    2012 Tour of Britain (9th - 16th September)

    Just wondering if Rabobank was invited and they declined.

    Vuelta 2012, Stage 20: La Faisanera Golf-Bola del Mundo (170,7 km)

    Any chance JRod will try to get 2nd overall tomorrow, or is it just a parade like the Tour?

    2012 Tour of Britain (9th - 16th September)

    No Rabbobank and Lars Boom to defend his title? Why? So Wiggins can wear jersey #1?

    True. That was a gift if I ever saw one. Nibali is the man.

    Who will win the Tour 2013 - Wiggins or Contador?

    I'm going out on a limb and predicting an Andy Schleck win. If he doesn't win a GT in 2013, IMHO his career is over.

    Best solo of this year.

    Rabottini. He crashed with 17k to go and then he gets passed with 100m to go but still beats JRod to the line. Then he collapses/crashes into his teammates arms across the finish line. Not to mention he isn't even on a World Tour team. Ep-ic.

    They are great. Very enthusiastic.

    Top 10 hopes

    I hope Domborwski will move from climber to GT rider. He won the Baby Giro and just came in 10th in the USA tour and 12th in the Tour of Cali. They are climber-centric tours, so maybe the Vuelta will be his forte. He better improve his TT or he will be another Andy.

    Vuelta 2012, Stage 11: Cambados > Pontevedra I.T.T. (39,4 kms)

    Also in a MTF there may be many attacks and counter attacks lasting several minutes. A sprint is usually one or two attacks that are over in a few seconds.

    The beginning of Andy Schleck

    I'm saying Joe Dombrowski is the new Andy.

    USA Pro Cycling Challenge, Stage 7; Denver ITT, 15.3 km

    My question is, does Dave Z have any chance at the US TT Championship next year? Or was this a bad parcours for him?

    Vuelta 2012, Stage 8: Lleida - Andorra, Coll de la Gallina (174.7 kms)

    The way Purito has been riding, I wouldn't bet against him.

    USA Pro Cycling Challenge, Stage 4; Aspen to Beaver Creek, 156.4 kms

    Castiblanco seems determined to win it back. I'd guess he'll have it by Boulder.
