    2015 Tour dFrance Stage 12 Lannemazan - Plat de Beille 195km

    Re: 2015 Tour dFrance Stage 12 Lannemazan - Plat de Beille 1 Looks like the terrain/weather for a Landis style break. Get away from the main group solo so that you can pour a few hundred water bottles over your head.

    Team Ineos (Formerly the Sky thread)

    Remarkable that back before the UK had won a major cycling race of note, Ireland - a much smaller country with little interest in cycling - had won a world championship, all three grand tours and four of he five monuments. And mostly before epo so has some bit of sporting merit.

    Why does Paul Kimmage no longer work for the Sunday Times?

    So you don't think Kimmage was implying anything when he said "Unfortunately, the only action they take is against people like me. I’m currently unemployed…anti-doping is not profitable and it’s not popular"? Also, speaking of David Walsh, with all this news of Armstrong coming out and how...

    Lance the Bully

If he had only been a nice guy he would have gone down in history the same as Indurain. I.e. everybody (in the...

    LiveStrong.org and cycling

    I wonder what will happen to Livestrong if Lance goes down hard. I can't see them disappearing but I can't see them continuing to exist either.

    Measuring Breakaway Gaps

    This is different from what most people have been saying in this thread. There are two possible ways of calculating time: this one and the one where you measure the time it takes the peloton to reach the point where the break were. This entire conversation makes no sense until we know...

    Who would win, Cancellara or Cavendish

    But I wasn't interested in having a "Who would win in a fight, Batman or Superman?" type of discussion. I genuinely wanted to educate myself about the fundamentals of bike racing. I got a resounding consensus on the answer being Cancellara so I consider myself educated. In hindsight I...

    David Zabriskie is a vegan?

    I'm a vegetarian, but that is one tasty looking steak.

    Who would win, Cancellara or Cavendish

    in a 200km one-on-one road race on a totally flat motorway with no wind? Obviously such a race would never happen but I think it would help my understanding of the sport of cycling to know the answer.
