VeloNews: Like a flock of seagulls diving down on a child’s bag of bread crumbs, the entire cycling industry hones in on two very different towns this time of year. First up is sleepy Friedrichshaffen, Germany, home of Eurobike, the largest cycling tradeshow on earth. Less than a month later, we all pack up for Las Vegas and Interbike — smaller, with more North American brands, but equally wild.

Alberto Contador (Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank) is one second off the red jersey.
CyclingNews: Just one second behind in the overall classification, Alberto Contador (Saxo Bank-Tinkoff) says he can only be satisfied despite such an agonisingly near miss. Contador missed out on the stage 11 Vuelta time trial to Pontevedra by 17 seconds to Fredrik Kessiakoff. He now sits one second off the leader, Joaquim Rodriguez, with Chris Froome third, at 16 seconds.

BikeRadar: Mavic has a number of new and improved products for the coming year, but one thing the French brand does not have in its line-up is a single carbon fiber clincher. Although the wheel type has gained some popularity for its pro, carbon-tubular look with the convenience of a clincher, Mavic isn’t going there.






WD-40 Bike Line Heavy Duty Degreaser
BikeRumor: Ever lubed a chain with WD-40?… me neither. Good thing is, WD-40′s out with a line of products made specifically for bikes – wet chain lubricant, dry chain lubricant, a heavy-duty degreaser, a frame protectant, and a foaming bike wash. WD-40 Bike will debut in September at Interbike and it’ll hit the market shortly after.
