I knew it was going to be a bad one when my heart rate [...] 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 [...] First and foremost.

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 [...] Amid speculation that Tour de France winner Alberto Contador is poised to join the Saxo Bank team for 2011, brothers Andy and Fränk Schleck have confirmed that they will be leaving to join a new squad based in their native Luxembourg.
