WAW. I know it is not Giro or Tour but it must be great to be there.

Interesting jersey from de Gendt, did all Vacansoleil riders wear this?

 

[Moviefan1203]

Nice pictures, man! I'm jealous.

39°C pretty hot for me

 

[SKSemtex]

I really like the logo although it´s very WiggoFroomoTTSkyish.

Looks like Hushovd has decided to extend his vacation from early 2012.

Its 100 F on Cole Grade now, they're going to bake today.

Euro's are going to suffer big time.

 

[classicomano]

Cool thanks

How the hell did Astana manage to lose in the Kazakh nationals?

Best one I have ever seen. Everything on one place. Missing just video and your comments boys.

They even have great apps for iOS and Android devices.
Far better than the official Giro 2013 apps which really sucks.

It was 45º at its peak in Pamplona last year. While many of them will find it tough going, that'll probably be the same for most of the domestic pros too - can't be too many races in this kind of heat! However, the Vuelta can get this hot (and we've seen riders struggle in comparable heat before there - Scarponi in '11 springs to mind immediately), and any who do the Volta ought to be used to it - high pace and horrible heat.

Yes, European races have a lot to learn from the presentation of especially the Tour of California.

Yep Portugal in August is an absolute nightmare. I usually went out to ride only at 5pm and even then I suffer from the heat. I bet almost all those guys are more than used to it

Amazing site. You can even change the settings. Switch to metric units etc.

its a frustrating situation really, every single race organisor reinventing the wheel over and over again and here at ToC, we have the perfect application for everybody, at least the baseline technology seems right.

Vacansoleil is wearing a special jersey for this edition, in the colours of Bianchi (bike sponsor). Why? No single idea.

 

[Netserk]

It looks similar to the one they wore in Lombardia last year. Same?
