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

Belgian Ink

Is a 43 year old man too old to be considering getting a tattoo (or in my case, another tattoo)?

About 13 years ago or so, I got my first ink … an abstract of a cyclist on my right leg, just above the ankle. It’s an abstract of a cyclist, leaning hard into a [...]

I’ve hit the trifecta!

Liège-Bastogne-Liège is being broadcast live on Cycling.TV, and again I’m able to watch it without a subscription … much poorer quality video than a couple weeks ago for Paris-Roubaix, but I’ll take what I can get.

And even grainy/pixelated coverage of Phillippe Gilbert attacking hard on La Rédoute is pretty amazing.

And now Paolo Bettini [...]

Live coverage, yet again

Eurosport’s early coverage was of the Portuguese GP leg of the MotoGP tour … so I went looking for other sources of either audio or video coverage, hoping not to have to pay for coverage of Paris Roubaix.

But, I couldn’t find anything … so l got out my credit card, and pointed my browser [...]
