organisers who put together a fantastic package. Sorry, I don't know the third operator mentioned. See you in Geelong!

There are a couple of reviews of Museeuw bikes on http://www.bikeradar.com. Just type in 'museeuw' in the search box at the top & several reviews come up. There is also a review in RIDE Mag Issue number 44. They were very critical of the finish quality. They gave it 1 star out of 5 for...

Geepers, you're either a tough critic or living with your head in the sand! Bobridge rode the second fastest individual pursuit in history only a couple of weeks ago at the Aus champs. Only Boardman in the illegal 'superman' position has riden faster. Look out for him this week at the Worlds. He...

Someone may know the exact date that cycling started testing blood. It is interesting to see in the Aus media the big deal made out of the NRL & AFL (our two biggest sports) finally getting with the program & testing for EPO Cera, HGH etc. I think there will be a few surprises in store! Does...

James, i'll definately give your shop a miss next time I'm in Canberra. I don't like the fact that the overseas websites sell products online that are cheaper than Aus retailers can purchase them for but this isn't going to change and businesses need to adapt if they are going to survive. I...
