2011 Tour of Utah Stage Two

Jack Bauer sprints to the Stage 2 win in Provo

This is pretty much the one and only shot that I got today that I’m even remotely happy with … but since all I did was drive down to Provo to shoot the finish, I can’t complain too much.

Today was a fast stage [...]

Tour des Chutes 2011

Every Tour de France has a number of crash-filled stages … today’s Stage 9 alone saw the exits of Team Astana’s Alexander Vinokourov (broken femur) … likely a career-ending injury since Vino planned to retire after this season, Garmin-Cervélo’s Dave Zabriskie (broken wrist), and OmegaPharma-Lotto’s Juergen Van den Broucke (broken shoulder) and Frederik Willems (broken [...]

More thoughts on Floyd's allegations

I’ve read a lot of articles today, and done a lot of thinking, and here is what I’ve decided.

I’m sure that there’s a lot of truth in Floyd Landis’s confession today, and I’m just as sure that there’s a lot of truth in his accusations as well … but I also think that the [...]

CVV down and out!

US rider Vande Velde falls and withdraws from Giro – [...]

Bike thieves suck

… but this sucks even more than the usual bike theft. Stolen from KSL:

Company offers reward for return of items stolen from cyclist’s home

The company who made the Marvel statues stolen from cyclist Dave Zabriskie’s home last week is now offering a reward for their return.

Sideshow Collectibles is offering a $10,000 reward [...]

2009 Tour de France Route revealed

Next year’s Tour de France is going to be an interesting one. Bypassing the Normandy and Brittany regions completely, the Tour will mostly be held in central, southern, and eastern France, departing from Monaco, and featuring sojourns into Spain, Andorra, Italy, and Switzerland.

The most interesting feature that I’ve been able to glean thus [...]

Carnage in Sicily

From Cyclingnews.com:

Team CSC suffered a double blow on the Giro d’Italia’s third stage, losing Bradley McGee and Stuart O’Grady to injury. The team’s Australian duo were involved in a crash on the 221 kilometre stage to Milazzo.

Both Olympic champion McGee and 2007 Paris-Roubaix winner O’Grady suffered a broken collarbone as a result of [...]

DZ out of the Giro!

Dave Zabriskie’s bad luck at the Grand Tours continues as he crashes out of the Giro d’Italia during stage 2.

Early reports indicate that the Team Slipstream-Chipotle rider, Alberto Contador (Astana), and a couple of other riders crashed on some railroad tracks. Apparently DZ took the brunt of the fall, as the other riders were [...]
