    TV coverage in the US

    I signed up for DishWorld as i got sick of the crappy internet feeds and unreliable VPNs to get to other feeds. So far it's been great. I'm not getting HD quality really, but better than some feeds, and its far less juttery and full of pauses than when i used steephill or the like. and the...

    Where do all the stolen bikes go?

    i had my cdale EVO stolen and it appeared on Craigslist in my same city within 2 weeks. i and a guy who worked on that bike chased the guy off craigslist by posting that his posting was stolen 2 or 3 times. came within INCHES of getting the cops to set up a buy to get the bike back and...

    Finally, what's your opinion about "Vuelta"?

    sigh...such a common refrain these days. and i agree. i stopped watching in the last week cuz i just couldn't stand to be that insulted yet again only a month or so after the last time :) But i'm all for routes like this in the future...let's let the Vuelta be about mountains. no TTT, 1 TT of...

    Schlecks Depreciation Thread

    so so true....both Schlecks seem to whine about something to avoid any responsibility at any given moment. and to be fair, andy is getting a ton of positive press for a "breakaway move" in last year's tour that was really more about the peloton completely botching the chase. so the...

    Any thoughts on the Cannondale EVO?

    i know i'm late here.... i'm late to this party, but i'm about 3 weeks into my new EVO and i have to say this bike is truly amazing. switching from an '06 Orbea Onix, this new EVO is worlds different. it's extremely efficient in the bottom bracket through the chainstays... i can pedal at...

    Schlecks Depreciation Thread

    me three...at least more respect than his brother. Frank has actually been known to take off up a hill at the correct time without staring in a rear-view and stopping when others come with. andy? umm...

    Jonathan Vaughters guest appearance

    JV, if you could nail down the top 2 or 3 problems with getting sponsors on board, what would they be. is it just a general lack of interest in the sport from corporations? is it the cost itself? is it the perceived return for the sponsor dollars? what could the sport do itself (at...

    Jonathan Vaughters guest appearance

    Mr. Vaughters, i've been impressed that you took on Dekker as a project of sorts. Second chances are always good, and if the person turns out to be a Miller with real intent to be a good influence, they should be welcomed back. That said, what do you make of the debate about the "further...

    Cervelo Cersellos Out

    this all saddens me very much... i'm in the market for a new bike and just test rode an R3 and S5 on monday. i liked them both very much (and at least i could ride them - the other bikes on my list i won't get to test ride, e.g. Colnago, Time). i hope all this doesn't mean they fall apart as...

    Schleck should give up yellow.

    heck, i've been arguing with two of those people in a different thread :) take my word for it folks, do NOT point out the obvious. it only leads to pain :D

    How good BMC/Evans. The perfect Tour?

    srsly, and i don't say this as any kind of put-down or insult to you or mastersrace, but this is the strangest conversation i've ever had about last year's tour.

    How good BMC/Evans. The perfect Tour?

    You seem to have seen a race the rest of us didn't. AC was not in great form during that race at all, whatever his lead up. Lacked his top end punch, looked tired and had Andy not blown a gear change it would have been very close for yellow in paris. I don't think you'll find too many that say...

    How good BMC/Evans. The perfect Tour?

    i think Angliru took care of responding to this, but to throw in one other point as well..... i do recall the 2010 Tour, when Andy was hanging with an AC who was in poor form. significantly poor form for him. whom Andy couldn't ever ride away from far enough to limit TT damage. So i'm not sure...

    How good BMC/Evans. The perfect Tour?

    Hrm, I think you're misunderstanding my points. The only comparison I make tween Sastre and Cadel is that they both won in years when top GC people weren't quite in form. I just don't think it's unfair to say that there was a lack of real challenges to Cadel this year. We all watched it...
