    TDF Stage 14: Saint-Gaudens - Plateau de Beille 168km

    Think the Schlecks showed this week they just don't have what it takes to win in the biggest race. Up against competitors who for a vareity of reasons weren't at the top of the game (Evans, BAsso, Contador), they contented themselves with trainspotting and never really put the others to the...

    Tour de France Stage 4: Lorient - Mur de Bretagne - 172.5 km

    I thought the way AS stood virtually still, while riders with lesser pedigree rode past him, resembled the way he cracked uphill in toc. That said I'm surprised he only lost eight seconds ...

    If there's one thing cancellara wasn't today it's smart. Why would anyone stop when in front of the race just because gilbert is behind? Even if fabian should know that he is a poorer rider than gilbert, second place would still be a good launching pad for the jersey he wants to pick up...

    2011 Tour de France Stage 1: Passage du Gois - Mont des Alouettes 191.5 km

    Obviously it's a tricky situation for contador but he's been in this situation before where he allowed himself to be cut off from the leading pack, not because of a crash, but because he was a liittle careless. That time, two years ago, he lost roughly the same amount. The difference is that...

    Giro d'Italia 2011 Stage 21: Milano ITT

    The reason he was taking it so easy was he was saving his legs for today. That and being such a skillful time trialist, there is no way that Contador will not race to win.
