Midweek Roundup: Paris-Nice, Tirreno-Adriatico
Today’s action at Tirreno-Adriatico and Paris-Nice both saw exciting racing. Tyler Farrar won Stage 2 of Tirreno-Adriatico in a sprint that demonstrated Garmin-Cervelo’s progress with sprint trains.

2010 Team-By-Team Season Review: #9
#9 – Lampre (Preview Ranking: #15) What We Said: Poor Lampre. Not only did they lose one of their best riders this past off-season—former World Champion and Tour of Flanders winner Alessandro Ballan—but they also almost didn’t even make it to the Pro Tour without the help of some last-minute legal wrangling. Ballan’s departure takes … Continue reading
2010 Tour de France – Stage 18 Wrap-Up & Stage 19 Predictions

2010 Tour de France – Stage 4 Wrap-Up
After yesterday’s cobble-fest, the Tour’s organizers granted the riders a bit of a respite today, with a straightforward 153.5km ride from Cambrai to Reims. While the finish was a bit dodgy—9 roundabouts in the final 56km—everyone appears to have come through unscathed—a true accomplishment given what we’ve seen over the past few days. Here’s what … Continue reading
