October 7, 2014  As
folks start thinking about cyclocross treads and winter clothing, some
of us roadies still have work to do. I’m off to the Tour of Beijing,
and then I finish my season at Japan Cup the following week.
Japan Cup will be my last race in argyle. Obviously, as a professional cyclist, I want to race at the highest level, so the main goal of the year was to stay with Slipstream, and the secondary goal was to at least stay in the WorldTour. I suppose my dreams of winning the Tour de France just took a small hit, but I won’t give up. (velonews.com) October 7, 2014

October 7, 2014  The
SoCal cyclocross season slipped onto the small cog in a big hurry with
a doubleheader kickoff weekend at O’Melveny Park in Granada Hills. This
rarely utilized facility in the northern end of the San Fernando Valley
provided all the elements typical of the iconic SoCalCross Prestige
Series, including fast grass, a couple of dismounts, a bit of pavement
and a deceptive degree of climbing. The whole course seemed to consist
of false flat, which hammered unsuspecting riders with its accumulative
elevation gain. (cxmagazine.com)

2015, Phil Gaimon
has said that he is looking forward to the chance to chase personal
targets in races with the Optum Pro Cycling p/b Kelly Benefit
Strategies. (cyclingtips.com.au)
October 7, 2014  Cyclocross
is a funny little segment of cycling. While the niche is small when
compared to the total size of the pie, its adherents are
passionate to the point where many view the seven to eight months of
glorious weather in the off-season merely as prep for the four to five
months of suffering-filled racing in the wet and cold. Moreover, it's
one of the only categories that are actually showing strong growth – at
least in the US. So why do bike companies consistently have problems
actually delivering 'cross-specific gear in
time? (bikeradar.com)
October 7, 2014  The
chances of Formula One driver Fernando
Alonso creating a major professional team for 2015 are
hanging by a thread, with time running out for registration with the

infrastructure or struck a deal with an existing team. (cyclingnews.com)

do both the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France, if someone can do it,
it’s me,” Contador
said at the 2015 Giro d’Italia route presentation Monday. “I don’t know
if I can win the double, but the only way to find out is to try.”

October 7, 2014  The
thing about Oleg Tinkov?
His money is always where his mouth is. The Russian, who owns the Tinkoff-Saxo team, has challenged the sport’s best general classification riders to fight it out in all three grand tours next season, and he’s offering 1 million Euro total ($1,267,910) — 250,000 Euro each — to Chris Froome, Nairo Quintana, Vincenzo Nibali, and his own Alberto Contador, if the men compete against each other in the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France, and the Vuelta a España.

vintage-inspired machine will be called the L’Eroica and will be based
on the classic steel Bianchis of old, ridden by such legends as Felice
Gimondi and Fausto Coppi. Details are scarce at the moment, but it will
have a butted steel frame and feature a smattering of vintage-inspired
parts and a Campagnolo drivetrain. (bikeradar.com)

October 7, 2014  It
may be more than a year before Lance
Armstrong and the United States Department of Justice
square off in earnest, if ever. If the DOJ and Armstrong don’t
settle the looming whistleblower lawsuit hanging over the former Tour
de France winner, the court proceedings could run well into 2016.

October 7, 2014  Two
doping cases are dreadful news for a team but to make matters worse the
Astana team now misses the final races of the year. This
self-suspension is itself risks being tarnished if the team management
has been orchestrating events to ensure they sit out the race of their
choice. (inrng.com)
October 7, 2014 Andy Schleck has
called a press conference for this Thursday, igniting speculation that
the Luxembourger may be about to announce his retirement from cycling. Schleck will hold

October 7, 2014  After
three weeks of hot and dusty racing, even the anti-mudders were happy
to see rain in the weekend forecast for the Providence Cyclo-Cross
Festival. Much of the prerace chatter was filled with gossip about the
course after photos turned up on the internet of a double flyover. Then
a course map appeared showing a ramp right next to the beer garden.
Late on Friday, we were treated to Instagram videos of people messing
up the flyover, to mostly comical effect. The usual internet peanut
gallery erupted with outrage over the “unsafe” course design.

France in the same year. (cyclingnews.com)

October 7, 2014  With
dark days, darker nights and weather that’s verging on the criminal
side of foul, it’s little wonder that mountain bikers sometimes have a
hard time keeping their spirits up when the winter months draw
in. (bikeradar.com)
