Fleche-Wallone Video at last! Sorry about the jerkiness of some of the video playback—that’s from the live feed, not from me. YouTube and Vimeo at some point are now up, though not right now because I am way tired yes right now because I am crazy. [right-click for iTunes compatible download] Also made a few…

How The Race Was Won – Amstel Gold 2009
Amstel Gold! Ivanov wins a classic heads-up hill sprint, with daring attacks and savvy teamwork throughout. Also on YouTube and Vimeo. [right-click for iTunes-compatible download] Note well that all Americans do not hold such stereotypical views of the Netherlands as expressed in the opening of this movie. My implication that most do is purely for…
How The Race Was Won – Paris-Roubaix 2009

Overheard at Roubaix
Your browser does not support the audio tag. The Belgian fans were blasting this when Boonen suddenly found himself alone with 24k to go. It doesn’t really get interesting until 1:50 in, but apparently this song was all the rage in the peloton back in 2006. In fact, I’d even have a video to show…

I'm Back!
Yes, between tweets and chasing away a staggering amount of Russian-language comment spam, I think might just find time to post here again.

Who's Stupider: Pro Cyclists or NFL Players?

American football players are universally acknowledged as big, dumb sacks of meat, while most cyclists this side of the pond are skinny, smooth-legged oddballs with the means to buy three-thousand…
