 With
the Tour’s Grand Depart only days away, we preview the route and take a
look back at the last time the Tour began in the UK, 2007 – a time when
Cavendish
had yet to stand a top a Tour podium, Bradley Wiggins was
considered a pretender to the throne of Tour champion and Peter Sagan
was 17year old junior. McEwen,
Cancellara
and Boonen
were at the height of their powers and Contador was
battling Rasmussen,
Vinokourov
and Evans
for the yellow jersey. (pelotonmagazine.com)
July 1, 2014  On
the back of his best spring season for years, Alberto Contador
returns to the Tour de France with the aim of conquering the race that
he hasn't won since 2009. However, he admits that Chris Froome is the
big favorite and even claims that the defending champion was stronger
in this year's Criterium du Dauphiné than in last year's Tour de
France. (cyclingquotes.com)
July 1, 2014  At
101 years old, the Tour de France is still an event of immense beauty
and suffering. This year’s race promises to be one of the most exciting
in recent memory. (rideons.wordpress.com)
July 1, 2014  In
anticipation of a monstrous battle between defending champion Chris Froome and
two-time winner Alberto
Contador at the 2014 Tour de France, which starts in Leeds
on Saturday, we look at five classic yellow jersey duels from the past.

overall win with an impressive stage victory. (cyclingnews.com)

July 1, 2014  The
title of the lightest production road bike in the world is not one to
be taken lightly. As a complete bike the flagship Émonda SLR 10 comes

staggering $15,749.99. (bikerumor.com)

July 1, 2014 June 30, 2014 June 30, 2014 |  It
may come as a surprise that Andy
Schleck still has any love for the sport whatsoever. After
all, he’s seen his form and results nose-dive in recent years, his
brother fight a positive test and the whole Leopard team that was built
around him turn from a dream into a nightmare. (cyclingnews.com)
July 1, 2014  It’s
said the mark of a champion is to win the Tour de France at your first
go. Eddy Merckx,
Jacques Anquetil
and Bernard Hinault
are among those who came, saw and conquered from the start. But that’s
the exception and the majority of Tour winners are like fine wines that
take time to age and mature. You can be born with talent but it has to
be worked on, weaknesses addressed and tactics
learned. (inrng.com)
July 1, 2014  The
rider who has dominated stage racing for the last two years is set to

(cyclingquotes.com)
July 1, 2014  Marcel Kittel and John Degenkolb have
criticized the Giant-Shimano management for their lack of influence on

that they would have preferred to have had their say.

the emergence of Nairo
Quintana as a potential Tour de France winner, Alejandro Valverde

Paris. (cyclingquotes.com)

Saturday, and the Lotto-Belisol pro is, he says, be more than ready for
the experience that will reinforce his reputation as a Grand Tour
'Iron-man'. (cyclingnews.com)
July 1, 2014  It
appears that Campagnolo
did not invent the quick release at all. The story of the race in the
snow is a myth. There was a snowy Coppa della Vittoria, but in a
different year (1925), and Campagnolo isn’t mentioned in the race
reports as a favorite in any of the Coppas della Vittoria of the 1920s.

July 1, 2014  One
of the tools used to get riders in shape is high altitude training and

July 1, 2014  The
Tour de France build-up is well underway and American rider Matthew Busche of

July 1, 2014  David Millar was a
surprise omission from the Garmin-Sharp squad for the Tour de France as
the Brit was widely tipped to be lining up for a farewell Tour in his
final season as a professional. Saddened by the news, he claims to have
already been selected and that only his honesty made his team
management change its mind. (cyclingquotes.com)
July 1, 2014  For
first-time Tour de France competitors like Ben King, who will
line up with Garmin-Sharp for the start in Leeds on Saturday, the time
leading up to the race can be a mix of excitement and terror. But the
25-year-old from Virginia told Cyclingnews he's had a single-minded
focus on the race since November, and he's confident in his preparation
for stepping onto cycling's biggest stage. (cyclingnews.com)
July 1, 2014  In
1993 Marie Purvis
became the first British rider to win a stage of the Tour de France
Féminin in its modern format. She won another stage in 1995, and her
palmarès include five national titles. That becomes more impressive
when you consider Marie
Morgan, as she’s now known, only began racing aged 26.

July 1, 2014  Heat
and UV light are very bad for latex, so where the tubes were stored
could be a big factor. Latex tubes deteriorate only if outside and
exposed to light, sun, UV and extreme temperatures. There are tubulars
that are 20 years old and still run great, so the tube has a long life
when protected. (velonews.com)
July 1, 2014  The
Boardman Performance Series Road Team Carbon Fi, to give it its full
name, features female-specific frame geometry and a well-selected
component package. (cyclingweekly.co.uk)

Weltman: "I
am looking for PARTICIPANTS to be in a RESEARCH STUDY that I am
