Go Ryder! :p

Why is Martin more likely than Millar or Hesjedal? (This is not a snarky question..I'm legitimately curious as to what your thoughts are based on. I know/understand very little about the sport outside of the basics, so I'm just honestly trying to understand the intricacies of strategy and...

Any chance the Garmin GC contenders (or is it pretenders? ;) ) possibly pull out a stage win here, if Froome and Contador are waiting to peak later on? I think I read somewhere that JV was suggesting their approach to this Tour would be as animators, so perhaps some attacks from Hesjedal or...

Like some others have mentioned, I think Ryder is a Pretty Big Deal in Victoria, is getting some serious notice (now) in greater BC, and is getting brief "Well, isn't that cute, eh? Bike racing!"-type mentions on national media. It's difficult to be a cycling fan in this country...:rolleyes...

I would absolutely stay up for this......if I had a TV :( Thanks for the suggestion, though! Looks like I may be spending the evening immersing myself in Russian. ;) :p Thanks, guys. :cool:

Anybody have a link to some extended highlights of today's stage or, even better, the stage in full?? (a girl can dream, can't she? :rolleyes: )?? :confused: Every highlight clip on steephill and cyclingfans is either too brief, or georestricted (I'm in Canada.) Help! I'm so upset that I...

Hypothetical situation: Imagine you are a girl (fun, no? :p ), imagine you are in your mid-20's, and imagine you ride a lot for fun/fitness/commuting but have never raced or been part of a club/team, but then imagine you reallyreallyreally love being on your bike and kindasortamaybe want to get...

As someone who is "just learning about the sport", I'm going to answer this with a yes and a no..... :p While for pure excitement, marvel, and watchability I prefer MTF stages, I find that the "boring" classic sprint stages actually provide a lot more opportunity to increase my understanding...

My French comprehension is just enough above "abysmal" that I got the gist. :cool:

Brilliant. Mystery solved. :o

Awesome. Thanks, Caruut. While my other questions have been (mostly) serious, this is something that has always driven me nuts about Grand Tours: how the hell do they have a shiny new pink/yellow/green etc jersey ready at the end of every stage that is already emblazoned with the appropriate...

You guys are the bestest! Thanks again for taking the time to offer such thoughtful and illuminating responses. Nest Question that's been bugging me as I try to figure out the subtleties: How may DS's does each team have? Is it similar to a hockey team, where you have a head coach, and then...

Hi again, muffins. I've been neglecting my resolution to become an active forum member, and for that I apologize. I promise I'll do better! :o New dumb question time: I'm all geared up for the Giro, and am trying to find some way to be excited about tomorrow's stage (which looks flat and...

Not Contador. ;)
