Costa looks good in Utah...

I see that Adrian Costa has signed as a Stagiaire with Etixx Quick-Step

52520Andrew a 14 Day Tour of California would be nice... I think they could easily try to stretch the duration of the race from Friday to Sunday with a prologue TT on Friday at night in a nice downtown district (Think Old Town Sacramento or Gas Lamp San Diego). Then you could work North or...

Now that another Tour is over and the USA riders have flamed out again (TJ), I wonder what anyone else sees on the horizon for USA talent - the quality of riders from the USA is certainly on the downswing in my opinion - yet there are 3 WT teams based in the USA. Joe Dombrowski - Has massive...

He reminds me a bit of the young attacking Contador - will be interesting to see who becomes the team leader at Trek in the next few seasons. He could learn a ton from a rider like Contador on how to race, attack, and be unpredictable. He seems like he could become a spoiler type of GC rider...

HC Tour De France 1. World Championships (Rainbow Jersey!) 2. Paris Roubaix 3. Tour of Flanders 4. Olympics 5. Liege-Bastogne-Liege 6. Milano-Sanremo Others: 7. Lombardia, Amstel, Fleche Wallone ...

I was going through some of my photos just the other day from the 2011 Tour Of California - and boom - hey that guy looks just like C. Froome (shopping cart pushing arm position and all) in a team Sky Jersey. Wow it was him in a chase group up Sierra Road with Peter Sagan....I had no idea he...

This has been my thought as well.

Trek Payed To Have Lance on US Postal Lance wasn't wanted by any teams at the time of his return from cancer. I recall hearing at the time that it took Trek, of all companies, going out of their way to pay the salary of Lance to even get him signed to US Postal - Nike, Oakley, & Giro may...

Funny, I sometimes thought you were Les hiding out on here...

Will Routley's Comments I found this article thanks to a link posted by Ben Jacques-Maynes...It is nice to see a Pro stating this so well. Will Routley Article I think the biggest joke in all of this is the idea that a rider is "clean" after they stop doping. There must be some huge...

I started to really dis-believe around the time that LeMond started asking questions - it started slowly for me - around 2004 for sure. I also remember at Interbike Lance refusing to sign anything but the poster he was supposed to sign at Giro or Trek (nothing else!) - People were apparently...

IF a rider was doping as early as his junior years, collegiate years, or even as a "domestic" pro - and is now riding clean many years later - what permanent benefit(s) did that early doping provide him with? Some of it while we has developing and growing? I am sure that someone who doped for...

A good friend of mine was one of the lab rats for the cycling portion of this study. He said it was amazing how much recovery there was with the cooling. I am not sure if he was hooked up to the "gloves" during all of his tests. Maybe we need super cooled handlebars and/or electric cooled...

Instead, Armstrong attorney Tim Herman fired a letter off to USADA Thursday that suggested Armstrong would sue if USADA moves to sanction him. ”You are on notice that if USADA makes any public statement claiming, without jurisdiction, to sanction Mr. Armstrong, or to falsely characterize Mr...
