2010 Tour de France – Stage 19 Wrap-Up
I’m certain to have missed the time cut by now, but here’s my two cents anyway: 1. Is Fabian Cancellara to Tony Martin and time trials what Alberto Contador is to Andy Schleck and the Tour de France? Discuss. 2. Seriously though, I thought I learned my lesson the first 3 times I bet against … Continue reading

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 12 Wrap-Up
Here’s the question of the day: was it worth it Alberto? In my humble opinion, yes and no. Yes, because Contador’s attack in the middle of the Cote de la Croix-Neuve, gapped Andy Schleck, earning Contador ten seconds, but more importantly sending a message to the Luxembourger wearing yellow: “I’m faster than you are.†On … Continue reading

2010 Tour de France – Stage 7 Wrap-Up & Virtual GC
I don’t know about you, but I certainly underestimated today’s stage. I had heard from several sources that the final climb wasn’t all too difficult, and with the Tour’s first high mountain stage tomorrow, I thought we might see a large group or breakaway fighting out the finish—the kind of day perfectly suited for someone … Continue reading

Monday Musette – Beloki, Blogs, Kites, and Kits
Following the long weekend, there’s a veritable cornucopia of things to enjoy! Let’s jump right in: 1. Here’s a great piece on the now legendary Armstrong-Across-Field/Beloki-Across-Asphalt moment from the 2003 Tour from the Freeman Transport blog. Selman’s last point is spot-on: rest assured that Armstrong already knows the profiles of the key stages as well … Continue reading
