    Cameras lingering on the aftermath of accidents: Informative and Reassuring, or Tasteless and Unnecessary?

    It's obviously been a while by now, but my memory is they returned to showing WW lying there completely still again and again. And I also remember lingering and zooming, and the commentator going along the lines of "please stop filming now". Maybe it was not as long as we feel, but it was most...

    Ketones... the latest super fuel?

    I guess this one's confirmed now,then... http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/ketones-controversial-new-energy-drink-next-big-thing-cycling-151877

    Six Day Racing

    Yup, not bad... First and second links are different if you haven't noticed - First link is a four-split screen showing different parts of the venue, second link is full track only. First link is also available via the event's own site http://www.6dageslob.dk/...

    Il Lombardia, sunday, october 6th, 2013

    Where to watch?? Might have an opportunity to go to the race - if I can get the logistics to align! - so looking for suggestions from anyone who knows the race and the route and the area and so on and so on... ... great spots to go?

    Porte scapegoated for blue SKY?

    Somebody's running out of tinfoil rather quickly here... But then again, someone had to float the craziest conspiracy theory ever conjured up (since the one about how Riis bribed the Contador judges by building a bike school in Israel).

    Roman Kreuziger Discussion Thread

    Kreuziger is strong, but sooner or later Contador will show why he is the team leader.

    Roman Kreuziger Discussion Thread

    Alberto didn't react. Froome reacted and Alberto followed Froome. Quite a difference... I couldn't quite determine Conti's level today. He did motion for Roman to take it to the front, but at other times did seem to hang with one shoulder - one of the things I seem to notice he does when he's...

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Personally I hope Contador will be a force in the 3rd week (and before as well, please), but your comment points to one of the errors many especially the Schlecks made last year. Fearing Contador all the way through the race made him a factor even if he wasn't one. Nobody attacked as they were...

    Maillot Blanc: Who will take it?

    Wow - simply wow... Quintana looks awesome, looking really really forward to follow him in the coming years. When is his contract up for renewal? Hadn't paid much notice of him before now, but definitely newfangled fan here...

    The revenge of Rasmussen ...

    Nicki Sorensen was linked to George Mouton already back in 98 I think - along with just about every other Danish pro at the time. I don't think it's unlikely he was juiced at the time as so many others. He's the current Danish pro with the longest career and none of the other current pros...

    You Speculate - Lemond - 1998 Tour Stage 17

    I'm not sure the question makes too much sense really... When Lemond pulled out of the Tour in 94 with the words "this is not what I signed up for" I do appreciate he wasn't fully aware of what went on, but he was aware enough that it was down to more than his own form. Lemond pulled out...

    Vijay Singh Confessed to Using What???

    You forgot - "These are not the droids you're looking for."

    Jan Ullrich

    I don't see it the same way... If he were a coward he wouldn't write a blog where he basically admits to doping ("I was part of that"). He would simply either write nothing about doping or the past or not write a blog full stop. He's not denying anything. He's not doing a forced confession...

    Would you?

    You have no doubt seen that... But as a 20-year-old? 18? Past decisions are always so much easier with hindsight and life experience and all that. Me today with the environment and mood of today? No way - never. Me, as a young impressionable kid in the "drugs are standard" 90s? I'd like to...

    How do you like your coffee?

    What you know simply as black coffee. Instead of getting a cup of filter coffee - which is probably what you're used to, right? - an Americano is simply an espresso with hot water added. Similar strength, but slightly different taste.
