I know about Zabriskie not wanting to go, but there are a couple of other names that I am surprised not to see.

Tom Danielson (Garmin-Slipstream) – Road Race and Time Trial
Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Slipstream) – Road Race
Brent Bookwalter (BMC) – Road Race

Man, the Redneck can’t get a break this year. Hopefully Horner recovers quickly.

Hoping the Redneck is okay after this crash at the Vuelta today. Looks like half the peloton went down.
Contador Is FreeLancing

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 [...]
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 [...]
Columbia-HTC New Kit

The new kit is looking good, and Cav is looking confident. I cant wait for the sprints!
Boonen Is Tour Bound

Personally I don’t agree with the decision, but that obviously doesn’t matter. However I AM happy that Cavendish will now have Boonen to smack around in the sprints!
The other good news, Boonen won’t get lost, he can just follow the white lines. Sorry about that, I know that was horible, but I had to make at [...]
