    Kreuziger going down?

    :D If I were a doper, the lesson here would be to never come off the sauce. Or secretly clone a fetus whose lifeblood you siphon at regular intervals until said clone reaches puberty and becomes more interested in girls than being a blood bank. Either or. Anomalies, eh?

    The Climb (Froome's first autobiography)

    I admire the sentiment, but no.

    Wigans goes there. Cadence!

    Mouris does a bit of Six Day racing over the winter; he and Stroetinga were a good watch at the Rotterdam Six in January. Several Pro Tour riders showed well there: http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/6-daagse-van-rotterdam-2014/day-6/results Your larger point still stands. :)

    The Climb (Froome's first autobiography)

    The above probably should go in the Froome Talk Only thread. Oops. I have no plans of ordering The Climb but I would be interested to know if Froome addresses why he doesn't just own the Kenyan thing instead of being African when it suits him and British when it doesn't. Or is it the other...

    The Climb (Froome's first autobiography)

    Froome Dauphine ITT I always wonder where the favorites make up time on one another in ITTs, but it's annoying when the time splits are 15km far apart and based on Tony Martin taking 2 minutes out of everyone (well, almost everyone ;)). Eurosport's coverage of the Dauphine Stage 1 ITT allowed...

    When I said once-in-a-generation "specimen," I meant something akin to "responder" rather than "talent." He is responding to his training regimen, whatever it consists of, or he wouldn't be winning Grand Tours. My assertion was more that Armstrong's unique characteristics and preparation...

    contracts up for renewal and dodgy successes

    I remember when EBH could sprint. This timely renaissance of form phenomenon happens in all professional team sports. I suppose the interesting thing about cycling is that even if you are really talented already, "focusing more" and "trying harder" will get you squat.

    Changes Cookson has implemented at UCI

    You could have every rider and team car connected by radio to the race officials, who communicate official directives and accommodate requests for mechanicals, medical treatment, and bidons. Given RCS Sport's inability to coordinate its own media strategy on a given day, putting them or...
