On stage two there was a shot of Ballan, to which Phil said 'theres the road race world champion, Bert Grabsch"

i agree, the best way would be to ride tempo, i have noticed that with contador, when he attacks he quickly pulls out 30-60 seconds but then struggles to pull out any further advantage. this shows that he is very explosive but lacks the stamina for a sustained attack, whereas if you look back LA...

Sastre might be a decent outside bet, if he can stay close to Contador in the mountains (i.e ahead of the likes of schleck, armstrong), then limit his losses in the TT. He could win if Contador bonks on the Ventoux.

This is a recent Twitter update from team Columbia rider Greg Henderson Greghenderson1 Some interesting announcements to be made tomorrow. Very interesting. All good for the sport of cycling though. 24 minutes ago what are everybodies thoughts on what this means? do you think it has...

I thought i would start a 'one word story' thread, these work by people adding posts to build up a story through the thread. here are the rules - each post must add only one word to the thread - nobody may post two consecutive replies I'll start, Lance Armstrong ........

I cant see anybody but Astana winning, with rides like Contador, Armstrong, Leipheimer and Kloeden, they are probably the best TT team on paper. Contador and Armstrong could have a lead of 2-3 minutes on a rider like Sastre before the first mountain stage based on the ITT and TTT.

Before the Giro this year we heard that Italian authorities were retesting samples from the Giro 08 for CERA. Has anybody heard any more news on this subject?

thanks thanks for the great advice

Can anybody recommend a decent road bike for about £500/$800 I am looking to buy my first road bike and don't want to spend too much on it, can you please give me some recommendations thank you.

team sky Do you think the newly forming 'team Sky' would take a punt on him, they are rumoured to have a €15 million budget?

I totally agree, I think lance knows that AC would probably beat him head to head and wiill therefore not try to 'race' him. Lance will be there in about second or third place incase AC has to abandon.

It is almost certain that AC will leave Astana, but there are not many teams that can afford his wages! Where do you think he will be next year?

possible sponsors I definitely think that Armstrong will take over Astana, I think that he could get nike on board and have the livestrong-nike team. Any other opinions?
