Phil can time trial very well (US Nationals Road Race solo break), but to gain enough to be safe against Quintana on Saturday? I hope he can but today was telling.

Gaimon can do it. He's got good support and lots of time in his pocket. Today was hard for him for sure after being in the break all day yesterday, but he made it through it. Should be ok now. I ordered his book after stage 1. :)

I'd get one of the chinese carbon froms from ebay and put the 105 parts on it, for $450, or buy the chinese carbon and spring for the new ultegra group and some neuvations for right at $1600 or $1700 Full carbon Ultegra is not very common at that price. But that's just me and many will diagree...

I watched on tv and if the timing of different camera shots was accurate, this is what I think happened. When Popo went to the team car he was told Levi was having a bad day. He immediately attacked and started riding like a stage win was his goal and not a leap frog helper for Levi on the...

A 19 foot rowing shell complete with drop in sliding seat rigger and 9 foot wooden oars! Hull was banged up but the rest was good. Rode back to the house and the guy said I could have it. Rode home and got my truck and hauled it home. Fixed the 7 or so major holes and took a rowing class...

$600 for a pair of Carbon 50mm deep tubies? I weight 190 and race crits on them. No problems what so ever. Best wheel "value" choice out there.

Old school sprinters used to put rear brake on left so they could drop their right hand to the down tube shifters and shift while feathering the rear brake in the last turn of a criterium. Some still do it because their instinct and habit patterns are locked in.

When organizers get arm twisted by non bike racing city officials and policemen trying to approve a bike race course bad things happen. I have raced on some very crappy courses. I know what it feels like to line up and race when I have a bad feeling in my gut about the course. I don't think...

Do you mean Dave McCook? Team Slimfast, Plymouth, Jellybelly? He was a mad man!

road race corner marshal First few miles of a masters road race. I was attacking hard and two riders came up to me. Had sherrif's car and an officials car leading us. Coming up on blind corner, both cars stop in intersection for a few seconds then both continue rolling. So we roll! The...
