| Laying it on the line: Nairo will win the Tour. "It
may not be the most courageous of calls but my bet is that I'll be
crowing when the 2016 Tour de France peloton crosses the finish line in
Paris, with Movistar's Nairo Quintana the winner. Here's why. Nairo himself. At 26 he's close to reaching his prime as an athlete. In contrast, his key opponents are all in their 30's, either at their absolute peak, like Chris Froome (31) or on their way to decline, like Alberto Contador (33). Let's say they are in the marginal gains phase of their careers while Quintana still has room for big improvements." (sbs.com.au) June 26, 2016 Peloton reacts to news of Stig Broeckx brain damage.

Haute Route Rockies Journal: The dream is over. "It was a fleeting state of focus, of insularity, and intense experience. And now, it’s over. The week is over, the Mavic Haute Route Rockies is over, and in a few ways, it feels like it was a dream. To begin with, it was a dream to imagine I could handle so much riding - 600 miles in a week, three consecutive days of over 100 miles. But it happened, and really, it felt pretty good overall."
