How are races ordered in races and results. I would think Current races first and then by inmportance ie. UCI rankings. Why is it that the tour of Burgos wasn't alongside the tour of Denmark 2.HC (3rd to the 7th) and is below the tour of Elk Grove?

Aug 7 23.40 Pro bike: Todd Wells' Specialized S-Works Stumpjumper

Metric Imperial measures don't compute:

Rider's height: 1.63m (doesn't approximate...js) (6' 2")

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah. I know I'm nitpicking!

In Tour of Denmark it's not called King of Mountains it's called King of Hills due to our completely lack of actual mountains.

Phinney finished seventh and so kept his seven-second overall race lead ahead of Edvald Boasson Hagen (Team Sky). David Millar (Garmin-Cervelo) is third at eight seconds, completing an all English speaking top three.

Yeah, Eddy does speak English but he's still very much Norwegian... quite a few of these guys speak English at varying degrees of skills...

in the story about the vuelta with the race director, http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/guillen-predicting-a-nail-biting-vuelta-a-espana, taylor phinney is listed as being with radio shack, which of course should be BMC.

Dear CN,

your Ullrich-pics look like a huge website error.
Please choose a cooler and nicer picture next time.

Not in magenta would be perfect. Everyone hates (men in) magenta. Even Jan.
Perhaps Boy George or Elton John don't -but for many people magenta was the only thing they hated about Jan.

Yellow is better.

Eeeh... this picture http://www.cyclingnews.com/vuelta-a-espana/stage-1/photos/162929 doesn't really belong there. He isn't Nat TT Champ any longer...

It's not pink, it's red(dish). Compare to the Giro section, which isn't violet, but pink(ish).

In this article Gregory Rast is listed as being 21 years old, but he is 31..

Eisenga doesn't say the Worlds are impossible for Breschel, he says that it's impossible to give a forecast about the Worlds. Rather an important difference.

From the Stage 11 Report

Moncoutié is the eighth leader of this year’s Vuelta and can fortunately look forward to a quiet first day in red on Thursday. Stage 12 is 167km ride from Ponteareas to Pontevedra. The stage includes several short hills and three finishing circuits around Pontevedra but is expected to finish with a bunch sprint.

Shouldn't that be Wiggins?

Stage 20 rapport:

http://www.cyclingnews.com/vuelta-a-espana/stage-20/results

Leigh Howard (HTC-Highroad) was trying his luck in the move again, along with Katusha trio Vladimir Karpets, Eduard Vorganov and Luca Paolini; Lampre - ISD was represented by Marco Marzano, Daniele Righi and Manuele Mori while Leopard Trek’s Daniele Bennati was in the mix, as was Pablo Lastras Garcia (Movistar), Jan Bakelants and Kristof Vandewalle (Omega Pharma-Lotto).

The team should be Quick Step.

Lance Armstrong solos over the line in Oslo in 1993. Rival Jan Ullrich won the U23 race that same year.

It wasn't an U23 race, at the time it was Amateur with no age limit.

Hi, looks like BMC's Murphy is singing a happy tune since signing with Kenda.

Well... maybe he'll be given the very special role of singing in order to keep the morale of the team up.

Of course, not knowing his musical skills, that could back-fire horribly!

When you copy then paste and dont bother reading what you've pasted this is what happens

Yeah seriously that is a horrific error

In this article you speak of Daniel Teklehaimanot as GreenEdge's first (and until now, only) neo-pro.

But a fter re-reading the UCI rules, I'm not so sure Teklehaimanot will count as a neo-pro:

The status of new professional is given to any rider who joins a UCI ProTeam or Professional Continental Team for the first time no later than during his twenty-second year.
For the application of this article the date of joining shall be the date on which the rider’s contract comes into force.
The age of the rider is determined by the difference between the year of his hiring and the year of his birth.

His contract comes into force in 2012, he's born in 1988. That's 24, and therefore Teklehaimanot wouldn't count as a neo-pro.

in the "no tour of lombardy for cav" article...

Cavendish was an early attacker at Gran Piemonte in a bid to show off his nearly-earned rainbow bands

nearly?!? i believe he completely earned them as evidenced by the fact he won the race
