    An open message and plea to Alberto Contador

    Alberto: Please stop looking like Levi hanging on for dear life on the back of a Postal Train on a mountain top finish in the TDF. Step up your game for the 2014 TDF. Back to the regime that would make Tyler and Lance blush. A good program of cow's blood, hamster blood, epo, hgh...

    The old "feeling really good" stories

    Don't you love the old "feeling really good" recycled (no pun intended) dribble stories year after year on this website and others. This rider or that rider is "really feeling good" this year and THIS will be the year. Heck, my grandmother is 79 years old and she still feels really good, but I...

    Top 10 riders ever?

    Is Andy Schleck capable of beating Alberto Contador after such a strong showing

    In the immortal words of Pam Anderson in Barb Wire (stolen by Phil Ligget): "are you coming or not"- at Morzine AC's answer was not. Hopefully at Ax-3 the answer will be "yes" and then some. Great tour so far!!

    Is Andy Schleck capable of beating Alberto Contador after such a strong showing

    I think we will probably know AS & AC relative climbing strengths after this Friday at Mende and this Sunday at Ax-3. At Mende, after watching what happened to AC in the last km Morzine-what the heck will happen in the last 3 km @ 10%? Then on Sunday, Ax-3 (avg. 8.6%) right after Port de...

    What will be the decisive stage(s) of the Tour?

    TDF Stages 1-3: Decisive? Not Boring? After studying the maps, terrain & historical weather for stages 1 through 3-these might actually be good. In the past TDF opening stages have been a little predictable with bunch sprints at the end. These stages might actually be good: add in 1st week...
