Worlds ITT Preview
While its Start List isn’t as star-studded as Sunday’s Road Race, tomorrow’s World Championship ITT possesses no shortage of riders capable of winning the Rainbow Skinsuit. Luckily, the list itself is short, making it easy to sort the contenders from the pretenders. Let’s take a look at the 10 whom we feel have the best … Continue reading

Locally called the Donostia-Donostia … Continue reading

Look for an attack from teammates of favorites hoping to shake-up the GC. Prime candidates? Roman Kreuziger, Frank Schleck, and yes, Lance Armstrong. All three … Continue reading
Tour de France – Stage 7 – Arcalis Preview
Beginning tomorrow, the Tour de France enters the Pyrenees with a mountaintop finish in Arcalis. It’s the first of three Pyrenean stages; but since it’s the only summit finish, it’s most likely the most significant. As we pointed-out earlier in the week, the Pyrenees will provide us with the race’s next big GC shake-up following … Continue reading
