Twiggo is dreaming of a Giro-Tour double. He has sent out mixed messages about his Tour ambitions. Will he use the Giro as the ultimate Tour preparation or will be burn all his matches in May and hope he can find another pack for July? He has abandoned his successful 2012 Tour run-up strategy of winning every stage race he entered the previous spri...

  1. @Dan_R Looks like 1965, when, I think, it was also the final stage?? »

  2. @strathlubnaig Gazzetta describes Nibali as the Padrone  - “ Santambrogio won with the “blessing” of the pink jersey, who decided not to sprint, contenting himself with earning precious seconds.” The time bonus also puts Santa just 1s behind durandura… »

  3. @Buck Rogers Definitely a nod from il Squalo at the last corner letting Santa know he wouldn’t contest the sprint »

Bicycles and automobiles- can’t we all just get along? @Kah writes about this universal (do aliens have this issue also?) problem of us co-existing with humans in cars. We all drive cars too and have cursed the occasional cyclists for some good reason. Cars are our greatest threat. We can crawl away from our own bicycle crashes, thanks very m...

  1. @strathlubnaig Fucking Ri-cock-ulous! Maybe he should learn to race then, or look at the road rather than his computer. Might not fall off »

I’m the first to admit that we are probably over doing it on the Velominati Kit article thing. That being said, I simply have to put one more out there, which will double more-or-less as a product review.I previously wrote a piece on Radars and Jawbones wherein I asserted that Oakley Radars are the ideal cycling eye wear and the following a...

But it is here, on the boundary between clarity and ambiguity, wher...
