    The best climbers in the world?

    Gesink just won the tour of Oman Nibali won the vuelta and being on the podium for the second time in the row. Yes maybe Gesink is a better climber, I hope though he wakes up and try other tour or he will finish like Schleck great cyclist , but no wins under his belt:D

    Giro d'Italia 2011 Stage 17: Feltre - Tirano 230km

    I know the plaace very well and I believe that not that much will happen. This is a day for escapade, and yes the descend of the Aprica is nice not too tecnical but with a beautiful tarmac in some part you can reach 100km easily but I doubt it you can gain a lot of time, but definitely a fun dau...

For the classic probably you need more punch and need different drugs. I recall that Mapei director...

    Is the Giro/Tour double impossible?

    I hope it is not impossible, I am not too in favor of racing just one event a year. I look at Vinokourov which is doing better in the Tour than in the Giro. Basso got sick unfortunately but he is definitely one who will study how to win them both next year.

    The official debate: Should Contador have waited for Schleck?

    stage 9 winners and losers

    AC and andy are the favorite unless any of them have a bad day. The Tour is not over yet, only half has been done, so I would not count anybody out yet, we'll see on the pyrenees. Levi I doubt he can do that much ,maybe Menchov and Ivan basso can definitely takes some time off to be in the...

    Is Andy Schleck capable of beating Alberto Contador after such a strong showing

    Andy has a long way to win the tour I do not think that AC is in trouble afterall with the huge speeed on the last climb and he did respond to 3 attacks before Andy left him. We'll see next week and hopefully they will be all tired and it will not be a business of team, and mates but just a...
