 Sidelined
for several months this season as a result of his positive test for
clenbuterol at last year’s Japan Cup, Tinkoff Saxo rider Mick Rogers has said
that while his suspension – later reversed by the UCI – was a very
stressful period, that it ultimately made him a much better rider.
The Australian told CyclingTips that the period led to a complete re-evaluation of his mental and physical approach to cycling, with the enforced break from competition giving him time to reflect, to rethink how he had traditionally done things and to tackle the demands of cycling in a different way. (cyclingtips.com.au) October 12, 2014  Tyler Farrar won
the third stage of the Tour of Beijing on Sunday, ending a season-long
victory drought at the final WorldTour race of the year.
The longest stage of the tour, the 176km stage served up tricky climbs followed by rapid descents, and Farrar came out of nowhere near the end to take the victory. (velonews.com) October 12, 2014  After
a long road season it is advisable to take a break as much to rest the
mind as the body. It depends on which discipline is your priority
whether you decide to take a break now or after the cross season.

Coppa Italia, a series of Italian races ranked HC or 1, wrapped up with
the GP Bruno Beghelli today. Sonny
Colbrelli won the overall individual

overall team in the series is given a wildcard invitation to the Giro
d'Italia the following season, but Neri Sottoli's win has come under
question by the competing team managers. (cyclingnews.com)

October 12, 2014  The
final round of the 2014 Red Hook Criterium Championship Series was held
on a fast and narrow road circuit in the suburbs of Milan, Italy. Rain
in the morning meant isolated patches of damp, and slippery painted
road markings lay in wait to punish anyone pushing too hard before a
dry line had been given time to develop. (pelotonmagazine.com)
October 12, 2014 | October 12, 2014  When
was the race won? In the final sprint for the literal explanation but Thomas Voeckler was
easily beaten. He went into the finish with no theatrics, stunts or
even facial expressions. The image above shows the Europcar rider and Jelle Wallays of
Topsport Vlaanderen-Baloise racing with less than 10km to go. Voeckler is hunched
low and straining to produce the power and the more the closer the
finish got, the more a win would become elusive. (inrng.com)

settle for second. (cyclingnews.com)

25-year-old had just signed his first pro contract with Topsport
Vlaanderen when he won the U23 Paris-Tours in 2010, and hopes this
year's victory will demonstrate his talent to the WorldTour teams.

the last lap, Mani
pounced at the right time, clenching her teeth in the last remaining
