Tour de France Rest Day Report #2

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:54:00 +1900

Now the Tour really starts. After two weeks of cat-and-mouse games in the flat stages and the Pyrenees, we're down to 6 riders with a shot at the yellow jersey. The time in between the rest days was mostly for the sprinters, but yesterday's first Alpine stage set the tone for the week to come. I think everyone expected to see the field separate a little bit after Stage 15 yesterday, with a ...

Stage 16: You Can't Spell 'Alpine' Without 'Pain'

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 03:26:00 +1900

Spencer Hall is keeping tabs on the Tour de France so you don't have to. Feel free to wear bike shorts while reading this, however. Just don't send pictures. Stage 16? Aren't we in the mountains now? Oh, firmly, meaning the sprinters dominating the early stages are at best holding onto dear life, or like four stage winner Mark Cavendish, just dropping out altogether and prepping for ...

WADA traps Tour de France drug cheats with stealth EPO molecule

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:00:00 +1900

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh, WADA is lips sealed on this, but leaks say that Tour de France drug cheat Ricardo Ricco fell to a stealth drug attach by WADA and the drug manufacturer. The new EPO preparation -- CERA -- appears to have a trojan horse embedded somewhere than can be detected in labs. And WADA isn't telling -- and we bet lawyers will be suing. The Sydney Morning News is ...

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:44:38 +1900

THE TOUR DE FARCE

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:37:00 +1900

Like most things in France, the tour itself is starting to stink. I don't follow Cycling with any modicum of interest and frankly, I probably never will. But every time the Tour De France comes about, about 10 riders get busted for EPO. Questions are repeatedly asked about past winners. In fact, Floyd Landis just recently lost his appeal for his fake win in 2006. And now today, an entire ...
