Talansky Confirms
Andrew Talansky has just won Stage 3 of Paris Nice and is in yellow. That is friggin’ awesome. Talansky has gotten a lot of buzz about his talent and his very vocal criticism of the doping culture. I gotta say I like his style. Despite the wrecking ball from Texas and the total lack of [...]
Strade Bianchi Beatdown
Strade Bianche is a bad ass race. Not sure if it will ever have the cache or Flanders or Roubaix but it is bad ass. Fabian Cancellara is also a bad ass. He has won the race twice but the third one eluded him yesterday. As quoted by Cyclingnews.com: “The best team won today, there’s [...]

This Is Gonna Hurt
The first race of the UTCX Series is this Saturday. Normally I would be chomping at the bit to throw down after a summer of training my ass off. This year I have been struggling to make training work around a less than optimal work schedule combined with a ton off off bike distractions. The [...]
Cauberg Curb Stomp
BMC finally got their moneys worth from Gilbert. He was MIA in the classics but 2 stage wins at the Vuelta was a good sign that he was finding him race legs. The lead in to the Cauberg was insane with the Belgians and Italians drilling the shit out of it on the front fro [...]
