Team RadioShack called before UCI Disciplinary Commission

The International Cycling Union (UCI) wishes to announce that disciplinary proceedings will be opened against Team RadioShack, for breaching the regulations governing riders’ clothing.

The UCI regrets that an initiative for a cause as worthy as the fight against cancer was not coordinated beforehand with the Commissaires and organisers of the event. This could have [...]

Jens Voigt: hardest of the hard men

Saxo Bank’s Jens Voigt shrugged off the pain of yet another crash at the Tour de France.

On stage 16 Tuesday, Voigt was hurtling down the descent of the Col de Peyresourde, the first of four mountain passes, when he suffered a puncture and crashed at top speed.

The German managed to avoid a repeat [...]

Contador’s lack of class

Just got back from watching Stage 15 from Pamiers to Bagnères du Luchon up at the Warehouse, and like many others, I must assert that Alberto Contador is a complete and total douchebag.

For those who missed the stage, Team Saxo Bank’s Andy Schleck, the then-current leader of the this year’s Tour attacked on the [...]

LeMond v. Armstrong (more punches traded)

Greg LeMond believes a federal probe into fellow Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong should not be taken lightly, and could even bring about the downfall of the world’s most famous cyclist.

“Up until now, he has achieved great things, if you consider he did it fairly, which I don’t believe,” LeMond said in an [...]

Fignon commented on the prologue [...]

Wah wah wah! Team RadioShack crying about Vuelta exclusion

Team RadioShack manager Johan Bruyneel has called for a shake-up in the running of professional cycling following his team’s exclusion from the Vuelta a España.

Bruyneel was angered that his team, co-owned by Lance Armstrong, did not receive one of the six wildcard places on offer from organisers Unipublic for the 22-team Spanish tour, despite [...]

Cav’s crash

Mark Cavendish has been catching a lot of heat for causing the crash in Tuesday’s stage at the Tour of Switzerland, but when you watch the video of the crash, it’s really not that clear.

I see Cavendish throwing his bike left to right as he is accelerating, but he is still holding his [...]

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 [...]

Guess I'm just another sucker

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 [...]
