Fun talk from Lance in Aspen: http://www.aspentimes.com/article/20110729/NEWS/110729820/1077&ParentProfile=1058

http://www.tas-cas.org/en/infogenerales.asp/4-3-4704-1092-4-1-1/5-0-1092-15-1-1/ I'm disappointed with the delay as well, but there's a lot going on behind the scenes. The day after the June scheduled hearing dates, it was announced that the five Mexican Gold Cup soccer players tested...

I'll never watch the sport again. Cheers, everyone

I think the cold and the altitude will come into play. Twenty kilometer long climbs with less oxygen towards the top should uncover some weakness. If guys can stick with Contador on the final climb, they're going to be hurting. Anyway, three great climbs, great scenery, lots on the line, and I...

Great job on the introduction. I hope this will be the second of two epic days of battles, but it could still all come down to Saturday's Time Trial.

Near the start of the last climb, someone went down on the hard right turn. Contador and teammates had to stop and dismount, then he had to use up a lot of effort to catch the front group. If you were watching British Eurosport, they didn't see him, they didn't see him, and there he was. I was...

After the horrible crashes at the Giro and the Tour, with Weylandt, Soler, and all the guys who had nasty injuries, how do you put crap like this out there? It's so effing wrong.

I did a Google search for those three lines of quotes, and they only seem to exist here. I also tried the first line by itself. Nothing

After reading the quote below, my first thought was that Lance's legal team is like the guys who helped Charlie Sheen put on those Warlock Ustream shows. They tried to go after 60 Minutes, who pointed out the mistakes in the complaint. This certainly won't slow down the New York Times, Wall...

Please raise your hand if you're compensated to post here. The timing is interesting, because the 60 Minutes piece was some time ago. Maybe the Murdoch news inspired someone? He can't successfully sue for libel, since the chances that anything leaked wasn't true is remote. So basically...

I thought the Schlecks looking to Contado for help was ridiculous, but one source today claims Riis said that Alberto needs to work with the Schlecks. http://www.sporten.dk/cykling/contador-i-seng-med-fjenden I'm not sure what this entails, but a guy from L'Equipe tweeted that Andy gets to...

L'Equipe says early parts of the stage could have wind gusts of 60/80 km / h. I'd love to see Saxo Bank off to the side front and vigil for crosswinds that might split the peloton. It's week three - they need to start having some of the good stuff happen to them, by being at the right place ALL...

Why would Andy Schleck be carrying his urine sample at a restaurant? I don't follow Andy on Twitter, but stumbled across this while Googling AFLD News. I understand that English isn't his first language, and he's limited to a number of characters on Twitter, but this raised an alarm for me. I'm...
