Melissa Hoskins (GreenEDGE-AIS) claimed her first professional road

in China.

Twenty riders were tested for corticoids at the 4 Jours de Dunkerque on
Monday in additional controls organised by the French Cycling
Federation in conjunction with the Movement for Professional Cycling
and France’s Ligue Nationale de Cyclisme.
Lisa
Brennauer: "I’ve been in China twice already so I knew, that
you never know exactly what to expect of a country so far away from
home, with such a different culture and lifestyle. My first impression
was: grey sky as always, but if you come to Chongming Island you have
to admit that even if the sun doesn’t often come through the dusty sky
lots of forests, rivers and little townhouses give a beautiful natural
contrast to the big city of Shanghai not far away."

Bringing together three trends in cycling – power meters, ovalized
chainrings and twin-ring mountain bike cranksets – Rotor and SRM will

“In
the midst of competition, Hinault attempted to snatch victory like a
furious, clawing rodent… he acted not only for himself but for a nation
horrified that its great race might be hijacked by an American outlaw.”
Rolling Stone, 1986.
CyclingNews:
Taylor Phinney (BMC) made the most of his Giro d’Italia rest day by
recuperating after his stage 3 crash. The American maglia rosa hit the
tarmac inside the finale and was swiftly taken to the hospital after
the podium celebrations. Scans revealed no broken bones, but treatment
required several stitches to his badly swollen ankle.

"Ramūnas Navardauskas is not yet a familiar name in the sport but I
suspect he’ll become a lot more recognisable now he’s taken the lead in
the Giro. He’s 24 years old and rides for Garmin-Barracuda and if you
haven’t spotted his name in the results so far, that’s because he’s
been an invaluable helper for others on his team."
CyclingNews:
Taylor Phinney looked disappointed after losing the Giro d'Italia
leader's jersey to Garmin-Barracuda's Ramunas Navardauskas in
circumstances in which he normally would have performed, but he wasn't
able to ride at his normal level during the stage 4 team time trial.

It's a day for the spinters… Simon MacMichael sets the scene and
Geraint Thomas gives his tips.
InnerRing:
Today sees a 33.2km team time trial in and around Verona. The city was
used for the finish of the 2010 Giro d’Italia and now it hosts the
restart of the race in Italy. But it could finish off the hopes of a
few candidates for the overall as the distance is significant. Weak
teams can pay a heavy price and the slight mountain climbers will
struggle to hold the wheels.
CycleSport:
On stage three of the Giro d’Italia at Horsens, a piece of
spectacularly bad riding by Roberto Ferrari saw six riders hit the deck
including the reigning world champion and the maglia rosa. There can’t
have been too many times in history where two such prestigious jerseys
have simultaneously hit the deck, so hard, so fast and for so little
reason.
CyclingNews:
RadioShack-Nissan announced today its line-up for the Amgen Tour of
California and as expected it's a team built around defending champion
Chris Horner.

– Fano: Thursday’s Stage 5 should be noted for a couple of good reasons
– 1. The flat finish could give Mark Cavendish some sweet revenge after
being taken out in stage 3’s finale, and - 2. Fano is the home town of
our own Ale Federico, who’s ready to welcome PEZ-fans with open arms…

The last few months have been very hard for Bjarne Riis, first losing
his top star Alberto Contador to a doping suspension and then facing
the potential loss of Team Saxo Bank's WorldTour status. He has been
let down by the UCI, he said.

“Come on, really, day by day? I’d say something lame like that? No, I
was being ironic, trying to be funny,” said Phinney. “I made the joke
and then said I was taking the race day by other day. I said it in
Italian and English."
Enrico
Battaglin: "Ciao a tutti. I’m back in Italy but I can’t forget this
trip
to Denmark for my first start at the Giro d’Italia. When I was on the
start ramp for the opening time trial in Herning, I thought: “well…
I’ve seen this race on TV for many years, now here I am!” But once in
action, it’s just another bike race, except that this one is so much
more important than the others."
PodiumCafe:
Getting a book-length account of a single season for a single rider is
rare. Most of the time the true gems here aren't from the races
themselves but the little things in between that add up to a more
complete picture of a modern Belgian hero.

The Beaten Path: There are some components where you cannot save weight
without undue compromises, and rims are a very good example. A
well-designed clincher rim weighs about 450-500 g (650B) and 480-530 g
(700C). To reduce this weight further, you only can remove material in
four ways.

As a friend said to me the other day, you know you’re dominating your
market when other people start making accessories for your product. And
a quick glance around my weekend start line indicates that Garmin is
becoming the computer of choice for racers.
