UCI: at TdF bikes will probably have to pass through a scanner

After the stage, they'll likely check the bikes as well, so that people can't switch to another bike with a motor during the stage...

According to Belgian newspaper De Standaard (and McEwen's twitter) Kim Kirchen had a heart attack last night.

 

[Jamsque]

Scary. I hope he is OK.

 

[tgsgirl]

There's a seperate thread on this where I translated what the team doctor has told Sporza. He says it's no heart attack.

Dude... this is the general news thread. Not the random pictures thread...

Either way, nice photos.

Looks like TdS will have a better course next year.

3 MTF : Crans-Montana, Malbun and Serfaus and a possible finish in Grindelwald after the Grosse Scheidegg

 

[craig1985]

ASO should employ Mellow Velo to organise the race course. I reckon he would do a great job.

Maybe my english is not so good to understand such a nuance

Weening is really p1ssed of by not being included in the tour roster.

Dutch news

He doesn't understand the decision and says that the team has mislead him. He tought he would be a part of the tour roster. With this outcry by him, I would not be surprised if he'll look for another team for next season

 

[craig1985]

Has he actually done anything since fluking a Tour de France stage win?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yes he did.
Last year he won the Queen stage of the Tour of Austria over the Großglockner and finished 6th in the Gc
He finished 3rd in the Tour of Murcia and he finished 4th in the Tour of Pologne.

This year he finished 8th in Murcia, 15th in Meditteraneen, 17th in Catalunya and 24th in the Giro.
That's perfectly reasonable for someone with his abilites.
He is not a world beater. Just a strong domestique who can perform in the lower class stage races.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

he was also a pretty valuable domestique for gesink at last years vuelta. i understand his frustration.
