    Classy riders in the pro peleton

    Doesn't have to go anywhere. With all of the "problems" in the sport, it's nice to read about a rider who stays classy and apparently out of trouble. I hate that I have to qualify my statement with "apparently" but it seems that's where we've come to...

    Classy riders in the pro peleton

    Just read the article about Thomas Voeckler's evolving team role. Granted I never heard of him before his stunning ride in yellow a few years ago, but he has seemed, at least from this fan's view, to be one of the classier riders in the pro peleton.

    Well done Tommy Voeckler

    I love watching that clip on youtube. My favorite part is when he rounds the corner, sees the time and pumps his fist because he know's he'll keep yellow for one more day. He had this look of pure joy, exhaustion, satisfaction, and relief all at once...

    Lance The Team Mate:

    Not defending Lance, but... Not defending Lance, but... Whatever you may think of his actions, he is on record as saying multiple times that he will ride for Contador if it comes to that. He has talked about the unwritten rule of cycling that you put personal ambitions aside and ride for...
