Back when they were Versus last year, they only showed 30 minute recaps. The main difference this year is that they forced the 30 minute recaps to after midnight eastern time. As a current Comcast subscriber, if they want me to pay $20 a month just to see Universal Sports, I will save the...

As I understand it, Comcast owned Versus then bought a controlling stake in NBC. They wanted to convert Versus into an ESPN style sports channel and gain the cache of NBC by rebranding. What I do not understand is why Comcast would stop making Universal Sports available. I was one of those...

I agree. The RadioShack jersey sucks. Zero creativity.

After reading today's comments from Flavio, I doubt Radio Shack will have much interest in sponsoring his big headed cycling team for more than a year. Why would a second rate spare radio part outlet in the US be interested in sponsoring a team that is Luxembourg-focused in the first and last...

Saur, Cofidis (per usual) and Katusha were completely invisible. The first two did not display any proof that they deserved their wild cards. Besides Roy being in every single break this year, FDJ did nothing of note. There are many on this forum who would rank Radioshack as the worst...

I liked Andy Schleck until chain gate exposed him as a complete moron who cannot even shift a bike. Pretty much everything he has said since that incident has been moronic. Also, when was the last race he actually tried to win...last year's tour?

I enjoyed watching stage 5 of the tour today where Cav beat Fast Phil to the line. Where was Griepel?

I would be curious how it breaks down in terms of: 1) Average speed on flat stages each year. 2) Average speed on Cat 4 climbs per year. 3) Average speed on Cat 3 climbs per year. 4) Average speed on Cat 2 climbs per year. 5) Average speed on Cat 1 climbs per year. 6) Average speed on HC...

That Swiss champ jersey sucks. Movistar and Leopard have done a crap job with the national champ jerseys. At least Quickstep seem to know how to do it right.

Judging by the yearly crap Tour hype on VS, my picks for over rated include: George Hincapie Tyler Farrar Chris Horner Tom Danielson

Not one of you panned Bicycling. If there ever was a mag that printed the exact same content every month, this is it. Besides, if you visit their website, all the content is there too. Peloton is pretty good. First copy I saw had a story about frites so I had to give it a read. Road Bike...

The importance is obvious if you consider that an erupting volcano might be a bit of a safety risk for the riders that are to ride up the side of it on the way to the summit. Of course it might be exciting to see which riders will be burned alive by hot ash and lava flows or sufficate from...

Cancellara should have won Paris-Roubaix this year. As has been said already, he could and did ride Thor and Ballan off his wheel in the end. He also caught and beat the entire breakaway, save one, to the line. His fault was sitting up and wasting energy *****ing about Thor and Ballan instead...

It is actually annoying that the various governing bodies, media, teams, armchair doping fanboys, riders, and rider's wives choose to be so fixated on the subject of doping in cycling. They want to make such a huge case about every positive. Because these people make a big deal about it, it is...

Zirbel should have thought more before he spoke. After saying he narced on two people, I wonder if he will find an ice filled water bottle chucked into his spokes.
