I received my second issue of Cyclocross Magazine this week, and I can’t say enough about it. If you are at all interested in cyclocross, you need to subscribe to this rag. A one year subscription, four issues, starts at 16 bucks, and in my opinion is well worth the price. So far they have [...]

Doping Controls-Out of Control
Posted in Road Racing, tagged cycling, doping, EPO, Kevin Van Impe, paris nice, Road Racing, testing on March 16, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This morning I read the most disturbing cycling doping story I have ever read. No it didn’t involve a cyclist doping, it involved the testers. I was unaware of this, but professional cyclist Kevin Van Impe recently lost his new-born son. As a father I can’t even imagine what that must feel like, and my [...]

The weather preceding the storm this morning was incredible, which made my Saturday morning ride even more enjoyable. However the thing that really struck me today were the responses to my greetings on the bike today. I can truly say that I have never had so many people show so much “enthusiasm” when responding to [...]

I’m sorry, I should probably let this go but I can’t. I read another article about my friend Riccardo Ricco this morning that reminded me of something. His nickname is “The Cobra”. I have no issue with someone having a nickname, that is perfectly acceptable, but “The Cobra”, c’mon. What’s even better, if I remember [...]

I saw this picture of “professional” bike racer Riccardo Ricco at bettiniphoto.net and had to share it.
I understand that he was upset with crashing, he was probably feeling pretty good before that, but is this the way a big boy acts? It is difficult for an average Joe like me to see a professional cyclist, who is [...]

Congratulations to Steven De Jongh from Quick Step for wining the 2008 edition of Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne. I checked in to cyclingnews.com’s live coverage late in the race and actually laughed out loud. I laughed because it was saying Quick Step had SEVEN riders in the break. I think the only one missing was Bettini, who crashed [...]
