dominant display in Saturday’s Strade Bianchi. The 2008 champion
finished 42 seconds clear of Maxim Iglinskiy (Astana) and Oscar Gatto
(Farnese Vini - Selle Italia). The BMC duo of Alessandro Ballan and
Greg Van Avermaet finished 4th and 5th.
“There are few more impressive
than Cancellara when he's on. He doesn't just win, he destroys."

Our
sport has its classic races. Some are more than 100 years old, for
example Liège-Bastogne-Liège was first run in 1892. Over time they’ve
developed legends and histories that go a long way to make the sport
what it is today. Sometimes a new race comes along and the organisers
struggle to make it work. They could do well to learn the lesson of the
wonderful Strade Bianche race which takes place today, combining local
history with a free internet video stream.

Video games are blamed as a component of the rising obesity levels of
children and teens in the US. In response some game developers have
created “exercise” games that take advantage of the motion control
feature offered by the Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Kinect for the Xbox 360,
and Sony’s Move for the PlayStation3. And one game developer believes
in the prospect of a cycling video game.

Alberto Contador can return to racing in August, but the question still
remains over which team he will join. The Danish media reported on

by all parties.

This Cherubim was one of the more amazing bikes I’ve seen so far. NAHBS
is ON. I tell ya, these days, I get more excited for NAHBS than I do
Interbike. The trouble is, it’s gotten so big that it really is hard to
make it around to everyone.

The weariness of spirit and body was evident in Ben Jacques-Maynes‘
lean face when we sat down to chat on a sunny and warm morning last
week. The 33-year BISSELL Pro Cycling rider has been through the worst
year of his life, with serious complications including a bone infection
and setbacks hitting one after another following his broken collarbone
at the 2011 Amgen Tour of California.

It was once easy to discern who was the world’s best pro racer. For
seven straight years, 1969 to 1975, Eddy Merckx won the Super Prestige
Pernod competition (the equivalent of today’s UCI WorldTour), which
awarded points in all of the major races: one-day classics, weeklong
stage races and three-week grand tours. There was no denying that The
Cannibal was No. 1.

How do you know a bike race is coming? Roadside fans often wait for the
audible rumble of TV helicopters to indicate the race is approaching.
But in Belgium it’s different. Instead you know the race is coming
thanks to the call of Rodania.
