So what does that say? How long was the stage before the other ascents you're comparing it with, how were they ridden (Hard/relaxed), how were weather and wind conditions in comparison to this year. Juan Pablo Montoya is still the fastest Formula One driver that ever lived. But his record lap...

Reading the posts of some of the cynics in here, I wonder why you guys bother to watch a cycling race in the first place. 1. Re: Horners performance. I've said it before - this years Vuelta did not have a high quality field - Roche could keep up in the mountains for crying out loud, so it...

It's called 'working out', because that's what training does - burn fat and keep/build up the muscles. Horner's performance was the most believable I've seen in a while. He was on top of his game with the climbing, but unlike other 'miracle climbers' he lost quite some time in the TT. He never...

Am I the only one, who thinks that Horner's riding wasn't as supernatural as it is made out to be? First of all, this year's Vuelta was woefully short of serious contenders. Also, it's not like Horner is leading by minutes. I can't remember seeing anything that he hasn't done in years before...

This was so utterly epic :D UK Postal insulted the peloton and the intelligence of the viewers by not even trying to hide how loaded on the juice Froome is. They deserved every second of what they were served today. There is a god after all...

First time ever that the leader gets his teeth bashed in on a flat stage :D

What a brilliant stage - this is absolutely epic!

That's got to be the most foreseeable poll in recorded history :p

Do bears crap in the woods? Is the pope catholic? Does the cheat do anything for free when he even bagged thousands of bucks for speeches for his own ****ing faux charity?

What most people don't like is not the money that O.W. makes off it. It's the fact that she provides a soft landing to the most despicable liar, bully and outright criminal psychopath of the last two decades.

Punching hard and Oprah W. are not exactly two things that belong in the same sentence, are they? If he would have the ball to come clean, he would have done the interview with Greg Lemmond or Paul Kimmage and he would bloody well have started with an apology.

According to reports in German media they had to split it into 2 65minutes parts, so either he'll talk a helluva lot of bovine excrement or the whole thing will be more than the minimum-admission that most people expect.

Ok, so basically the initial flaw in my idea is that for the marathon runner the recovery is more needed for the stress put on the body (ankles, joints, feet etc) rather than the exhaustion. The general consensus seems to be that without drugs people would simply go slower. Ok, so let's do...

That's what I mean. Wouldn't the last stages in a Grand Tour be ridiculously slow? I would imagine that, if you asked a marathon runner to do 20 competitive races in three weeks, that he might start out at something like 2:30 hours, but come the third week he'd maybe doing 3:50 or even 4h...

Since there have been discussions about other kinds of sports in contrast to cycling and thinking about why cycling has the most dirty image of any sport, it got me thinking. Is, what is asked of the riders, even realistically possible on pan y agua? Looking at a grand tour, I admit it sounds...
