 John Degenkolb
claimed stage 4 of the Vuelta a Espana from Mairena del Alcor to
Córdoba after unleashing a furious sprint in the final 200 meters. The
German won by several bike lengths, gauging his efforts perfectly on a
day that saw a number of his sprint rivals suffer in the heat. Vincente Reynes
finished second with Michael
Matthews doing enough to retain his leader’s jersey,
taking in third. (cyclingnews.com)
August 26, 2014  Michael Matthews was
unable to make it two in a row in the Vuelta a Espana after a poor

of respect for the race leader that had caused him to be poorly
positioned. (cyclingquotes.com)

August 26, 2014  His

enough at the Vuelta a España finish in Cordoba as temperatures soared

August 26, 2014  A
rider making his Grand Tour debut does not typically attack at the most
difficult point of the toughest stage to date, but then Adam Yates does not
appear to be a typical neo-professional. (cyclingnews.com)
August 26, 2014  Fascinating
too to see a rider coming into his own, as Michael Matthews did
by taking the win off the plucky Dan

a big gap between audiences in the “new” world of cycling in the
English-speaking world where cycling is booming and the “old” world
where it is established. To caricature the audience in the US, UK,
Australia, Canada and New Zealand is small… but wealthy; the audience
in France, Belgium, Italy and Spain is huge but in a lower income
bracket. (inrng.com)
August 26, 2014  On
a day when the biggest challenge was the all-consuming heat it was that

looking for more wins in this year’s race. (pezcyclingnews.com)

August 26, 2014  More
than slightly overweight and without a clear views on his future in
professional cycling, Carlos
Betancur has returned to competition in Spain after he
infamously didn’t make it back from Colombia on time to participate in
his season-s biggest objective-to-be – the Tour de France. Despite a

build proper disposition for upcoming World Championships.

August 26, 2014  Mary McConneloug
& Mike Broderick:
"It's been a challenging and complicated past few weeks for Mike and
me. A time that we have had our mental fortitude tested in a less
familiar way. The problems started for us abruptly with a training
crash at the World Cup at Mont-Sainte-Anne in Quebec, Canada. After
getting the x-ray confirmation that I actually broke my ankle (a
lateral malleolus fracture) Mike and I have had some serious refiguring
to do. Dang!" (cyclingnews.com)
