CyclingIQ: By the end of the 2012 Tour of Taihu Lake, overall winner Milan Kadlec had gained, on average, a one second advantage over runner-up Floris Goesinnen for every one hundred kilometres raced. Ultimately, the Czech rider never allowed rivals to claw back the bonus time he gained from winning the first stage.

CyclingIQ: "What about your nutrition plan? Do you even have a plan? It continues to amaze me how much cyclists will invest in perfecting their training schedules, clothing and equipment, leaving absolutely nothing to chance. Yet when it comes to what they eat and drink, many cyclists even at the elite level are happy to go with the flow, eating whatever comes their way."

CyclingIQ: The minute gaps between classification leaders and competitors aspiring to succeed them can only ever endure in a flat stage race like Tour of Taihu Lake. However, unlike GC contenders, points jersey hopefuls don’t have the luxury of finishing in the bunch to preserve their overall placings. La Pomme Marseille’s Benjamin Giraud made the right moves today to move on up.

Cyclismas: Many times over the years that I’ve been involved with women’s cycling, I’ve heard a lot of phrases like “turning point,” “potential,” and “fragile.”  But it seems to me we actually have turned a corner.  OK, there are still many more curves in the road, but things have changed. We need to reflect that in our outlook for the sport.

CyclingNews: The International Cycling Union (UCI) has begun the process by which it hopes will address the serious allegations that surfaced during USADA's investigation into Lance Armstrong and the US Postal team.





RedKitePrayer: The effect of the release of USADA’s “reasoned decision” and the accompanying documents has been rather like a Hollywood special-effects explosion. Debris has been raining down from the sky long after the explosion itself has ceased to reverberate.











Dead Star: First image in my head when I saw that McQuaid picture.

Good idea, so I ran with it.
