    I hope that wasn't directed toward me, since I've been a member for two years longer than you? :p

    Transfers and Rumours 2013 > 2014

    Exactly what I was thinking. I really would like to see Thomas (or any Europcar rider) win a stage and tomorrow might be the day for it to happen.

    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    Is it easier to hook up an electric motor to the 7970?? I kid, I kid...figured with all the clinic talk, I could throw in a little electric motor accusation against Froome Dawg.

    2013 Tour de France, Stage 14: Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule / Lyon 191KM

    No, he never caught doping. He also ran around with a "I'm drug free" t shirt during the Puerto times (if I remember correctly) in an effort to speak out against doping.

    USA Pro Cycling Challenge, Stage 4; Aspen to Beaver Creek, 156.4 kms

    I think it's more a hatred toward the weather than. When storms move in the Rockies, you can get anything from snow, hail, rain, to gale force winds. The stages where there have been issues are when the weather has been a factor. That does suck. Regardless, tomorrow I'll be up on Flagstaff...

    Thanks for posting that so eloquently. It is a shame that people have no clue how oxygen impacts a body. I really am not understanding the hatred toward this race.

    Voight crash

    Well written article about my favorite cyclist. My wife and I were really sad to see him crash out so horrendously today. I hope Jens recovers quickly enough to ride in the Tour of Germany.

    Official thread TdF Stage 14 Colmar - Besançon - 199 km

    I agree that Highroad is an extremely cocky team (one might say for good cause if you go by victories alone). I'll agree they do need to come back to earth a bit. I'm just disappointed that the largest slice of pie was served to George.

    Official thread TdF Stage 14 Colmar - Besançon - 199 km

    This is the 14th Tour de France races he's competed in (two away from Joop Zoetemelk's record). He's had the yellow jersey once. I will say that his Classics record has been marred by a lot of bad luck though. But overall he could qualify as a "legend" by the time he retires (if he can beat...

    Official thread TdF Stage 14 Colmar - Besançon - 199 km

    Pretty disappointed in Johan and Jonathan I have to say the tactics of Garmin and Astana were pretty malicious today. I understand that cycling is a sport so people are excused from being cooperative, but that was pretty crappy tactics. The interview with George after the stage really showed...

    Sastre blasts Armstrong ! "He has no respect and no point"!!

    I would absolutely love to see it happen. I don't think it will due to Christian not seeming to being fully healed from his injuries from the Giro.
