Taylor Phinney to BMC?

In a move that would seem to be bound to piss off Lance Armstrong and the rest of the Team Radio Shack organization, cyclismag is reporting that Taylor Phinney will NOT be racing for TRS in 2011, but instead has signed with BMC Racing.

Taylor Phinney ne courra pas pour Radio Shack

Rider Down: Laurent Fignon

Laurent Fignon (1960 – 2010)

Former two-time Tour de France winner Laurent Fignon has died aged 50 following a battle with cancer, the Pitie-Salpetriere hospital in Paris confirmed on Tuesday.

Sad day in the 801

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Bryner family, but especially to Cat 1 bad-ass Norm Bryner, whose father was killed this morning.

SALT LAKE CITY — A 47-year-old Salt Lake City man died early Friday, after being hit by a semitrailer truck while riding his bicycle.

Norman Bryner, 47, was riding across [...]

Light the first light of evening, as in a room In which we rest and, for small reason, think The world imagined is the ultimate good.

This is, therefore, the intensest rendezvous. It is in that thought that we collect ourselves, Out of all the indifferences, into one thing:

This afternoon’s Heiden Davidson Orthopedic Criterium followed a one-mile loop, climbing Park City’s historic Main Street before plummeting down Swede Alley at speeds exceeding 40 miles per hour.

Thousands of screaming spectators lined the course as the race began. With less than one lap underway, Alex Dowsett of Trek-LIVESTRONG started to attack off of the [...]

A few photos from Thursday’s second stage of the Tour of Utah, from Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, finishing on the summit of Mt. Nebo above Payson, Santaquin and Nephi, Utah (depending on which approach is taken). The riders came up the southern slope from Nephi, climing 4500 vertical feet over the last 15 miles.

No. 67

The cold in these mountains is ferocious, has been every year since the beginning.

Crowded peaks locked in perennial snows, recluse-dark forests breathing out mists,

grasses never sprout before the solstice and leaves start falling in early August.

This confusion includes a lost guest now, searching, searching—no sky to be seen.

Tour of Utah officiating … and idiocy thereof

Every bicycle race has its characters, either in the field, or more often on the side of the road running alongside the peloton (especially on a mountain climb) cheering the riders.

In Utah, we’re no different. Our character is Cris “Sly” Fox, also known in some circles as Slyfox Moonwillow, who has established himself as [...]
