CyclingTips: "For much of my life I've prided myself on constantly keeping fit and never letting myself go such that I'm starting from scratch. Until now. I'm many kilos overweight and I went for a flat 80km ride yesterday which I struggled to finish. There might be some of you out there in this same situation and now is the time to begin again. There's only one solution and it's obvious, but many people make the same mistakes when starting out again."

London Velodrome
PodiumCafe: Sprint and Omnium day again. Today brings the remaining three omnium events starting with the 4000 m Pursuit in the morning and the medals to be decided in the afternoon.



London Velodrome
InnerRing: It’s proving to be a good contest but at the same time a strange one. For example the rule of one athlete per nation in a race means some of the best riders are left at home, indeed the field is of a lower quality compared to the World Championships.

CyclingTips: The Tour of Gippsland was just completed yesterday as part of the Subaru National Road Series. Will Walker (Drapac) made a remarkable comeback to cycling by winning the tour after a three-and-a-half year break from the sport due to a cardiac arrhythmia known as tachycardia. Up until six months ago, Will questioned if he'd ever be able to race again.

LA vs USADA screengrab
Cyclismas: We managed to coerce @ZimmermanAnna to focus all 150 watts of her awesomeness on deconstructing the eleventh-hour filing by Lance Armstrong’s legal team that we managed to get our hands on late last night (because the high-paid interns at Patton Boggs LLP and Howry Breen & Herman LLP like to do everything at the last minute).
