Yeah, it’s sad. Tyler Tunes used to be one of the coolest features on VeloNews. But now, he’s been relegated to lowly RoadCycling.com. Don’t worry, Tyler, if the verdict doesn’t go your way, I’ll be more than happy to host your diary entries. Everyone already thinks I’m soft on doping, so why not, right? But…
Pro Cycling News – United Cycling Revealed, Results
The United Cycling Team. It’s the big news of the day. Look at this tremendous, in-depth article. And it promises an even more in-depth-er article later in the month! I’ve never seen VeloNews so excited! But I think there’s some questions they aren’t asking. Things like, “Whose putting these ‘United’ frames together?” Will my $6,000…
Pro Cycling News – Raisin Wins at Langkawi, Besseges Wraps Up, Challenge Balears Gets Going
Geez, man. Can’t take a break at all in this business. I don’t post yesterday and what happens? Saul Raisin, a 23-year old American, takes a sweet stage win on the climb to Cameron Highlands in the 3rd Stage of the TdL. (Would have been even sweeter if the dude had answered the interview questions…
Pro Cycling News – Boonen Wins Qatar, Leblacher at Besseges, Aitor Returns
Man, too bad I didn’t stick around for Etoile de Besseges results yesterday. Jaan Kirsipuu took the stage in a bunch sprint, which is awesome because Jaan Kirsipuu is my hero. I’ll write a rant about it sometime. Frederik Willems retained his lead, and hopes to carry it to an overall win. In other results,…
Pro Cycling News – Boonen Loses at Qatar, Valverde Quicker, Bode Cheats?
Yup. I screwed up again yesterday. Seems the Etoile de Besseges is a stage race, so Frederick Willems didn’t win it so much as he won the first stage of it. Ah well. At least I’m not the only one messing up (read the last paragraph and results). I have once again awoken too early…
Pro Cycling News – Boonen Takes Third, Willems Wins Besseges, Nys Injured
I know, I missed the GP Overture yesterday. But I was in a hurry. Depending on when you looked at the site, you may have noticed that I forgot to add a title – just think of all the Google searches for “Tom Boonen Qatar” that will never find my page. Seriously, though, one guy…
Pro Cycling News – Boonen Takes Two at Tour of Qatar, Lance Responds to Bode
You know what happens when you wake up at a reasonable hour? You miss reporting on Stage 1 of the Tour of Qatar, which is one of my favorite training races, as it visits such exotic locations as “Khalifa Stadium” and “Camel Race Track”. Interesting though it may be, the result was no surpise, as…
Pro Cycling News – 'Cross Worlds, Team Presentations, Fat Jokes
Arrrg…So much news for me to re-report. And all because I was lazy and didn’t post yesterday. I shall begin with ‘Cross Worlds (which I choose to write without the apostrophe – I see “Worlds” as a plural, short form of “World Championships”, VeloNews apparently sees it as a possesive, I guess from “The World’s…
Pro Cycling News – 'Cross Worlds, Team Camps, Comebacks
Man, I was so excited by yesterday’s racing. Such a letdown to have none today. There’s some ‘Cross Worlds results, but it’s just juniors and U23s. News of ‘Cross Worlds is the course is fast with a lot of stairs, which, if the U23 results are any indication, are something lacking from ‘cross courses in…
Pro Cycling News – Boonen Wins Doha, Bode Accuses, Rujano out of Langkawi
Ah, nothing like the election of what the US government calls a a terrorist group to kick off the Middle Eastern racing season. World Champ Tom Boonen has picked up right where he left off, taking today’s GP Doha ahead of Robbie Hunter and Erik Zabel (though I’ve got no clue why the Flandrian did…
