    Contador out of TDF?

    So if Clenbutador is given a suspension after the Giro takes place, will his Giro results be nullified?

    109th Paris-Roubaix. The Hell of the North.

    I'd like to see Thor come through with a win, but I don't think he's in shape for it. Is it just the white jersey, or is he looking a little overweight this year?

    Some bikes in the peloton better than others?

    I guess a more concrete question might be, Which pro riders have publicly expressed preferring one brand over another? Probably not many, as I'm sure they're encouraged to talk up their sponsor bike brand, not bad mouth it. When I read the tech feature on A. Schleck's new Trek, it sounded like...

    Some bikes in the peloton better than others?

    I'm no techie when it comes to cycling, but I'm curious--is there really that much of a difference between bike brands when it comes to top-of-the-line performance bikes? Could Cancellara win P-R without an S-Works? Is it an accident that most TdF winners in the past 10 years rode Treks? Does...

    Canucks: How 'bout our Ryder eh?

    RH is pretty legit. He may match his performance in this year's tour, but I think he'll really focus on and shine in single-day races to come. His breakaway during during Stage 3 of the tour was pure balls, and I doubt many riders could match it. Most importantly, he's not stupid enough to shoot...

    A cleaner tour? Which riders benifited?

    This response is probably about as definitive an answer I'll get. Still, I haven't followed pro cycling all that long and am just interested to hear speculation from more knowledgeable cycling fans. What would a forum be without speculation?:o

    A cleaner tour? Which riders benifited?

    Seems that most posters here think that riders aren't charging up this year as they have in the past. If this is true, which riders have improved or diminished their placing relative to the rest of the field? Which riders have dropped off because they're off the juice? Obvious examples are the...

    Greg LeMond

    CyclingNews editors wrote the headline, I'm sure. Lemond complimenting the "new generation" of riders gets more clicks than "That thing I said about Lance wasn't exactly what I meant." I think we all would have liked Lemond to develop that last part of the column rather than tell us everything...

    The official debate: Should Contador have waited for Schleck?

    Exactly. The level of Contador worship on this forum is absurd. He's no douschestrong, but Alberto's attack, playing dumb during post-race interviews and podium antics, show he's not the class act people believe him to be.

    Why do some riders always crash?

    Guys like Vande Velde complain about having bad luck. Is he really always in the wrong place at the wrong time?

    How clean is Garmin?

    ``It's unfortunate the past keeps getting dug up over and over again,'' Vande Velde said. ``It wipes away all the hard work we have been doing over the last years trying to clean up the sport and being transparent, when things that happened eight years ago keep being brought up.'' I asked...

    Bruyneel says that Armstrong can win the Tour

    That, and it just seems like Bruyneel is setting RS up to seem like "gracious losers" who never had any real beef with Contador and are happy to see him succeed.

    Bruyneel says that Armstrong can win the Tour

    Anyone else find it funny that Bruyneel is now sucking up to Contador and trying to demonize Vinokourov?

    McQuaid: “UCI will do Tour testing as AFLD has no credibility”

    How do you know the results are coming soon?
