Team Astana, including stars Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador, got preferential treatment when it came to drug testing, two leading French newspapers have reported (linked by Bicycle.net). This is part of an ongoing snit between the UCI, the international cycling governing body, and French anti-doping authorities over the rigorousness of dope testing during the Tour [...]

Well now Lance has himself in a pretty pickle. With the Tour of California moving to May to avoid the freezing wet of last April’s racing, Lance now has to decide between the Giro d’Italia and the Tour d’Cali. I’m sure his heart is in California but he has Team Radio Shack to think about, [...]

…but wishing I could be in two places at once, as long as the other one was Leadville Colo. Some quick links, then I gotta go RIDE! PinkBike has the rundown on the big Slopestyle course tomorrow. It may be tamer than last year, but that’s probably good. Too many crashes last year. Looking it [...]

You have to credit Lance Armstrong on one point: He doesn’t make excuses. Since declaring his shoulder a non-factor just a couple of weeks after “Home Depot” hardware surgery drilled and screwed and plated it together again, the subject has not even come back up. Watching videos of interviews and the Tour, however, I thought [...]

Lance Armstrong is now King of Colorado, sending a message to Dave Wiens re Saturday’s Leadville 100 joust. Lance is looking real strong, dusting the field at the Colorado state mountain bike championships in Snowmass. Wiens did not compete. There’s some simmering resentment that Lance, who has a house in Aspen but is from Austin [...]

Lance tweets his mountain bike but doesn’t tell us what make/model it is (maybe it’s proto!): “mtb is insane. First ride on the new SRAM XX as well. Hands down best shifting I’ve experienced on a mtb.” From the photo it looks to be a close cousin of the Top Fuel 9.8 frame, but obviously [...]

At a glance, it’s Lance. For his epic rematch of last year’s stirring mano-a-mano Leadville 100, Lance Armstrong appears loaded for bear. A full season of racing under his belt, including the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France (a twofer he’s never done before). Pretty much full recovery from his broken collarbone. A year of [...]

It was a small gesture, barely noticed. But when Lance Armstrong placed his left hand on Andy Schleck’s right shoulder and congratulated him “warmly” on the podium in Paris, it may have sent a signal about his machinations for the Tour de France in 2010. The bad blood between Lance and Alberto Contador means the [...]
