For me it was Ben Gastauer, he was an unknown rider at the start. At the end he was the one who brought the Team-Victory Home, with him being regularly the third man of AG2R. He pulled hard on Risoul, then with 5 km to go, let the Best fight for victory, just to be told be his Directeur...

This year's field is so weak, because the Tour de Luxembourg interferes with the Dauphin?e (it usually does) and this year Tour de Mayence (where most French WT Teams are). Problem has been identified and will be solved in next year's Race, as per the Organisator (see Tageblatt Article of...

I watched France 2, when Marc Madiot complained. To make it clear, he did not complain about the Bus! He complained about the decision to move the Finish Line 3km before the original Finish Line, with no more then 10 km to go, just to cancel that decision 2km later, by using the origin Finish...

Hi I am a luxemburgish speaking native and can confirm the translation made by Bala Verde. Voll means drunk If he is going to speak on TV, it means that he follow the wish of Team Owner Flavio Becca, who requested Andy to speak in public about the story of Munich and his...

Looks like a monster of a mountain, but not sure what the gradients are for the last km?

He is "only" 19, so he still has time to become Pro. However, I hope to see him soon in the Pro Circuit, as he shown a bit of his talent lately.

If Horner, Voigt and Zubeldia would be in, would it then mean that F.Schleck would be out:eek: Not that Andy rode badly, when his brother was not there

I believe that if A. Schleck wants to try something at the tour, he needs good climbers in the team, who can weaken the opponants on the mountains, coming to the foot of the mountain with a strong tempo and then keeping the tempo high. Therefore, my pick for the Tour would be: Andy Schleck...

Don't know if this a serious question, anyway he was 17 seconds down. This with a flat tyre, not that bad, I would say. Just came back from the Team presentation and the Start of today's stage. Weather is quite bad with rain, but over 20 degrees. The presentation of Jakob Fuglsang and...

Just came back from the Prologue. Nice to see, you could walk from the Departure line to the Finish in about 2 minutes and a half, just in time to see the rider leaving the ramp, arriving :) What I found interesting is that Bob Jungels has a better time then Fränk Schleck, while F. Schleck...

I think it is nice to hear from Jan again. What surprise me are the amount of negative comments on his blog on the webpage. I think that the German Cycling has a mountain to climb to get over the Doping cases of the past. There is still so much unpleasant feeling towards to old idols that...

Still better then Contador
