On a completely different note – halfway across the globe good ‘ol Jensie was doing his best to animate an otherwise hohum day at the TOC: “The third stage of the Amgen Tour of California saw the first appearance of RadioShack-Leopard’s Jens Voigt, one o… »
@Bianchi Denti Great call Bianchi Denti. Cycling inquisition is an excellent site and Klaus is one of my favorite cycling bloggers. Always great stuff about the colombians and cycling in general. I picked up a copy of “Kings of the Mountain” from him wh… »

@huffalotpuffalot That was amazing. Janier Acevedo’s kick at the end was brutal. He only gained 12 secs on Teejay, but the way he rode away was impressive. Riders were sitting down on the burning tarmac after the finish stuffing ice into their bibs, jer… »
@Pedale.Forchetta Amazing photos as always. Thank you for sharing and can’t wait to see more. »

@frank While I enjoyed AIC’s music, I always leaned far more to the punk side of the Seattle scene. Early Nirvana, Early Soundgarden, The Melvins, Green River, Skin yard, Tad, The Umen and my favorite Seattle band – Mudhoney. Those were some amazing ban… »

Sorry folks, but the use of the word “retard” or any variation of the word “tard” that is meant to in anyway demean another person is wrong – period. Of course you have a right to use that word even though you are aware of its offensive nature and I fully… »
Nibali’s win in stage 18 is one which – based on his personal history – should rightfully be celebrated as a victory that cements his place in the top echelon of competitors in the peloton today. Should he maintain his current 4 plus minute lead all the w… »

@frank Will be rooting like mad for Uran to make this happen… that way I could at least salvage 8 points. Of course with my luck Evans will completely crack tomorrow and saturday, drop down past 3rd and I’d be back to 1 point again. Oh well, either … »
@frank My math is confirmed…. »
Gesink is done as is my VSP. Down to 2 of the top 5 and neither in the right place….including my 5 pt penalty for swapping Evans in on the 1st rest day my calculations have me at a whopping 1 point. My only hope was that somebody could pull a miracle a… »
Uran lost another 25 secs, Evans somewhere around 45. Gesink has yet to finish. »
Santambroggio takes the win with Nibali on his wheel! »
Apparently the fireworks have started as Sky has sent Henao up the road on the Jafferau. The RAI sport feed shows a light snow falling at the finish line. »
And now the Galibier is confirmed removed from tomorrows stage….dUran dUran is running out of vertical meters to pull time back from Nibali and Evans… “AFP are confirming, via French officials that the Galibier and the Col du Mont Cenis have been wit… »
@Buck Rogers So good….such a great movie and scene. I’ll need to find that DVD and watch again. »
todays “5 reasons” in Paved was about Hampsten. Some good video of him racing in the ’85 and ’88 Giros: http://www.pavedmag.com/featured/5-reasons-why-he’s-andy-hampsten-and-you’re-not/ »

Jens was at it again in the TOC. Best quote of the day: “Once I go I’m committed, and yeah, I actually have, sometimes I have confidence beyond reason, you know you can’t beat that out, I’m motherf*cking Jens Voigt, their not gonna catch me, right?” »
