Tour de France – Stage 10 – A Late Wrap-up
Did you think I was supporting the radio ban with a blog ban of my own? Not quite… It must have been a boring day to be a director and a great day to be a rider. It’s shame so many seemed against even giving it a fair shake; it could have produced some great … Continue reading
Tour de France – Rest Day Report – 5 Indefensible Claims Re-Visited
Just before the Tour began in Monaco, we published 5 Indefensible Claims about this year’s race. Outrageous, unfounded, and perhaps politically incorrect, they were an interesting way to generate some conversation about the events to come.

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
Tour de France – Stage 6 – Wrap-up – The Rain in Spain…
It was yet another exciting stage today, thanks in large part to David Millar hoping he could emulate Thomas Voeckler’s last gasp before the line. Unfortunately for Millar, the chase did its math correctly and caught the Garmin veteran with a bit less than 2km to go. This was the second bout of misfortune for … Continue reading
