Yes, but health is more important than cycling

Yes of course, but I mean it's sad he has to retire because of a stupid heartcondition not because he wasn't strong enough ...

I would like to pass on a belated happy 26th birthday to Andy Schleck. I also turn 26 today which proves I've wasted my life

This may have already been posted elsewhere but it looks like Langeveld is off to GreenEdge rather than Sky. Matt Goss also looks likely along with Dave Millar - i thought that he was fairly dedicated to Garmin.

I can't say I blame him, no doubt he is still struggling with the passing of Wouter.

Daniele Colli returns to competition for Geox at the Giro della Toscana, after having had a tumour removed from his knee.

Recuperation was really hard, but it took less time than we thought. The doctors say it’s thanks to cycling, which gets you used to suffering, persevering and never giving up.

He should eat less pie and ride his bike a bit more

How dare he celebrates his birthday!

 

[El Pistolero]

Some people celebrate in style by winning on their birthday. On the Mur de Bretagne

Yeah let the guy eat his birthday cake in peace.

Now that would be a 'traktatie'

No Tour and maybe no BC for Vanmarcke, still suffering from a knee injury; fell during training

Kai Reus returns to bike racing, as a semi-pro at continental team De Rijke. His first race (pending licence issues) will be the TT nationals, next week.

After one winter of marathon ice skating, where he did surprisingly well, I hope that he can finally catch a break and show what he's really capable of.

if i was a betting man, i'd bet this is nibali rather than scarponi - a longer bet on having the man for the several giros to come.

looks too much like vino's calculating mind even before he became the general manager. kreuziger for the tour.

turns out i was right.

Kazakhstan team reportedly offered six million Euro to sign Italian

and every one who disagreed with me were right too

 

[jens_attacks]

Lol Astana seeks cooperation from Liquigas and Saxobank. They want to work together. They even offered Liquigas cheap gas.

I think someone is going to get ganged up at the Tour this year.
