Bicycling: On Friday about noon Horner told Bicycling in an email that, after talking to his team boss, Johan Bruyneel, there was a chance that he still might ride the Tour. That comes after team leader Andy Schleck announced on Tuesday that he would not be able to race because of broken bones suffered in last week’s Critérium du Dauphiné.

SBS: Lance Armstrong's lawyers have already started to challenge the new doping charges against him even as sponsors vow to stand behind the seven-time Tour de France cycling champion.

VeloNation: Riders’ agent said to be making enquiries elsewhere.

CyclingTips: "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? The same analogy can be used with bike racing."

VeloNews: By its own admission, Mavic is fashionably late to the aero wheel party. They showed up a decade ago before the chips and dip had even been set out, fled in embarrassment, and have now returned to join a party that’s in full swing.

VeloNation: Proposed new anti-doping system to be further discussed in September.

BikeRadar verdict: 4 out of 5 stars. "Decently priced and effective but won't make much difference on shorter rides."

BikeRadar verdict: 5 out of 5 stars. "Corrected vision for bespectacled cyclists, at last."

PodiumCafe: There were no riders who met the automatic qualifying standard. The committee selected sprinter Tyler Farrar, Chris Horner, U.S. national road race champion Timothy Duggan, Tejay van Garderen, and Taylor Phinney. Phinney will ride the time trial for the United States.

Peloton: It’s much too soon to predict the outcome of USADA’s actions, but they have already had a wide impact. The European press, led by French newspaper L’Équipe, has concluded that Armstrong, Bruyneel and their colleagues will be found guilty of running a doping conspiracy, using headlines such as “Caught by his Shadow” and “The Fall of the House of Bruyneel.”

InnerRing: There are still unexploded bombs from World War Two. Every now and then one is discovered buried deep in the ground, often during construction work. Residents are evacuated, a security cordon is put in place, a military bomb squad arrives to defuse the defunct device and within a day or two construction work resumes.

VeloNews: Andy Schleck will skip the Tour de France this year due to a pelvis fracture, but just over a week ago, at the start of the Critérium du Dauphiné he was considered a favorite.

"After restoring a classic Colnago Mexico, several readers asked us for help in starting their own old bike projects. Due to the popularity of vintage racing events like the Eroica and other new ones popping up, prices for old bikes are on the rise. Fear not. PEZ's Mr. CheapOh comes to the rescue with lots-o-tips for finding a reasonable ride."

BikeRumor: "We went ahead and crammed ENVE’s new 650B All Mountain wheelset into the frame with some of Pacenti’s smallest treads. The result? A very promising mod that’s got two of our riders completely stoked on the middle child wheel size!"

Shimano says their new Saint group is “pure gravity” and that it’s evolved from its focus on freeride strength to be more useful to racers as well. That means it’s lighter and more refined, but without original freeride-style options such as a double crankset.

BikeRadar verdict: 4.5 out of 5 stars. "Improves on a bike that was one of the best anyway. Fast and furious fun."

BrowneEye: "The Washington Post article, just three paragraphs in, states that USADA has collected blood samples, “fully consistent with blood manipulation including EPO use and/or blood transfusions” from 2009 and 2010. That’s very recent. I wonder if the people who want to “let it go” are in a state of denial, didn’t really read the article or read it and ignored a fact that ruined their version of their Armstrong reality?"
