What about Andre Darrigade? Anyone ever heard of him? 22 tour stages to his name... He might not be the best ever, but certainly deserves an honourable mention in the list of top sprinters of all time! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_Darrigade

I completely agree with the posters above. Cyclingnews, I love your website and you do some great stuff, but this is a bit over the top. The Giro is the second-biggest race of the year, and now it is ousted by something as regional as the TOC. I respect the TOC and I am interested in it, but...

This is terrible news... I have no words to express my sadness! Wouter, we will miss you. We will never forget. Rust in Vrede

The new news report says Franco will lose his KOM title and Giro second place... So this obviously means that Sastre will be declared second and Basso third. But what will happen to the 2009 Tour de France KOM jersey? I remember that the 2008 jersey had been taken away from Kohl and...

Cancellara Gesink Grabsch Gilbert Cunego Gerdemann Roche! Just to name a few. But like others have said, it can never hurt to cheer your lungs dry for Jens Voigt!

Mark Cavendish soon to be relaxing at the dentist.

If you were a real fan, someone who has actual passion for this beautiful sport, you would never give up on it. I will never have my fill with cycling, as it makes me happy every single day of my life, whether the authorities, Landis, Ricco, doctors, or whatever else, I will stand by my sport...

The Gorilla to Cav??? :D

McQuaid, McQuaid, McQuaid. What are we going to do with you? I have so much contempt for this man which I fail to effectively articulate from my mouth. If there is one thing that is ruining cycling, it is definitely this man.

Oscar Freire is definitely a classy rider. And Philippe Gilbert also, the way he can simply ruin a field while everyone has been watching him and knows he is the favourite. When Gilbert is in form he can beat almost anyone.

Or any other serious European race, for that matter.

Voted other. I would love to be a Voeckler, always fighting and fighting, but succeeding from time to time with glorious break-away wins. And like another poster said above: Be loved by all house-wives in France :D

Thank God! I had begun to fear for Cadel...

Thanks for your replies, I'll see what I'll do. I guess Monte Zoncolon is right when he says that it's easier to buy a bike in the UK as it is quite simple to go back to the shop for any repairs and such. Thanks!

Dear cycling friends, I am moving to the glorious UK after the summer to take up a job at a university. I have saved up a lot so I could buy a new road bike (the one I have now is a bit too shaky and unstable) and use it to compete in the UK. The problem is, I don't know if I should buy my...
