Versus hosted its media call for the 2010 Tour de France today, with Phil Liggett, Paul Sherwen, Tyler Farrar, Christian VandeVelde and Levi Leipheimer all on the line at one point or another. Highlights for me were Tyler saying the exposure to Dutch roads at the Giro will probably make things worse for the Tour, […]

Todd Yezefski has been many things. In his early days, he was a pudgy but suprisingly quick Junior track racer, who at least has a t-shirt from Junior Worlds. Once described as “Pantani on donuts,” Todd slimmed down while leading Dartmouth College to three consecutive national road titles. Since then, he’s plied his trade on […]

Every week, Aaron Cohen (@UnlikelyWords) writes a recap of Mad Men for his blog Unlikely Words, and I illustrate something from the episode to go with it. Here’s Aaron’s recap for season 6 episode 13:
[…] Peggy is bristling at the new dynamic, and, as it turns out the work being produced. I loved this, “Well, I’m tired of fighting for everything to be better. You’re all a bunch of hacks who are perfectly happy with shit. Nobody cares about anything. No one wants things to be better? I got it, I’ll just stand out here all by myself.”

“I’ve heard some things about us that concern me. Some journalists will say anything. I can say that we have worked very hard together with the 25 riders of CSC in ten day training camps.

Bjarne Riis, responding to Boonen’s Gewiss comments.
And so it goes…
“I only saw Gewiss in action once. CSC reminds me of them.”
—Tom Boonen, 2004.
And we were all like “naw, CSC is totally clean. It’s the boot camps!”
The Mur de Huy is so steep they need custom signage for it. Honest!

Women’s Fleche pre-race interviews. Can’t help but feel like Specialized-Lululemon is planning shenanigans—”a lot of options”, “put on a good show”, “perhaps some surprises”.
The best trophy in cycling? @ashleygruber and I think so. #trobroleon
I dunno, it can sometimes be a handful…
MOVIE NEWS! A new trailer for The Fault in Our Stars will be shown in theaters before the movie The Other Woman, which comes out on Friday in the US.
Even though it’s ridiculous to pay for a full movie just to catch the trailer for another, it’s STILL easier than watching most bike races live in the US.
