without doping. "Not in that era," Armstrong said. (businessinsider.com)
August 19, 2014  The
Vuelta a Espana has a reputation as a revenge race for riders that have
had little success in the first part of the season. This year some of
the world’s biggest stars have been plagued by bad luck and while most
of the cycling world lamented Chris
Froome’s and Alberto
Contador’s crashes in the Tour de France and Joaquim Rodriguez’
crash in the Giro d’Italia, Vuelta director Javier Guillen may
have had a hard time hiding his satisfaction. (cyclingquotes.com)
August 19, 2014  A

España this weekend, including WorldTour rookies Chad Haga and Lawson Craddock, who

in a Cessna. (cyclingnews.com)

August 19, 2014 August 19, 2014  Smearing
rider reputations and even mocking Norwegians about the Utøya massacre
in now-deleted tweet, Oleg Tinkov’s funny side is matched by a tendency
for provocation and shock. He’s made a career out of it. Could any
other team owner get away with this? (inrng.com)
August 19, 2014  History
has a funny way of repeating itself. Chris Horner returns
to the Vuelta a España with outsider status despite blowing everyone
off his wheel a year ago. Vincenzo
Nibali admitted he underestimated the 42-year-old American
last year as Horner
made history as the oldest grand tour winner, and it’s looking likely
that the world-class field that’s poised to duke it out for the Spanish
tour could well make the same mistake. (velonews.com)
August 19, 2014  Ivan Basso is

Boasson Hagen their next principle transfer target.

Feltrin confirmed to Cyclingnews that the team had offered
the Norwegian a contract for next year, with a potential move creating

Sagan racing in the same colors. (cyclingnews.com)

intuition tells us that tires with a patterned tread are less likely to

August 19, 2014  "Since
most carbon fiber frame builders seem to be using kammtail (as modern
as the ’71 Chevy Vega!) tubes for aerodynamic purposes, it got me
wondering about the relationship between cross-sectional area and
shape. Is a modern carbon frame more or less aerodynamic than my
25-year-old steel frame, using round cross sections but with a much
smaller area exposed to the wind?" (velonews.com)
August 19, 2014  A
bike race is rarely just a single race. Within even a single criterium,
there are usually a multitude of races taking place. If
you’ve ever worked as a bike mechanic, yours is a race unto its own. A
race mechanic’s job, when done well, is an event that is less
transparent than invisible. For all practical purposes, the job of a
race mechanic is to correct an event that shouldn’t be allowed to
change the outcome of a race. So when done well, a wheel change is a
non-event; it’s as if it never happened. (redkiteprayer.com)
August 19, 2014  One
of the concerns with moving to thru axles on road bikes is the time
consuming process of wheel removal, a legitimate issue in the heat of
the peloton or wheel pits in ‘cross. Paul Components looks like it may
have a solution with their upcoming quick release thru axle skewers.

August 19, 2014  Last
year, Retroshift released a rear derailleur designed with cyclocross in
mind. That didn’t mean that it helped you get over the barriers quicker
than other rear derailleurs, but offered a promise of durability and
cost-effective replacement.CXMagazine:
