Actually for the race itself.

Suprisingly no Rusvelo invitiation this time, its suprising because they have been getting invites a lot lately.

Mt Diablo debuts at this year's ATOC:

Average: 5.7 %
Length: 17.1 km
Height start: 178 m
Height top: 1155 m
Gradient: 977 m
Maximum: 19 %

Mt. Diablo probably has the most patrolling police of any of the routes, and they will ticket speeding cyclists.

Haha in Australia we call that revenue raising by the police.

BMC will be fielding some very impressive squads in races this year.

But that is not one of them. Perfectly adequate, but nothing special.

A good one on one interview with David Millar. He even mentions Froome as a contender for the Tour.

http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/?pg=fullstory&id=10076&status=True&catname=Latest News

If only he'd shared this knowledge a little bit earlier... Vaughters wanted to sign Froome during the Tour of Poland, but he decided not to.

Grand Prix Herning, the Danish 1.1 cobble race, has been cancelled due to lack of funding from sponsors

The ski station Port-Ainé will be the arrival of the queen stage of this year's Volta a Catalunya.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

This is pretty cool - it's a much less well-known climb than many and there could be some interesting options in the route to that point.

Hopefully they can do something interesting with at least one of the other 6 stages now.

 

[Duartista]

Anyone seen a startlist and/or route details for Reggio Calabria, which should start on Saturday?

I've seen teams for Lampre, Liquigas, and Coldeportes, but that's it. Apparently the first stage ends on a hill and is the same as was won by Cummings 3 years ago.

Scarponi the favourite should he ride?

Canto!!!!

Wait, you wrote interesting.

But seriously it's March and Port-Aine is a difficult enough climb on it's own so I am betting on a 1-climb stage.

Sucks for Danish cycling in respect to UCI rankings (worlds qualification).
