How the hell does a 20 year-old who had two prior DUI convictions and multiple arrests, still have the opportunity to drive? He’s 20, with 2 DUI priors? Really?!! Why wasn’t his truck impounded? Why wasn’t he in jail. Two convictions and 3 arrests in two years, for God’s sake, what is going on? Joe Novotny recently moved [...]

Twice in eight days cyclists have been struck by motorists in Santa Clarita. Three have been seriously injured, and now one has been killed. It appears that 20 year old Marco Valencia felt that it was necessary to be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol on the morning of July 11th, ultimately crossing the yellow [...]

I am already making plans, and looking forward to canned beer.

I guess we all knew it was coming, I just didn’t think he’d be so impatient to do it in the first mountain stage. Yep, Alberto Contador appears to be riding his own race. Lance and Levi both said that while it wasn’t THE TEAM’S plan, it wasn’t unexpected either. I really curious to see [...]
Another Cyclist Hit On Sierra Highway

Unfortunately another cyclist was hit by a motor vehicle on Sierra Highway. The only good news is that he has survived, but is in extremely serious condition. As it turns out, the truck’s mirror hit Kevin Mather as it passed. On the surface one might not think that a collision with a mirror could be [...]
Don’t Get Columbia-HTC Mad
Posted in Road Racing, tagged cycling, lance armstrong, tour de france on July 6, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Apparently Columbia-HTC was asking the other sprinters’ teams to help out pulling the break back. Nobody helped. So what did Columbia do? As soon as the peloton changed direction into strong crosswinds with 20k to go, they drilled it. All nine of them were on the front, only 18 other riders could keep up. What a sight [...]
TdF 2009 Cav Wins Stage 3!

Wow, that turned out to be an interesting stage. I wasn’t able to watch the coverage because of work, but I was able to follow it on my phone. Cavendish proved again that he is usually the fastest guy in the peloton. However the interesting story is Armstrong making the split, leaving Contador and Leipheimer 39 [...]
CAV WINS STAGE 2!

Nice win by Cavendish today! Usually when you’re second wheel with under 500m to go, you’re in a good position. Not today. You can’t see it unless you watch the overhead view, but Cavendish was actually able to ride away from Farrrar in the last 100 or so meters. Farrar is a great sprinter, but Cavendish possesses [...]
This Should Be Good

Regardless of who you support, you have to admit this is going to be interesting and fun to watch.
On another note, I really hope Bruyneel leaves Astana after the tour and starts his own team with Armstrong, Leipheimer and Horner. Eventually meeting up with Astana and their “leader” Vino in next year’s tour, and kicking his [...]
