 Giant
comes into this race with a twin sprint tactic as Marcel Kittel’s
teammate and compatriot John
Degenkolb, 25, is also handy in the speedy finishes. But
while Kittel
is the better flat out sprinter, Degenkolb
is more likely to still be there for the finish after a tough or hilly
stage. (pelotonmagazine.com)

his second shot in the Grand Boucle, and is fully committed to his role
in supporting Peter
Sagan's bid for a third points classification victory.

pair of Oakleys that no one had seen before. (velonews.com)
July 2, 2014  A
prodigious amateur talent, Frenchman Christophe Bassons
turned pro in 1996 and joined the mighty Festina team later that
season. Despite his coach's assessment that he had the same
physiological attributes as five-time Tour de France winner Bernard Hinault, Bassons never made
the breakthrough that was expected. In a peloton where drug-taking was
generally systematic, Bassons
refused to yield to persistent encouragement to dope. (cyclingnews.com)
July 2, 2014  Aerodynamics
is where all the real gains will be made with respect to equipment and

July 2, 2014 |  One
year ago Daryl Impey
was basking in the yellow jersey, now he’s announced a positive A and B
test for banned substance probenicid. It’s normally a treatment for
gout because, to keep it simple, it slows the kidneys from filtering
stuff from your blood out to the urine. So it’s handy as a “masking
agent.", However, the mask is obviously very detectable and either Impey’s prodigiously
stupid or there’s a genuine explanation somewhere. (inrng.com)

Specialized announced its new Tarmac, they cited McLaren’s key role in

improving stiffness and lowering weight. (velonews.com)

July 2, 2014 | July 2, 2014  Chris Horner was
supposed to contend for the Giro d’Italia and perhaps even defend his
Vuelta a España crown. But this pro cycling. It rarely goes how it’s

Giro in the Italian Alps, the 42-year-old was hit by a car and left in
Italian tunnel in early April. (velonews.com)

positive A and B sample for the substance Probenecid after the South
African Championships on February 6, 2014." (cyclingnews.com)
July 2, 2014  "One
thing Sky might want to consider obtaining for Chris Froome before
he begins his Tour de France title defense in Yorkshire is the latest
development in personal care, the Happiness Blanket. I was
thinking that once linked into the Sky bus mood lighting, Froome could have
the perfect environment based on his brainwave responses – blue for
calm, and red to prepare for some of the daily aggression he'll be
receiving." (cyclingnews.com)

July 2, 2014  Phil
Gaimon: "Host housing is a funny thing, because it depends
on the
standards of the riders, and in case you're not aware, bike riders can
have very low standards. There were years when I was stoked for floor
space, and a sleeping bag lived in the trunk of my car. You want a
pillow? What are you, Queen Elizabeth? I spent a couple months on a
friend's porch because his apartment didn't have any floor space when
his bed folded out from the wall. Sorry ladies, I'm taken."

July 2, 2014  Anna
Weltman: "I
am looking for PARTICIPANTS to be in a RESEARCH STUDY that I am
conducting, for my Master's thesis in SPORT PSYCHOLOGY. My thesis is on
cyclists who crash

recovered (whether it's months of recovery or same day). Participants
would be required to fill out an online
survey about their crash experience(s). Click here
to become involved!" (dougreport.com)
