Stage
1 of the 2010 Tour Down Under just wrapped up and the winner was Andre
Greipel of HTC-Columbia in a field sprint.
Parasite,
bike.
There
are any number of good tires and perhaps as many as a half dozen great
tires of the clincher variety.
Óscar
Pereiro was close to retirement just months ago, but says he’s finding
new wings with his move to Astana for the 2010 season.
On
the heels of the disappointment of not taking yellow during last year’s
Tour de France, there were rumours that George Hincapie was
contemplating retirement from the sport.
Having
won the World Cup race in Roubaix last season, in almost identically
muddy conditions, Katie Compton (Planet Bike) was a surprise
non-starter.
Perhaps
'card shark' won't be on the business card...
With
one win already under its belt, Team Sky is planning a very strong Tour
Down Under campaign and 2010 season in general.
Offers
function, fit and performance nearly on a par with SRAM's top-end Red
groupset.
The
diameter of a tube gives the frame its stiffness and the thickness adds
durability and strength.
Slovakian
twins spread out to target Belgian and Italian Classics.
Pre-race
favorite Sam Hill crashes out.
Danish
team take to road on new bikes.
Zdenek
Stybar (Telenet-Fidea) and Katerina Nash won their respective
categories of the penultimate round of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup.
Nothing
is perhaps as pathetic and revealing of deep character as when the rich
beat up on the less fortunate.
Ceremony
marks effort to revive earthquake damaged region.

Armstrong looks for innovations from Team Sky, Vervecken rounds out
Belgian CX squad, Hincapie to continue for 2 years, and more.
"If I
only had a dollar for every minute I've spent sweating on the trainer
in the glow of a WCP production."
Kessler
slammed his head into a wall and fractured his skull after swerving to
dodge a cat.
For
the rest of the world, Monday’s cyclocross headlines focused on Zdenek
Stybar’s Roubaix World Cup win and subsequent ascension to the top of
the World Cup standings. But in Belgium, motherland and epicenter of
elite level ’cross, Niels Albert grabbed front page attention.
The
death of Christian Meier’s brother gives the Garmin-Transitions rider a
fresh perspective on life.

Cancer

you buy a $250 product, nothing in that price tells you that it will

by surgery after a wicked crash, HTC-Columbia’s André Greipel is ready
to race.
For
years Sean Yates and Lance Armstrong competed together on the Motorola
team, with the older British rider teaching the young Texan a lot about
the pro scene and the sport.
Cyclist-motorist
interaction should improve.
Drapac-Porsche
returning to New Zealand with strong line-up.
It’s
rare for a Tour de France champion to think about anything but winning
another maillot jaune. But Carlos Sastre is not your typical rider, so
it shouldn’t come as a complete surprise that the 2008 Tour champion
remains ambivalent about his plans come July.
