    21 HC climbs the Tour should (re)visit

    if you have some fantasy you can have a lot of beautiful finish using praloup with these climbs ( imagine couillole, cayolle, praloup MTF, or the same barcelonette at the end of cyolle downhill) the turini can be used al penultimate climb , than you can climb to peille ( about 3,5 km at...

    21 HC climbs the Tour should (re)visit

    i know very well both the turini and the couillole. both nice climbs. the couillole js simpler than the turini , but it can be enchained to many grand cols in the area, especially the cajole, that it is avery interesting col if properly used by the tour. a stage in the mercantour region, with...

    21 HC climbs the Tour should (re)visit

    sorry linkinito, it is 7km of false flats fom briancon to the start the granon. from the summit of izoard you have to add the descent to briancon. in the cyclosportive luc alphand i did izoard from the classic side and then granon. it is a really demanding combo with the chance of digging...

    Carlos Betancur discussion thread

    when last year I wrote many times that betancur is a very talented rider, good both in the hills and in the cols. he is an atypical escarabayo: he has very muscular legs, like a sprinter or a pistard, but he already showed in the girobio ( the montegrappa stage) and in his first giro ( the...

    Colombia - Coldeportes

    nevertheless they arrived at the giro in really bad shape . they improved in the third week. corti completely failed in preparing the giro duarte is in the same class of rigo, as he showed today, mas o meno. he build his form racing. the period he spent in colombia was very useful, but came...

    Diego Rosa (Palazzago!)

    jacob nicely written but: passo dell' agnello is not in the dolomites but in the western alp in the provence of cuneo col d' esischie is another side of the legendary fauniera and tops 500 mt before the col. sampeyre is very close, always in the province of cuneo these cols are much longer...

    Rigoberto Uran discussion thread.

    both the colombians stop pedaling at the end and lost 5-6second to wiggins group. they looked very demotivated. i think they were disappointed by team decision but they accepted it because they are pro rider and being loyal to the team leader and dt order is part of their job. there are rules...

    Colombia - Coldeportes

    i thought juan pablo suarez would have come back this year to a decent level. unfortunately that did not happen. imho, he is the clear example of coldeportes deceiving attitude. anyway last year first sign of life of the team was atapuma in trentino. inope this year is not worst.
