What an amazing tense end to a beautiful race »
@Rob check steephill.tv links. Very good now »
Fabian eating up the gap now »
@RedRanger He did. I dislike his commentary in general »
@RedRanger »
@Cantona i meant him, not Jim »
And there he goes. »
Cancellara 20 seconds back and Eurosport is counting Jim out? Very premature….. »

I can’t belive there are people swallowing his bullshit that he rode clean for Retirement Shack. I guy who doped his whole life comes back to the sport after years off,much older, and then still manages to go toe to toe with contador for the bulk of three… »

Thank you both – and for the link. Good to know »
@Chris I agree. But in general — not looking at Sky specifically — shouldn’t the average speed of the peloton be dropping if doping is less prevalent? »
Here’s a question that was being debated last night with some cycling friends: Many are viewing the Lance uproar as a reflection of a time when doping in cycling was more rampant, and that today’s riders are in general more clean. If this were true, sho… »
@Giles It’s a good story but it doesn’t allude to Betsy being able to get compensation for being dragged through the mud all these years, which is pretty hard to swallow. »
Interesting conversation I was having with a friend: What happens with all the people that Lance sued for libel over the years (his old soigneur, various whistle blowers and journalists). Do they have a case now to try to recuperate all the money spent f… »

Lezyne pump as shown above. Used it just this morning and she’s a beaut. One tube. Two levers. ID, Bank Card, Phone. No patches, no multitool. »

@TommyTubolare First off, I’m not English, nor do I live anywhere in GB, so let’s get past that bit. Second, I too would prefer third in PR to a bronze, but what I meant to say is that there is an award for third in the olympics and that’s a big deal. … »
Re: first place, I think the olympics are the only time when that isn’t true. Nobody cares who finishes third in Paris-Roubaix, but in the Olympics, third place gets a bronze medal. That’s a big deal. Winning an olympic medal of any colour is a big de… »
@Marcus Probably not. Vino’s doping episode, coming when it did in the tour, just hurt so much more. Such a black day that I remember too well. »
Druggy cunt. Awful Olympic winner Nice worn from Uran »

Easily the most boring Tour in years. Amazing job by Sky nonetheless. Hope the Vuelta delivers more….. »

@brett Pardon me, but what a load. Ryder is a young racer coming in to his own and there’s no reason to think he’s “second rate”. Phinney wins a 10 km time trial and we have to suffer through a week of the American announcers talking about him as though … »

I love Fabian, and he is often the strongest on the course, as he was today. But if he doesn’t start to use his head as much as his legs he will have more and more of these second place finishes. Hats off to Gerrans for a great finishing sprint. »

Where I live we have a studio that has the most amazing indoor training setup. The bikes are all Cyclops models with integrated heart rate monitors and power taps. The classes are all geared to the outdoor rider. Huge LCD screen at the front that plays… »

Whenever I look at Bradley Wiggins or say his name out loud I can’t help but want to enrol him for school at Hogwarts. »
Bradley is a mod. That means he likes skinny ties. That was important for us to know while he was winning. So maybe it is now. »
