Monday Musette – Ballan Spills the Beans
1. Congratualtions to George Hincapie for taking another Stars and Stripes jersey in South Carolina yesterday. (Dave Z. took one too in the ITT.) It’s looking more and more like George will be wearing his new kit next year for BMC. Early reports had Levi Leipheimer making the switch as well. Could it be true? … Continue reading
Vuelta d’Espana Preview
It’s back to school time, so that means it’s time for the annual 3-week party known as the Vuelta d’Espana. Seriously, I remember hearing of fights among team personnel over who would get to work the race—it’s that much fun. For the riders though, it’s a bit of a different story, especially for those coming … Continue reading
Radio Rumors
I bet you were as excited as I was to read the Armstrong Brings Classics Riders to RadioShack headline over at Cyclingnews. And I bet you were as disappointed as I was to read that the riders in question are Grégory Rast and Tomas Vaitkus, both currently with Astana. I’m not sure whom to blame, … Continue reading

1. The ENECO Benenlux Tour wraps-up tomorrow with a 13.1km time trial around Amersfoort. After his performance yesterday, should we just go ahead and declare Edvald Boassen Hagen the winner now? The biggest threats to his GC hopes come from the men in places 3, 4, and 5 after Stage 5: Chavanel, Nibali, and Poosthuma. … Continue reading
Should E-N-E-C-O Equal R-E-S-P-E-C-T?
Admit it, you’ve spent more time over the past week reading about Leadville than this week’s ENECO Tour. It’s okay, you’re among friends. I made the same mistake. In my Embrocation column this week, I intimated that the ENECO Tour (among several other August races) doesn’t hold the same amount of prestige (and therefore doesn’t … Continue reading
Postcard From August
And then it was August. I know. It’s hard to get excited about the Clasica San Sebastian, the Tour of Poland, and the Benelux Tour. You don’t know where Burgos is, and you certainly have no idea what “Vattenfall Cyclassics†means. But rather than moan and groan about all you can’t do during the month … Continue reading
