Great pictures!

Some of the better costumes I've seen where in Chicago, a couple of them used in every race (not just a Halloween thing). There was the guy with the SuperGirl outfit: http://www.snowymountainphotography.com/Sports/Cyclocross/2013CXSeason/CCC03-Dan-Ryan-Woods/i-RwDLF2q/A And the guy with...

The problem with these type of polls is that they usually lump all of cycling in one poll. I may follow road and cross, but have no clue about track or BMX.... under those conditions, presented with questions and options on disciplines one doesn't follow, it would not be unusual to go by 'top of...

The poll was run much earlier, before Sanne Cant had her string of wins.

Whatever suits you. Everybody is entitled to their opinion and I happen to think 100km before the race really starts (whether it is a mountain stage or a stage with a sprint finish) is not racing. The only fun part to watch is when it's windy and teams attempt to break up the peloton.

I generally agree with you. I like the length of women's races and feel like the men's races are often too long and there are 100km of a procession. However, I think the limits should be lifted and race organizers allowed to experiment. The different lengths can be used as an excuse for...

SBS from Australia had a 15 min recap. Visit the link under "Tour de France" in steep hill.tv (at the bottom of coverage for stage 21).

Unfortunately, NBC relegated coverage in the US to its Universal Sports arm, which is not carried by all cable providers. SBS from Australia has extended highlights: http://www.cyclingfans.com/node/14425 (watch with the Hola extension in Chrome)

I hope so, too. Why doesn't the UCI lift the limit on distance and how many stages a women's race can have? It is just ridiculous to have that in place and then argue that women are not strong enough (well, if your races are 100km or 40min , you train for 100km or 40min). Allow race...

You are confusing different issues here. The fact that women's cycling is not discussed in Cycling News forums is not evidence that there is no interest in women's cycling. Frankly, the tone of many exchanges here puts off some dedicated readers. Yes, Marianne Vos won. She is an amazing...

Thank you for that! It was a fun race to watch. I hope for more stages next year.
