Defending Tour of Basque Country champion Andreas Klöden must bury his
hopes of winning again this year. The RadioShack-Nissan rider lost over
five minutes on the first stage not being at the top of his form
following illnesses that prevented him from racing. The good news for
the team however was Oliver Zaugg's escape attempt near the end of the
race, and veteran Jens Voigt said he was pleased with the work he did
on his suntan during the stage.

Classics purists weren’t happy when the promoters moved the finish to
Oudenaarde, cut out the iconic Mur de Grammont (the “Muur”), and
included instead three loops over the cobbled climbs of the Old
Kwaremont and Paterberg. So for the first time in its 100-year history,
the Ronde didn’t have a true point-to-point course. It was
point-to-spiral.
PEZ:
Sunday marked the apex of our time here in Oudenaarde. We've been here
since the day before the Omloop, and we've had the unbelievable chance,
perhaps a once in a lifetime chance for us, to be a part of the entire
Spring Classics campaign in Flanders.

A major milestone in India’s evolution as a professional cycling region
was achieved on Saturday, 31 March in Bangalore, with the launch of the
country’s first fully-sponsored professional cycling team; Specialized
KYNKYNY. As Cycling iQ discovered, it’s a culmination of passion,
vision, ambition, money and old-fashioned gut feel.

Forget Armstrong vs. Contador in 2009. Forget Boonen vs. Cancellara in
the spring classics — at least after last weekend, anyway, where the
latter broke his collarbone at the Tour of Flanders. No, the ultimate
expression of mano-a-mano cycling pugilism is set to take place this
week at the 2012 UCI Track World Championships, from April 4-8.

Mild weather prompted teams and riders to stick to rather conventional
gear once again for this year's Tour of Flanders, with just a few
concessions made for the tricky cobbled climbs.
“I
am happy to be alive — absolutely. At first I was in shock. Then I was
thinking, ‘now I am going to be hurt for the race.’ Then I thought,
‘maybe I cannot race at all.’ Then I thought, ‘I could be dead right
now.’ I can feel for all those people who have been involved in
accidents.”

the direction that you’re turning will keep your foot and wheel from
