It was a bitter/sweet US Pro Criterium Championship in Grand Rapids, Michigan for Jelly Belly Cycling’s Brad Huff. Huff was second for the second year, beaten by his friend, but rival on the US crit scene, Ken Hanson of Kelly Benefits. This year, however, has been a great one for the Missouri-native.

Christoph Sauser: "My 14th place at the World Cup in Val d'Isère was more and less what I expected. There were three incidents worth mentioning from the race: my Superman crash on lap two, a bee sting on my tongue, plus the lack of oxygen due to the altitude which sped up our breathing but slowed down our legs. After each sip of drink, I was worried I was turning into an asthmatic!"

BikeRumor: Campagnolo Athena EPS group announced recently trades just a few carbon fiber parts for aluminum to bring the price down, and, at first glance, that’s about it.

Individual pursuit to return in Rio de Janeiro?

road.cc: Garmin's unique GPS tracker arrives, and it raises a question: what is it for?

BikeRumor: Maybe because they’re usually the stuff of late-night informercials, I’m usually skeptical of do-it-all cleaners.  Powerful on grease, gentle on hands- all that stuff.

VeloNation: American loses his sprinter in the lead out but takes third in opening stage.

TwistedSpoke: The deafening noise around the USADA investigation of Lance Armstrong has turned into a battle for jurisdiction between the US anti-doping agency and the non-governing body of the sport, the UCI and mostly president Patrick McQuaid.
