    "Cow and Calf", a large rock formation consisting of an outcrop and boulder, also known as Hangingstone Rocks. The rocks are made of millstone grit, a variety of sandstone, and are so named because one is large, with the smaller one sitting close to it, like a cow and calf. Legend has it that...

    Motor doping thread

    I don't know what to say. So, if a teenage girl is persuaded by the advantages of this type of cheat in a CX race, imagine the lures in races where the prestige and money add up just about a hundred times more...

    Mark Cavendish excuses for 2016

    I'll readily admit, that I've never been much of a Cavendish fan - mostly due to my dislike for coordinated sprint stages, but I actually think that he will get a number of surprising wins the coming season. And with surprising wins, I am thinking of less straight sprint wins, and more "classic"...

    Teams & Riders Peter Sagan discussion thread.

    Re: Peter Sagan, a deserving World Champ!! Nice bit, and makes Sagan's whole analogy - however mispronounced in English - much easier to understand.

    What happened to ... ?

    Despite his performance today I've always considered Frank Schleck to be conspicious in his absence of actual results. On CSC he was one of the world's top climbers. The last few years he's done nothing. And yes, I know he was out of the game for a year, but I still don't think that that...

    2015 Eneco Tour (2.WT), Aug 10 - 16th

    Re: He didn't ride well in the Tour of Denmark. Of course it is not as prestigious to win, but he was in the lead and threw the victory away. It could have been due to poor tactics from Astana though. He was left quite a bit to his own devices.

    Wigans goes there. Cadence!

    2015 Eneco Tour (2.WT), Aug 10 - 16th

    Good OP. I am looking forward to this race. It brings quite a bit of excitement, as opposed to many other shorter stage races. Will Eurosport broadcast?
