You know it’s huge when doping news hits the Wall Street Journal. Will post more when I get a chance to read more articles, digest the news and compose thoughts. But fuck … I was one of those people that thought there was a good chance that Floyd got screwed by the system, and was [...] You know what makes me super happy about this? 6 of the top 7 riders are native English speakers, with Alexandre Vinokourov as the only interloper … and the first Italian rider is Marco Pinotti, in 10th. Yeah, it’s just the first day of the Giro, and there are still 22 days to go, but [...] The Wall Street Journal has reported on many an IPO (initial public offering) over the decades, but I’m sure none of them have been quite like Bike Snob’s initial public offering … of his identity. Over his nearly three years of obsessing over, satirizing and deftly puncturing the sport of cycling, the anonymous blogger Bike [...] Well, the UCI has shown they are being run by idiots once again. Getting rid of the individual pursuit is like the IAAF getting ride of the 1500 metre race. Honestly, I’d rather see the UCI get rid of the team sprint, which is truly one of the most boring events I have ever seen. [...] This is what I wanted to see … some sort of coverage from the American press regarding the recent allegations about Lance Armstrong’s blood samples. As Rasmus Damsgaard indicates in his response, and even as Mørkebjerg indicated in his original “interpretation” the numbers are hardly conclusive of anything, are really nothing more than speculation, [...] According to DR, the leading Danish media conglomerate, Armstrong’s blood values at this year’s Tour de France are suspicious, and could be indicative of blood doping. Paraphrasing Google’s translation of the DR article: Evidence suggests that Lance Armstrong used blood doping during the Tour de France, says one of Denmark’s leading blood researchers, Jakob Mørkebjerg [...] Much has been written over the past couple of days about the relationship between Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador, as evidenced in this excellent summary from the BBC: BBC SPORT | Other sport… | Cycling | Armstrong hits back at Contador Lance Armstrong says his Astana team-mate Alberto Contador has “lots to learn” after the [...] Oh, is that what it is? Feillu wins stage 7, Nocentini grabs yellow and Contador asserts supremacy – VeloNews After a few flurries, Contador took a sharp dig, accelerating on the steeps like only he can. Saxo Bank’s Andy Schleck took up the chase with only six of men able to follow. Under the 1km [...] Why does it always seem that Levi Leipheimer never goes on the attack in the high mountains? He’s got what it takes physically, as he’s generally able to respond to any attacks, but it doesn’t seem like he ever initiates an attack … at least not in Europe. I wonder if its a confidence thing [...] As yet more proof that Twitter is where you should be for the latest news: Twitter / Lance Armstrong: Race update – @levi_leipheimer, @hornerakg, and myself are racing the Nevada City Classic next Sunday. A great American race!!! Twitter / Levi Leipheimer: Yes, we, @lancearmstrong, @hornerakg and myself will be racing the American classic Nevada [...] |
