    New Jerseys - 2014 Season - TeamKits-Maillots-Tricots-Tenues-and-Exotics

    It's hard to tell but Zoidl's national champion's jersey might be even worse than Kiserlovski's, and I wasn't sure that was possible.

    The Ride Clean kit was a nice touch.

    Bjarne Riis, saved by silence?

    Agreed, especially re: Overcoming. There is a great scene where wizened physiotherapist and longtime confidante Ole pulls Riis aside and I think tells him that he needs to start trusting in others more and not let the stress get to him so much. I love that the cameraman is apparently...

    Cycling is entering a clean chapter, says Phil Liggett

    I can't imagine the "lady" copped to it publicly. Maybe I need to start watching Bert and Ernie again?

    New Jerseys - 2014 Season - TeamKits-Maillots-Tricots-Tenues-and-Exotics

    Those white Ursus wheel decals are ruining that picture. A little Bianchi-FFWD style matching would have done wonders. Don't like the green Yellow Fluo patch, which is unreadable even at that distance.

    Changes Cookson has implemented at UCI

    Changes Cookson has implemented at UCI

    Why would the UCI or the commission properly incentivize Armstrong to talk? The only really juicy tales that remain as-yet untold are the ones in which the UCI or its officials were complicit. I'm sure Cookson would love to see those headlines plastered all over home pages and front pages...

    Boonen: "As doubles go, Flanders & Roubaix isn't bad, but nothing beats pastry-and-photobomb." :D

    Rigoberto Uran discussion thread.

    I don't think it would have figured heavily in his decision to sign for OPQS but, if he wants it, Uran will also be the clear choice for team principal in the hilly classics, especially LBL and Lombardia. The Ponferrada course could be a good one for Uran, so I can see him being happy with...
