    Teams & Riders Team Visma - Lease a Bike

    Roglic leaves a big gap that the current roster cannot fill. They need probably two star riders to fill the gap. Ideally an up and coming star that can be apprentice to Jonas, like he was to Primoz. Who could they possibly sign to keep the team on the right track? Almost impossible for 2024 to...

    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    he is often toe curling cringe worthy to listen to and he rides in the hated "SS uniform"-esq colours of team SKY. But DAMMIT despite EVERYTHING Froome is slowly but surely winning me over with the way he is winning this Tour. Nothing makes sense. The world has gone mad! Froome is a...

    Saxo License Hearing Monday

    If they do loose their license it just shows what an amateur circus Pro cycling has become. In what other sport does a team get relegated if an athlete is santioned for an offence he did while on another team? Especially after the season has started! Could you imagine a Premire League club...

    Breakaway league? If this turns out to be true will it be the straw that finally breaks the camels back? Breakaway League in 3, 2, 1...

    World Series Cycling

    They would keep the three GT's and six classics. They would then add the 10 four day races. Presumably there would be 4 competitions to determine the best TT'er, sprinter, puncheur and climber of the season. It is certainly different from what we got now but I think it could work. Each...

    2011 Tour de France, Stage 12: Cugnaux - Luz-Ardiden, 209 km

    Interesting tactics from Leopard! Do they know there is one more mountain? But it definitely makes things interesting. The gauntlet has been thrown! Once we hit Lus Ardiden it will only be the favourites left - the helpers are being burned now...

    2011 Critérium du Dauphiné, Stage 7: Pontcharra - La Toussuire, 117.5 km

    Bit of a CAS fan myself. CAS won this stage in 2009 and I think he'll at least try to repeat that, so expect to see the pain-face up near the sharp end again :D If he has a good day I think he'll break into top 10. He's certainly a better climber than a couple of the guys in front of him...

    le Tour team thread

    AC and his compatriots CAS Nicky Sorensen Richie Porte These three are as certain as it gets. Then probably Gustav Larsson One more maybe Tossato? CAS will be a great mountain domestique and Porte and Larsson will be great in the TTT. Nicky will just eat pain and dish it out :)
