classic vids! thanks for posting those

Ever hear the expression "a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush". It means, It is preferable to have a small but certain advantage than a mere potential of a greater one. Why would you when you have the Yellow Jersey, possibly throw it away so that you may get it again with someone else...

I thought the original article (5/7/12) was dismissed by Nibali and Liquigas as being false. I guess not! La Gazzetta dello Sport is suggesting a deal has been done with the Astana team, and that Astana offered Nibali a salary of €2.8 million.

Nibali leaving Liquigas? 2010 Vuelta a Espana winner Vincenzo Nibali will leave Liquigas-Cannondale at the end of this season, citing a need for change after spending the bulk of his professional career with the lime-green outfit...

Kloden may actually race this thing I doubt he's saving anything for the Tour. Would like to see how Valverde goes he's been MIA for like a month or so.

I realize it's subjective, but how a GT that's decided on the last day and could potentially have been won by anyone of 3 or 4 riders is boring is beyond me. Also prior to the second to last stage could easily have been won by any one of 6 riders. I imagine 5 high mountain stages 4 of which...

Personally I really enjoyed the GIRO and was on the edge of my seat, maybe 'cause of what I thought might happen than actually did. Still " riders make the race" and "Since the riders are unwilling to race, we may as well try to force them to by making courses hard enough to create a...

I didn't know that it's based on TWO seasons. Thanks for clarifying that:)

I saw this a few days ago on La Gazetta and didn't/don't place much faith in it. How/why the Schlecks going to Saxo helps out Riis is unclear. Is Riis who clearly needs UCI points NOW banking on possible UCI points in the future? After all between the both of them the Schlecks have 4 points.

No in fact you don't, but its not as dismal a picture as you try to make it appear.

They have the 7th highest 2012 CQ team ranking though; 1. Sky Professional Cycling Team PRT 5909 2. Katusha Team PRT 5744 3. OmegaPharma - Quick Step PRT 5590 4. Team Garmin - Barracuda PRT 4929 5. Liquigas - Cannondale PRT 4765...

IF that is the case then fully expect ASchleck to show himself on stage 7. As he will surely loose 6:00 + in TT'ing and only have 3 maybe 4 (if he decides to take a chance on a descent) chances of making up that time. While i fully think he can put big time into Wiggins. I seriously doubt he can...

I think Gogo and Steve Schlanger are better suited to reality TV game like sports in need of pseudo enthusiasm.

Absolutely agree! by comparison PL knows a handful of top GC riders at best and usually spouts out some erroneous crap about them as well. P&P is a comedy of errors and misinformation i.e. During the Giro, top GC rider is missing from the front group. Broadcast has an insert stating said...
