    2014 Tour De France stage 1: Leeds › Harrogate (190.5km)

    Two riders bouncing off one another in a sprint is a race incident. Leaning off the side of your bike repeatedly driving your head into the rider beside you forcing him off the line that he is obligated to ride under current sprint regs too the point where you cause a fall is an infringement...

    2014 Tour De France stage 1: Leeds › Harrogate (190.5km)

    Great photo that asks the question: Why should Cavendish be allowed to continue in the Tour when other riders have been kicked out for less?

    Phil Liggett on Olympic Track events

    Track Road BMX MTB? we're all Cycling and P Liggetts comments are as anti-cycling as it gets. Agreed screwing over Track Cycling is short sighted beyond belief by the UCI as it pulls all Cycling down. Look at any national programs, the more medals on offer the better supported they are...

    GB Qualifying Fall

    Still can't work out some of the decisions, the GB rider seemed well past 30m when he took a dive, it's not half a lap like the pursuit. I suppose he should be congratulated for being a GB rider starting a race with a viable plan.

    Bike weight regulations

    Wholly agree, you can build a good 8kg bike for a 1/3 of the price of a 6.8. Often wonder if we need two categories one weight and material controlled and the other open.

    Bike weight regulations

    I don't believe that safety has been properly addressed and like the wheels regulation should be in place before reduction in weight is considered. I've seen too many carbon steerers break out during a crash leaving the rider to fly through the air with his bars on his way to a face plant.

    Bont launches new cycling shoe > your opinion

    I've checked the Bont's out and they're a well made light piece of kit. Michael Rogers currently rides Bont's.

    That old end justifies the means challenge. It's a personal decision, Livestrong.

    TT course around Montpellier a disgrace

    I don't think you have a clue what you're talking about.

    TT course around Montpellier a disgrace

    You can't blame the race for poor team decisions. In such a short race it should have been clear to all riders that with the exception of the contender they can't wait for anyone.

    Time trial_ le tour

    There's nothing wrong with the inclusion of the TTT after all the race is a TEAM event. There were a number of contributing factors for a 46 minute stage having such an impact on this years race. Don't blame the RTTT for a technically difficult course, poor team management and a lack of...

    Is the Tour de France overrated

    Definitely not what it used to be. No Sprinters jersey and 9 man teams are the main culprits. The Vuelta gets my vote as the most entertaining.
