The articles in the Velonews, or the should I say the Boulder/Colorado Cycling News, on this subject are the most biased and one sided articles on the subject so far written, Good journalism is about presenting a detailed analysis of the facts on both sides of the argument, and in this type of...

Gagged by their teams? Awaiting new contracts so frightened to speak out? The discussion has been in Norwegian and English. Not many european cyslists tweet and if the do not always in english. I cannot believe Farrar is so ignorant to make such a crass comment about 'Vuelta being ideal...

It appears a number of people on this forum and twitter do not agree with free speech. I am not a big fan of twitter but to use soccer as an example, it was Twitter that showed how top sportsman were abusing the legal system to live double lifes and it was right fans knew. If cycling...

The fact that riders from other teams have spoken out shows that there are some people in the sport who have the moral courage to stand up for what in any other working environment would be termed victimisation, or bullying or discrimination. If the WC is treated like this, how do some managers...

While Thor might have beaten the curse of the rainbow jersey on the road and had a mega tour de France, I think from the s..t that has been flying in his direction over the last 2 days he is suffering from another version of the curse off the road. Even his biggest rivals like Cancellara and...

Best for the future of the team – you have got to be joking! Where is the final list for Garmin for Vuelta? If so, who is in? I can only find the provisional list on the Vuelta website and with no disrespect to the individuals there is no hope for Garmin to win anything at the Vuelta...

It might be regarded as ‘normal’ practice but I agree with Maltiv it is absurd in professional sport at this level. If Mr Stapleton wonders why sponsors are wary of committing to cycling, then look no further for one answer. I find it difficult to think of another sport who would...

To true! The most impressive thing today was that the Garmin team getting the break back for tyler included of 1 xGC top 10(Danielson) + 2 x top 20 GC (CVDV and Hjesdal). How man other top 20 GC contenders had to work today? How many other lead out trains included the WC and the winner of...

Most teams have brought a mixture of GC, TT and sprinters in their team i.e. Garmin, Sky OPL, Lampre, Moviestart etc and have contibuted to make an entertaining race. HTC have brought an 8 man lead out team who do little else but mop up intermediate sprint points to stop Cavs rival sprinters...

It is a pity he was not able to keep the yellow jersey for a few more days but eventually the Pyrenees and the alps would have been to much for him to hold on. At least the team tried until the last 10km despite 3 fallers today. The bit I fail to understand with JV is, that considering...

My sentiments entirely. The schlecks have done nothing but sit protected by their 'heavies' all week at the front of the peleton, leaving others do the work, and waiting to expolit others misfortune. At least Cadel attacks, and is prepared to fail

True Thor seemed to be genuinely happy for Tyler and Tyler very thankful but has anyone seen anything in the media from JV praising Thor for being in the yellow jersey since the weekend. Look at all his compliments for the americans but not one tweet inpraise of Thor and in an interview he...

Now Tyler has got his first stage win on the 4 July, the american sponsors/public should be happy and the media their human interest story. Tyler should now sit back and enjoy. Thor is far better suited to go for green jersey than Tyler. Tyler cannot climb as well and is not as resourceful...

Any one have an update on Soler?
