Team Clinic...

Looks like Big George learned a thing or two riding for Bruyneel.  Today his Columbia-HRC team used one of Bruyneels favorite tactics by putting it in the gutter to see who come to race.  Lance did.  Contador? I guess he was confident Paulinho could close the gap.  Garmin, Lotto, Saxo Bank all got caught flat footed with no one in the front group.  In the end it was only 40...

Tour Awards...

I am pretty stoked that Sastre was able to hold off Cadel in the final TT.  Cadel, man if you are gonna follow wheels the best you can hope for is 2nd.  Ya I know his team sucked the big one but he should have been driving it for all he was worth on Alpe d’Huez.  No way he should have let him get that much time without going all out to at least try and bring some seconds...

Burrito Power...

Yesterday I got to see some actual Tour de France coverage on the TV.  Hot damn that was some stage yesterday.  How many matches di Andy Schleck burn on that climb?  CSC certainly has the numbers.  Now they have the pressure of defending Yellow. Poor Cadel is going to learn to late that you can’t wear yellow in Paris by following.  Good God man just attack for a change!  At...

Whoa, Didn’t See That Coming!...

You know as much as I want to hate A Tour and write it off the racing is just too damn good. If you had asked yesterday who would win the TT today I would have said Cancellara without even blinking. Schumacher? Damn, would not have guessed that in a million years. Also looks like Evans is going to do his best to make a liar out of me yet as he took a big chunk out of Valverde today....

Bike Racin’ and Such...

This past weekend here in the 801 we had our Mountainbike State Championships of The World. Yeah, I got worked. Still though, it is the first time my slack ass has raced in the dirt this year. So even as I was getting beaten down faster than the US dollar I was pretty happy about it. Followed it up with a BBQ at the Big Ring Compound. Not a bad way to spend the day. A Tour de France...

A Little Much?...

So I know I came down pretty hard on Brother Boonen yesterday. Flahute has shared some good insights on the subject and it made me think why I got so upset. To put it simply drugs suck. I have seen too many talented people destroy themselves and everyone around them with drugs. Simple experimentation is one thing. I can’t tell you not to do something and expect you to listen. ...

Breaking News! Merckx Comeback!...

In a stunning announcement Eddy Merckx has announced today that he would be making a return to the Pro peleton with the Rock Racing Team. Controversial owner Michael Ball said “As many know we were in negotiations with Axel to replace Cippo who made the biggest mistake of his career by leaving Rock Racing. Anyway I bumped into Eddy who was waiting outside to drive Axel home and...
