I thought the reason for making his own shoes had to do with how his feet fused when he was young. This means he has a slightly protruding bone that rubs against the shoe causing discomfort.

I recall he said he found them "relaxing" .... it was an interesting read for sure!

After recording the 2008 Tour de France to show my mom the race as it rode through her home town in Brittany, she started to reminisce of the good old days growing up and her love of the Tour de France. She was particularly focused on Jean Robic. I think it was a combination of his being Breton...

Today Phil called Oleg Tinkov an oligarch. Phil must have missed this article in the WSJ. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304477704579256001136342732

Funny! :)

Anton in the Vuelta. Purito this year in the Giro. Contador more than Froome, but I think that is just the order it happened in. Just more sad to see the 2nd contender abandon.

Is he going to wear his Stars and Stripes jersey to his chiropractic office? :)

I found a link to the full broadcast in Italian on Cyclingfans.com. Not that I speak Italian.

I saw it discussed on this thread and signed up immediately. I watch it on my computer, tablet or smart phone. I can also watch a race anytime from the beginning...like a dvr. I don't think you can go wrong with it.

So you did get coverage on the BeIN Espanol? I didn't, although the channel was working it was only showing the logo. Yes, I imagine it is only because it ran past the allotted time. And the later airing fit it all in.

I should clarify....I watch on a DishWorld app and there is a BeIN and BeIN Espanol. The announcer said to switch to BeIN Espanol for the remainder of the coverage (the schedule also said BeIn Espanol was playing cycling) but when I turned it on it was only the BeIN logo with music and no...

I was okay to switch to BeIN Espanol for the continuing coverage, but why wasn't anything playing on the BeIN2?

Yes, I noticed that too. I am hoping they are waiting until the 11th hour. I have a DishWorld subscription so I can watch on my phone/computer.

That was the problem I found..."when he speaks"....he rarely did (last year when I listened). And when he did he was devoid of any emotion. I hope he has improved in that respect.
