2010 Tour de France – Stage 17 Wrap-Up
In the end, today’s stage was perhaps a bit anti-climatic, as first Andy Schleck and then Alberto Contador proved unable to shake the other on the Tourmalet. Clearly, these two are the cream of this year’s Tour de France crop—and considering how only 8 seconds separetes them, we’re on the verge of one of the … Continue reading

2010 Tour de France – Stage 14 Wrap-Up
I’m not usually one for histrionics, but I’m running out superlatives to describe the action we’ve seen thus far in the 2010 Tour de France—it truly might go down as one of the most exciting Tours in recent memory. As someone said during today’s live blog, “2010 Giro d’Italia, meet the 2010 Tour de France.†… Continue reading

2010 Tour de France – Stage 11 Wrap-Up
Mark Renshaw got a bit cheeky today, butting heads (literally) with Julian Dean and then slamming the door on Tyler Farrar in the final dash to the finish line in Bourg-les-Valence. Renshaw clearly veered from his line to cut-off Farrar and was sent home from the Tour for his actions—not that it mattered though, as … Continue reading
2010 Tour de France – Stage 10 Wrap-Up
Team Radio Shack continued to try and salvage its 2010 Tour de France with a stage win by the former Portugese champion, Sergio Paulinho. Today’s 179km ride through the foothills of the Alps took the riders over the steepest climb of the race and down the descent that ended Joseba Beloki’s 2003 Tour—and career. While … Continue reading
2010 Tour de France – Stage 9 Wrap-up
Today’s stage was quite possibly the most exciting I’ve ever seen. The only letdown: what once seemed to be a wide-open Tour now appears to be a two-horse race. Here’s what’s what: 1. Sandy Casar’s win renders moot the huge tactical gaffe committed by the 4-man break in allowing itself to be caught by Alberto … Continue reading
2010 Tour de France – Stage 8 Wrap-Up: “Winners and Losers”
On a day when many of us were expecting fireworks during Stage 8 of the Tour de France, we got them—and how! With most of the race’s favorites still in contention, we seem poised for more aggressive racing when the Alps continue on Tuesday. As for Lance Armstrong, a new era seems set to begin … Continue reading
