Tour de France – Stage 15 – Mini-Preview
I have a gut feeling about tomorrow’s stage: Liquigas is preparing to go on the offensive. The clue? Frederik Willems drifting-in off the back of today’s breakaway, almost 4 minutes down. Insignificant? Maybe. But Willems has good directors, and good directors think beyond the racing in front of them to the days to come. Ever … Continue reading

Is Katusha’s Sergei Ivanov one of the peloton’s craftiest riders or what? His attack with 10km to go in today’s stage was a lesson in timing. He observed the hesitation and lack of cohesion in his companions, and timed his move up the other side of the road to perfection. He knew that no one … 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

Cue the Jeopardy music…and don’t read down if you don’t want it spoiled. Here’s a hint: there are 4. Had enough? Okay, here are the answers: Well, … Continue reading

Tour de France – Stage 11 – Wrap-up
Congratulations to Mark Cavendish! His 4th stage win this year gives him 8 for his young career, tying him with Barry Hoban for the most by a British rider. Mark’s team clearly has its field sprint strategy dialed-in—no matter the terrain. Tyler Farrar has clearly asserted himself as one of the race’s top sprinters over … Continue reading
