This could be dominoes starting to fall. Many of the guys who rode with Lance did not have great careers, did not make a lot of money, and were not always treated well. At some point why keep the secrets? I think it gets more interesting as time goes on.

+1 That is the beauty of the Giro. The climbs are steeper and tougher than the Tour. The roads are sometimes not pavement. They are narrow. I find the Tour incredibly boring. I love the Giro. I think the Vuelta is a better race than the Tour because of the climbing. The tour always seems...

Point is moot. This was not a difficult descent.

If bike races are going to neutralize all the dangerous parts of a bike race, they should probably start with the sprints. Mass chaos! They should probably make all races flat with a mountain finish. Any race with a round about or traffic island should be rerouted or cancelled. Cobble stones...

While it was a nice win for Van Summeren, he wasn't there to win. He was there to help one of the designated leaders when he was caught. JV never thought he would win. If he says he did, he is lying. He was supposed to help Thor. That was his role. Garmin blew the race, and lucked out that the...

I quit watching the Tour when they pulled Rasmussen and gifted Contador with his first, undeserved, win. I have not watched it since. It is a boring race anyways. I still watch the Giro, the Vuelta and the classics, however. They are much better races. They are much more exciting.

The article was talking about rides that have a "critical mass," not the "Critical Mass Rides." The author of the article fails to understand the difference. Luckily in my city and the surrounding cities/towns, police make an effort to get large rides through town safely. We have been...

Just as we know who did not win the 2007 Tour, was whipped up on in the mountains, and had it gifted to him by cycling politics!

That is comedy gold!

Half the riders from Europe only knew limited English, which included "Push, push me!" http://betterinhaledeeply.blogspot.com/2006/04/tour-de-georgia-rewind.html I did touch his ***, in a masculine, non-sexual way. Honest.

My first thought was "Wow, a James Clavell reference! And on a cycling forum!"

Three riders in the break kept 5 teams from working to catch them. King took out Livestrong and Shack. Zwizanski and Holloway took out their respective teams and one of them has already signed with Healthnet for next year, so they were not going to chase. BMG and Garmin were the only big teams...

I was at the race. Great seeing those 3 guys coming through and then King by himself. You could tell he was suffering at the end, but he held on. At the finish he stopped right in front of us, was off the bike and just hit the ground. Lots of other cyclists were very happy for the kid, he seems...

Kayle Leogrande- of course with all the black and bright green on the kit and bike, it is hard to see.

Meanwhile, Filippo Simeoni is laughing his *** off and probably dancing a jig.
