Without a season victory, Team RadioShack-Nissan-Trek looked to score
our first win at Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen (Three Days of West
Flanders), where, in 2011, Jesse Sergent led the team in a full sweep
of the podium.

The Optrix HD allows my safety blanket to double as an HD POV camera.
By placing my device in the sturdy, well designed case, not only is it

How to shed those last, stubborn five pounds—without hindering

Bicycling:
After a difficult ride, I usually reach for a nice cold one: a recovery
drink, that is. But once the protein and electrolyte blast has helped
me stand upright again, I move on to more interesting beverages. A
post-ride beer is certainly a good way to go, but wine’s refreshment
value—the French even have a term for it: vin de soif, or
thirst-quenching wines—too often goes underappreciated.

Edvald Boassan Hagen had the fastest legs in Tirreno-Adriatico, taking
the win after a long sprint to bring in Team Sky's second consecutive
sprint victory in two days.
CyclingNews:
Organisers of Tirreno-Adriatico announced this afternoon that route of
stage 5 will be altered due to "hazardous weather conditions". The
stage from Amelia to Chieti will skip the Passo Lanciano, and the
planned king of the mountain points will instead take place at the
climb of Valico della Forchetta at kilometer 212.
IrishPeloton:
Since the last Italian victory at the Tour of Lombardy, by Damiano
Cunego in 2008, the race has been won twice by Phillipe Gilbert of
Belgium and most recently by Zaugg of Switzerland. Three barren years
without an Italian victory in their own race is compounded by the fact
that the last three winners of their other monument, Milan-San Remo,
have been an Aussie, a Spaniard and a Brit.
CyclingIQ:
From 10-16 March, the parcours tracks the west coast of Taiwan; from
Taipei in the north, to Kaohsiung in the south. Amongst the 17
participating professional teams will be ProTeam squad Saxo Bank, and
last week’s winning Tour de Langkawi team, Androni Giocattoli, from
Italy.
Wilcockson@peloton: Should
there be equal prize money for women? Should every UCI ProTeam be
obliged to sponsor a women’s squad too? Should all UCI WorldTour events
add a women’s race to their roster, as the Tour of Flanders and Flèche
Wallonne have done? And should women pros be guaranteed a minimum wage?
VeloNews:
Breakout Colombian Nairo Quintana (Movistar) had enough in the tank
last weekend, stopping the clock in 27th place in the final-stage
individual time trial, to fend off Jonathan Tiernan-Locke (Endura) and
win the Vuelta a Murcia by six seconds. In the process, the 22-year-old
showed he may be the strongest of a young generation of Colombian
stars.

An
etiquette question this week: Is it ok to draft other cyclists
without asking permission? Is it incumbent on the passing rider to
declare whether or not it’s ok to draft? If you’re on a popular route
do you relinquish your right to ride alone? And at what point is it too
late to talk it over?

Waddington's writing is a curious mix of the earthy and the lyrical
which sucks you along and through his surreal story. And after reading

Following the conclusions of the Ullrich and Contador appeals heard
before the CAS, another case is pending which will have significant
implications in cycling’s anti-doping efforts – that of Alex Rasmussen.
While this case has garnered far less media coverage than the
aforementioned two, Rasmussen’s is the case which will – in my opinion
– ultimately decide the true integrity of cycling.

“I’m going to go back (to the Tour de France) for Bicycling Magazine,”
said Frankie. “It will be James (Startt) and I again. I had a lot of
fun doing it because it was a lot more relaxed and I had a lot more
freedom to talk and discuss about whatever topics we wanted.”
CyclingNews:
The Tour de Pologne is to include more climbing, and be generally
harder in 2012 with race organiser Czeslaw Lang revealing several key
details of this year's course to whet the appetite of fans and riders
before the full route is announced early next month. Lang says the
course will keep much of its 'familiar balance', but responding to
claims from riders of the race being too easy, has been toughened
things up this year.
“I
was ill all day and kept vomiting,” said Cavendish. “With 50 kilometers
left I still didn’t feel marvelous, but just kept going and was kept
out of trouble all the time [by the team].”
“For
drugs such as HGH and EPO, the window for using them is in the
preparation phase, not actually during the Games. The testing during
the Games is a fantastic deterrent but it's a pretty stupid athlete who
would be using drugs during the Games.” -
David Millar

When
you sign a pro contract virtually before you’ve turned a pedal as a
stagiare, you know that your results are already talking for you.
Twenty-year-old Swedish talent Tobias Ludvigsson had already enjoyed a
stellar season before getting the call to join what was then
Skil-Shimano.

Generally speaking, ergonomics of modern-day brake and shift levers are
pretty good, offering reliable and consistent fingertip control of all
the major functions. But if you step back and think about it a bit, it
oftentimes doesn't make sense to leave those surfaces with a smooth,
glossy – and nearly grip-free – finish.

MSRP will be $210 without optics, $299 with. Non-team color options
