to transfer every last watt of energy from the body to the wheels,
serious riders are constantly in search of gear that prioritizes energy
efficiency. A lot of times this equates to stiffness and as little

frames, with most high end cycling shoes sporting carbon fiber soles
for maximum power delivery to the pedals. (roadbikereview.com)

In cycling, there is simply yellow. Sure, the world champion’s stripes are really something. And there’s the polka-dots, the green jersey, and the maglia rosa. But the Maillot Jaune? It’s the one that’s sought after and dreamt of. It’s the one that motivates broken riders to train, to grind their teeth down. Wearing it in Paris is the dream, but holding it for even a day is something a rider carries with him forever. (velonews.com) October 16, 2014  Cyclocross

technical course. Lou

October 16, 2014  The
curtain has fallen on the 2014 UCI WorldTour season in China, with the

October 16, 2014  The
word ‘iconic’ is often over-worked in cycling, but its application to
the wiggling climb up Alpe d’Huez is entirely justified.
The 13.8-kilometers of tarmac slithers its way from Bourg d’Oisans to the ski resort of Alpe d’Huez in the French Alps, navigating 21 hairpin bends along the way.
