Dunno about i know about this http://www.thelastkilometer.com/

The video is very ironic (in a sad way).

That's a disturbing video. The way he talks, his body language and his surroundings give you the impression he's a pensioner of 85. Difference is, he's only 40.

pics or it didn't happen

maybe he setting something up for nelson oliveira who said on the portuguese newspapers he would try to do something on the climb today. then again considering the source is a portuguese newspaper. . . is there even a climb today?

yes there was, final circuit with a short climb with 10% in there.

In the end it ended in a group sprint won by Ventoso though. By andy schleck and voeckler attacked on the final climb and led the race for a while

Interesting interview with Brian Smith, Endura Team Manager in Velochrono here: http://www.velochrono.fr/actu/2012/smith-prouver-que-tiernan-locke-est-clean/

Gives an update on the team and the performances of TGJTL. Also says they're looking at joining the biological passport scheme this year, in advance of them becoming pro-continental.

Interesting...

 

[El Pistolero]

The fact that he feels the need to prove someone is clean when there's no evidence of doping means he's not clean.

That is some advanced logic you're using. The real clean riders must be the ones who don't even bother turning up for dope tests.

Last year he actually got into many pointless breakaways early in the season. This sounds like something a bit more serious (actually contending the race), but I wouldn't get too carried away.

CWO stranded on Malta after Tour ta Malta. Have decided to pass on their participation in Circuit des Ardennes to Team Concordia.

http://www.feltet.dk/nyheder/klasse_af_christina_watches_sender_concordia_til_frankrig/

Yeah... except the French organizers ran from the deal and passed the participation on to Astana instead!

http://www.feltet.dk/nyheder/franskmaend_loeb_fra_aftale_med_danske_hold/

Sure, Astana is a bigger team than Concordia, but if they'd already said Concordia could have CWO's place I don't really think it can just be changed.

Viviani crashed yesterday at the Worlds Track Championships, during the points race (omnium). X-ray discovered a small fracture on the pelvis. He will now travel to Italy for further investigation. LINK

It was just a stupid and avoidable crash. Damn.

This attack was rubbish. Even riders from French unknown teams managed to keep up with him.
