Phinney drops out of race lead, team-mate Frank takes over.

Tony Martin's physical condition is improving. Levi Leipheimer is still
suffering after fracturing his left leg's fibula.

Two days ago it was announced that the ‘A’ sample of Denis Galimzyanov
of Team Katusha, taken on the 22nd March, had contained the performance
enhancing drug EPO.Rather than the usual blind denials and wacky
excuses that we have become accustomed to as cycling fans, Galimzyanov
made the decision yesterday to confess and apologize.

Hosking: "For the last 50 kilometres of [Monday's] bike race I kind of
felt like that spoilt kid that gets everything done for them – but with
one major difference, I actually felt bad. At one point when I was
sitting behind Ellen and Clara as they charged forward chasing after
the breakaway group I said to myself, 'Oh god, I better win with all
the work they’re doing'”.
CyclingNews:
Rabobank will return once more to the Amgen Tour of California, this
time with climber Robert Gesink at the helm. The Dutch climber skipped
the past two editions, but in each of his three prior participations,
Gesink won the best young rider's jersey (2007, 2008 and 2009) and won
stage 3 in San Jose in 2008.

Ardennes’ eternal second finally gets his win with a devastating attack
on the Mur de Huy.

Twelfth in Brabantse Pijl, sixth in Amstel Gold, third at Flèche
Wallonne: Philippe Gilbert is at least moving in the right direction.
RedKitePrayer:
The superlatives fly about the Tour of the Battenkill: America’s
biggest one-day road race, the toughest road race in the country, the
greatest number of flat tires at a single cycling event. Since it began
eight years ago, Tour of the Battenkill (originally called
Battenkill-Roubaix) in upstate New York has skyrocketed both in
attendance and attention.

BikeRadar:
The bike is a standard BMC impec carbon frame fitted with Shimano
Dura-Ace Di2 electronic shifting and unbranded carbon wheels. The
Lamborghini connection is brought in via the logo on the headtube,
handmade suede saddle and handlebars, and airbrushed Lamborghini Argos
Orange seat tube detail - the same colour as the Aventador LP 700-4.
BikeRadar
verdict: 4.5 out of 5 stars. "Functionally equivalent to Dura-Ace –
just heavier and much, much cheaper."

CompetitiveCyclist:
This is Evgeni Berzin, circa 1996. Above is a photo of Berzin, circa
2011. While I was critical of Herbie Sykes' prolix writing style last
week, I must praise him this time. His essay in Rouleur 28 about
Berzin's current station in life is the saddest cycling tale you'll
read this spring. The 1990's racing legend has become a bitter and
bereft Fiat salesman.
BicycleRetailer:
Specialized is working with the Consumer Product Safety Commission to
recall about 600 Tektro brake levers used on some of the company's
aero/time trial bikes and sold in the aftermarket.

Believes UCI’s rule is unfair and unenforceable.
“This
is the style of racing I think suits me best. It’s incredibly
satisfying, and maybe a little bit unexpected, but I will take
it.” -

The off-season isn’t really much of an off season for any of our
serious women racers, as we found out in our last edition of Women’s
Wednesday. We heard from racers like Kaitlin Antonneau, Christine
Varadaros and Nicole Duke, and these speedy ladies have all already
started racing their other season. Today, we have elite racers
Genevieve Whitson and Frances Morrison weighing in.
