 Oleg Tinkov is ready
to offer a €1 million to Alberto
Contador and his Grand Tour rivals if they will compete in
all three Grand Tours in 2015. Tinkov
launched his Grand Tour triple challenge at the Giro d'Italia
presentation in Milan after Contador
confirmed that he will target a Giro d'Italia-Tour de France double.
Tinkov believes that the best Grand Tour riders in professional cycling
should go head to head in the three Grand Tours. He first called on
riders to ride all three Grand Tours via Twitter. Now he has backed his
offer with a significant cash incentive. (cyclingnews.com)

new Word Champion Michał
Kwiatkowski attended the 2015 Giro d’Italia presentation
along with his team-mates Rigoberto
Uran and Matteo
Trentin on Monday, just after making his first-ever
appearance in the rainbow jersey at Il Lombardia. The 24-year old Pole
recently claimed that he will focus more on one-day classics in the
nearest future, but called the balanced route of next year’s Italian
three-week event as a one suitable for not only pure climbers, but more
complete riders of his own kind. (cyclingquotes.com)
October 6, 2014  The
opening stage is a team time trial run on cycle path. It’s on an old
railway line featuring illuminated tunnels and just wide enough to fit
a team car and like last summer’s Dauphiné, a way to show off the local
infrastructure. (inrng.com)
October 6, 2014  Katie Compton
grabbed her 99th UCI victory on the second day of action at the KMC

October 6, 2014  Rollers
are viewed with suspicion, incomprehension or downright fear by many
riders – a dangerous liability only suitable for hardcore experienced
riders. But once mastered, they can provide a valuable addition to the
training armoury of any cyclist, regardless of
experience. (bikeradar.com)

October 6, 2014  Alberto Contador has
announced on Monday that injuries sustained in the Il Lombardia crash
prevent him from training effectively, and thus he won’t participate in
the final WorldTour event of the season, the Tour of Beijing held from
October 10 to 14. This means that Alejandro
Valverde will become a winner of 2014 individual
rankings, it is unclear, however, if the Movistar leader will take part
in the event as the battle between Spaniards is over.

October 6, 2014  "To
chase a classic is always very stressful: you need a lot of study to
plan the race passages and a lot of experience to realize that plan.
That’s why Lombardia is the most difficult to follow live: the
organizers change the route every 4-5 years. When you barely know the
tricks, they change the game!" (pezcyclingnews.com)
October 6, 2014  Drapac
Cycling has signed Dutchman Peter
Koning on a two year deal starting next season. The 23
year old joins Drapac after three seasons racing in the Continental

cycling talent from the Netherlands. (sbs.com.au)
October 6, 2014  "Life
is full of surprises. Will my coffee be good or amazing today, will
this mystery beer I’ve been handed while cross eyed blow my mind or
make me blow my chunks, or will file treads be fast or make me crash?
It is not often that I really know much going into the season or ever
for that matter. I don’t race all summer, so my form is always a
mystery. With Interbike and cyclocross happening in summer these days
the question always looms will bikes be ready on time? Of course in my
day-to-day life there is always the question of what on earth will the
donkeys do today." (cxmagazine.com)

October 6, 2014  "With
Dan Martin
taking a well deserved victory in the Giro di Lombardia yesterday. We
take a look back at the action and study that rare breed of rider – an
attacker who took a chance and won! In case you missed it, something
rather profound and about as rare as a white rhino sighting in downtown
Milan happened yesterday on the roads of Lombardy. Yes, ladies and
gents, a professional bicycle rider took a chance and won a road race."

Pharma-Quick Step, but is currently looking for a new team for 2015.

October 6, 2014  "Gravel
grinding, adventure riding, whatever you want to call it, it’s nothing
new. Bikes have been going off-road for longer than pavement has
existed, but there’s never really been the perfect tool for the job
when you want to go from pavement, to dirt, to trails and back when
connecting some new routes. You’re most likely a seasoned enthusiast
and are probably tired of riding the same roads again and again. This
is where the Diverge will help inspire you to broaden your horizons."
