July 4, 2014 All
hail the hegemony! Annemiek van Vleuten wins the Giro Rosa prologue, in
a Rabo-Liv domination...
 Newly-crowned
Dutch time trial champion Annemiek van Vleuten continued her good form
with a victory in the Giro Rosa prologue on Friday. (sbs.com.au)
July 4, 2014 
It’s time for the biggest women’s stage race of the year, the Giro
Rosa, running from 4th to 13th July, the only women’s race that the UCI
allow to run for ten days – and this year it’s extra special, as it’s
the 25th iteration of the women’s Giro.

Development Cycling’s Tanner
Putt won his second U23 national championship title in the

July 3, 2014  It
is hard to imagine, but just under three months ago, Chris Horner was
lying in an Italian hospital bed with a myriad of injuries that
included a punctured lung and four broken ribs. However, the
Lampre-Merida rider was in fine form just two days before he is set to
ride the Tour de France. (cyclingnews.com)
July 4, 2014  The
25-year-old was a major sensation two years ago when he beat team-mate
and defending champion Cadel
Evans to finish fifth overall, as the Australian limped
home in seventh behind British winner Bradley Wiggins.

July 4, 2014  Ted King is back at
the Tour de France, intent on forgetting his bitter exit from last
year’s edition and focused on helping teammate Peter Sagan win his
third straight green jersey. (velonews.com)
July 4, 2014  The
101st Tour de France is just one day away and soon the first white
rose-adorned yellow jersey of this year’s race will be presented at the
conclusion of the first stage in Harrogate. (roadcyclinguk.com)
July 4, 2014  It’s
a very visible jersey but the competition itself seems to be
struggling, it’s either something decided by luck and speciality or an
accidental win collected by someone high on the GC. (inrng.com)
July 4, 2014  No
one’s quite sure what happened to Alberto
Contador in 2013. Maybe it was some early-season
illnesses that had him on his back foot all year. Maybe it was a lack
of motivation. Perhaps he just assumed he’d be able to find a way to
win, just as he always has over the past decade. (velonews.com)
July 4, 2014  There
is just one stage in between the Alps and the Pyrenees this year, but
it could be an important phase of the race in its own right because
riders ignore these transitional days at their own peril.

July 4, 2014 July 3, 2014 |  Christophe Bassons
has spoken out about Chris
Froome’s Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE), which allowed
him to take Prednisone to help with a chest infection prior to the Tour
of Romandie. In a story posted in The Telegraph, he compared the
British rider’s and Team Sky’s mentality to that of Lance Armstrong and
US Postal Service. (cyclingnews.com)
 A
year ago, the hangover from the Lance
Armstrong doping scandal cast a heavy shadow over the
American peloton, but 12 months onward, the conversation is not about
the past, but about the future. And the here and now. (velonews.com)
July 4, 2014  “Froome is the one to
beat because he has been the best rider for the last two years. This
year, though, I’m in better shape so far,” Contador said. “I
don’t know if it’s enough to beat him, but I’ll try it. There are
others to consider, too.” (velonews.com)
July 4, 2014  Trek
Factory Racing directeur sportif Kim

July 4, 2014  Given
that the other cultural event making the headlines in the UK at the
moment is the Monty
Python reunion in London, Yorkshire’s Tour de France team
presentation on Thursday evening at the First Direct Arena in Leeds
could fittingly have been entitled, And Now for Something Completely
Different… (cyclingnews.com)
July 4, 2014  When
the entourage of the Tour de France gathered Thursday in Leeds,
England, for the magnificent team presentation of the Tour’s 101st
edition, very few of the race followers noted the true significance of
this Grand Départ in Yorkshire. (pelotonmagazine.com)
July 4, 2014  "The
bad ventriloquism and the mishandled guest appearances - make The Loyal Lieutenant
a bad read even before we get to the problem of the way doping is
handled. And the problem with the way the doping is handled will only
add to the frustration many will feel with The Loyal Lieutenant."

July 4, 2014  "I
know that the Team Tinkoff-Saxo team press conference has finished – a
human swarm of backwards-jogging cameramen scuttles drunkenly across
the carpark. One mass, sixty-legged, clusters around king bee Contador as he makes
for safety in the team car." (pezcyclingnews.com)
July 4, 2014  You
won’t miss the Tinkoff-Saxo team in the peloton at the Tour de France.

July 4, 2014  Trek

July 4, 2014  It
may be a while until we see the insanely light Émonda SLR 10 in the
flesh, but head to your local Trek dealer and there are probably a
number of more affordable models already on the floor. (bikerumor.com)
July 4, 2014  Nicolas Roche has
been selected as the only rider on the team to use the new limited
edition Specialized Tarmac S-Works McLaren bike on the race. The bike
is claimed to be 10 per cent lighter than their new Tarmac version and

Yip, Hong Kong-born and now Colorado-based, is in his

July 4, 2014 | July 4, 2014  While
Armstrong
was a “bully, a nasty piece of work and overly aggressive in about
everything did”, she had once worked with him and had a connection with
him.
She could also not ignore the cancer fundraising and awareness raising
work he had done. (stickybottle.com)
July 4, 2014  The
Orica GreenEdge team has said that Michael
Matthew’s injury-provoked withdrawal from the squad for
this year’s Tour makes its goals harder to achieve, but that it will
nevertheless strive for a very successful race. (cyclingtips.com.au)
July 4, 2014  "When
I launched Red Kite Prayer the plan, honestly, was to create an outlet
for work that magazines weren’t interested in, and another source of
income that I might enjoy a bit more control over. Five years later,
RKP is thriving, but I can’t really say that it, or I, stuck with the
plan." (redkiteprayer.com)
July 4, 2014  Unlike
the seeming coronation of Bradley
Wiggins and Chris
Froome in the past two editions of the Tour de France,
this year's race is shaping up to be a lively one. Chris Froome no
longer seems head and shoulders above his rivals and Alberto Contador is
back to his best. Behind them a host of young and veteran riders alike
should be fighting tooth and nail for the top five. So who looks best?

July 4, 2014  American
Tour de France hope Andrew
Talansky says it'll be hard to place in front of Froome, Contador and Nibali, but that
won't stop him trying. (cyclingweekly.co.uk)
July 4, 2014  Seven
long years ago, the Tour rolled into London to huge acclaim. The ASO
always had it in mind to return to the UK, but when? Not until one of
the country’s most cycling-mad regions emerged as a possible Grand
Depart venue, and now the biggest show in the sport has made it’s
furtherest journey north. The Tour explodes onto the roads of
Yorkshire!

championships." (anikatodd.com)
