 Permit
me an unfair, inaccurate and sweeping generalization. The United
Kingdom is full of freaks. Okay, so I know the entire population of the
U.K. isn’t as eccentric (or funny) as John Cleese, but I
can’t think of any place that produces people so colossally at odd with
their talent as the population in those islands. (redkiteprayer.com)
July 28, 2014  Team
Sky’s Chris Froome
expressed sadness over the outcome of the Tour de France because he
believes there was no one to rival Astana’s overall winner Vincenzo Nibali
during the decisive mountain stages after he and Tinkoff-Saxo’s captain
Alberto Contador
were forced to abandon due to their injuries from crashing.

July 28, 2014  Juan Jose Lobato
finally broke his string of near-missed when he won today’s hilly third
stage of the Tour de Wallonie in impressive fashion. In a tough uphill
sprint, he powered clear of the peloton to easily hold off Gianni Meersman and Silvan Dillier,
passing several riders who had started their sprint too early. Meersman finished
second for the third day in a row which was enough to extends his
overall lead. (cyclingquotes.com)
July 28, 2014  Without
Froome,
Sky capitulated as Australian Richie
Porte proved to be a poor substitute leader, finishing the
race 23rd overall, more than an hour behind Nibali, and actually
behind two of his domestiques. (velonews.com)
July 28, 2014  What
happened to the French? How dare they suddenly turn up and start riding
and supplying bucket loads of excitement and intrigue? Putain! And
who’s this Nibali
character, riding his heart out on the cobbles then going on to put in
a such a sustained performance of elegant force that he truly shocked
many onlookers? (pezcyclingnews.com)
July 28, 2014  David Millar is
determined to use his Tour de France snub as motivation for the
Commonwealth Games. Millar

bronze medal in the road race from Delhi four years ago.

July 28, 2014  August
can feel like a lull in the
season but it’s actually the busiest month of racing on the calendar in
terms of race days plus there are the post-Tour criterium
“races.” (inrng.com)
July 28, 2014  Vincenzo Nibali rode
resplendent into Paris on Sunday, shining victorious in the yellow
jersey and seemingly immune to the danger that befell nearly everyone
around him. (velonews.com)
July 28, 2014  For
Matthew Busche,
the Tour de France was worth the wait. The Trek Factory Racing rider
rode his first Grand Tour in 2011, the Vuelta a España, and again rode
the Spanish three-week race in 2013 but since turning pro in 2009, he
had never managed to make it to France in July. (cyclingnews.com)

president of Kazakh Cycling, told AFP his country wants to host the
start of the race like England did this year. (velonews.com)
July 28, 2014  Tom Teesdale. It’s a
name unfamiliar to most cyclists. It’s a name that arguably did as much
for the industry as Gary
Fisher, Mike
Sinyard, or Tom
Ritchey. It’s also a name that deserves
correction for the first statement, and recognition for the latter,
because tragically, Tom
Teesdale is no longer with us. (redkiteprayer.com)
July 28, 2014  Look’s
past efforts at integration have yielded some sleek looking road bikes
while eliciting polarizing opinions. If you’ve lauded the design,
you’re in luck. If you fall into the “don’t like it” camp, look away
now ’cause boy oh boy does the new Look 795 Aerolight road bike push
things farther than ever. (bikerumor.com)

Bernard Hinault
and the late Laurent
Fignon. (pezcyclingnews.com)
July 28, 2014  As
any cyclist knows, no matter what the manufacturers tell us about
special brake tracks or revolutionary brake pad compounds, using rim
brakes to slow down rain slicked composite wheels is risky business.

July 28, 2014  While
the French may have begun wrestling domination of their home Tour from

bikes have become a staple for many metropolitan commuters. But just

their Countervail vibration damping material and tech to the wind
tunnel, the new Aquila not only lessens the wind’s effects on your
efforts, it also kills the road buzz to keep your muscles fresher over
the long haul. (bikerumor.com)

Oregon Manifest’s Bike Design Project concluded on Friday with each
team from participating cities — Chicago, New York, Portland, San
