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.

Pre-race
favorite Sam Hill crashes out.
Danish

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.

the World Cup standings. But in Belgium, motherland and epicenter of
elite level ’cross, Niels Albert grabbed front page attention.

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.
