Belgian rider talks about missing his childhood friend ahead of the
first anniversary of his death.
BikeRadar:
Component giants SRAM are generally characterized as an American
company based in Chicago, Illinois and rightfully so – that's their
main base of operations, after all. However, they've diversified into a
decidedly global entity. These days, nearly all of their drivetrain
development is done in a lesser known – but arguably more significant –
facility in the German industrial city of Schweinfurt, about two hours
outside of Frankfurt.
BikeRadar
verdict: 3.5 out of 5 stars. "Super-light, brilliant-handling race rig
hampered by disappointing suspension."

The Giro, Liquigas, space age buses, gorgeous PR girls, Ivan Basso,
Vincenzo Nibali, bikes into five figure values . . . But there’s
another side to Italian Cycling – Continental teams, getting by, low
budgets, no stars, no PR and riders making do as they fight to get to
Liquigas Nirvana. Take the Italo/Croatian Meridiana Kamen team, and 28
year-old Englishman David McLean, for example.

Geraint Thomas and Taylor Phinney head the list of favorites for
today's Giro d'Italia opener, an 8.7-kilometre time trial through

Stage 1 is better depicted by the aerial map of the course, especially

Rabobank tolerated the use of doping up until at least 2007, according
to a Dutch newspaper. The riders could select their own products, but
the team medical staff made sure that they did not hurt their health,
the Volkskrant newspaper claimed. At least three former riders,
including Michael Boogerd, were also said to have been involved in the
HumanPlasma blood doping ring, as well.

Really, the only way they could improve it would be to make it somewhat
closer to an airport, or at least an interstate, and heck, maybe throw
in a little oxygen or at least moisture in the air? Is that so much to
ask?

While the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) has banned Riccardo Ricco
