July 22, 2014  Another
day, another mountain range and still no moments of undue distress for Vincenzo Nibali at
this Tour de France. After going on the offensive in the Vosges and the
Alps, the Sicilian was happy to maintain a controlling brief on the
race's first stage in the Pyrenees, but still came away with an ever
tighter grip on the maillot jaune. (cyclingnews.com)

around the BMC dinner table each night. (velonews.com)

July 22, 2014  "This
is the most exciting Tour de France I’ve seen in decades. It even
eclipses 1999 and 1996. By that I mean watching a race where the
outcome doesn’t seem assured, where each passing day could bring yet
another surprise, a Tour where even the flat stages matter and no one
team has the power to dictate the action." (redkiteprayer.com)
July 22, 2014  With
each falling star from the Tour de France, the Vuelta a Espana has the

definitely a full-time job. (bicycling.com)

July 22, 2014  The
Trek duo of Haimar
Zubeldia and Frank
Schleck saw their rise in the overall rankings of the Tour

July 22, 2014  It
has been 16 years since women racers have shared in the prestige that
the name Tour de France brings to cycling - in 1998 the stage race
called Tour de France Feminin was stripped of its title by the ASO -

France lines up the best female racers in the world to race a criterium
on the Champs-Élysées, albeit many hours before the arrival of the
professional men. (cyclingnews.com)
July 22, 2014  Team
Sky, with only five days remaining in the 2014 Tour de France, risks
having one of its worst grand tours since it hit the road in 2010. This
comes on the heels of a rather quiet Giro d’Italia in May. The team,
however, is maintaining a cool exterior as the Tour races toward Paris.

July 22, 2014  Daniel Mangeas is
the voice of the Tour de France. He will retire soon, finishing a run
of 41 consecutive Tours. He’s another fixture of French cycling with
his distinctive tone, a verbal torrent of statistics and encouragement.
In a perfect twist he’ll end his career in the same place where it
began, although this time by plan rather than
accident. (inrng.com)
July 22, 2014  While
everybody seems to admit that Vincenzo
Nibali is in a class of his own on this Tour de France,
there are at least five riders competing for the two other spots on the
podium and all believe they are well placed to earn them.

July 22, 2014  BikeRadar

stars. "Lives up to its name in ride quality and handling, but the weak
bang-per-buck of its component choices keep it from the podium it
otherwise deserves." (bikeradar.com)

X-Lite Ti has material cut out around the steerer tube to save some
weight. Loaded Precision takes a little more out than 3T, which adds to

handlebar in place. (bikeworldnews.com)

longest stage of the 2014 Tour de France, a 237-kilometer schlepp from
Carcassonne to Bagneres de Luchon, came down to a 300-metre stretch of
road on the descent of the Port de Bales. This slaloming piece of
smooth tarmac, just four and a half kilometers from the finish line,
was about the same length as, maybe just a bit longer than, many sprint
finishes. (cyclingweekly.co.uk)

teams were visited. (cyclingnews.com)
July 22, 2014  Jurgen Van Den Broeck
has not had the Tour de France he was hoping for and now blood tests
taken on the rest day give a possible explanation. An increased amount
of antibodies for mycoplasma indicates that his body has been fighting
an illness and the Belgian will continue to undergo an antibiotic
treatment. (cyclingquotes.com)
July 22, 2014  Jean-Christophe Peraud
admitted he had not even ridden the three tough Pyrenean stages at the
Tour de France in advance because he didn’t expect to be competing for
a podium spot. The 37-year-old French rider has unexpectedly found
himself in sixth place overall and only 1:18 away from a podium
position with less than a week to go. (velonews.com)
July 22, 2014  While
the biggest Omega Pharma-Quick Step news story on the second rest day
at the Tour de France revolved around revealing a new sponsor name for

Martin had put pen to paper and re-signed for a further
two years. (cyclingnews.com)

ceiling." (bikeradar.com)
