Update: A bit of a letdown that Schleck never made a move…or anyone else for that matter. If the pack continues to let Astana dictate the race it will be another boring Lance ride to Paris (conceding that Alberto will take Yellow). The Tour hits the mountains tomorrow, and Lance is serving notice that Contador [...]

New York Times: Germany’s new cycling star hopes to put Germany’s doping troubles behind Germany. The question being: Since when are doping problems restricted or disproportionate to Germany? Statistically, does Germany even surpass other countries in doping problems? As a friend put it recently, doping in pro cycling is big news as long as it [...]

The cycling world was poised for Lance Armstrong to return to the yellow jersey after a 4-year hiatus today, but he missed by .18 of a second. You have to wonder if Alberto Contador didn’t quite give 100 percent, knowing a TT win would put Lance in the center of the cycling universe. Lance and [...]

Twitter is all a-tweet with carping about Lance’s move today in the Tour. Lance rode off with a breakaway that opened a nearly 40-second gap on the peloton, which included most of the favorites. Good old Lance, you can always count on him to do the right thing in the clutch! Lance of course is [...]

This Day in Doping: Lance Armstrong will be “particularly monitored” for doping violations throughout the Tour. Not that monitoring “particularly works,” given the rampant abuses, but the UCI wants to at least keep up appearances. The “particularly monitored” Tom Boonen was kicked out of this year’s tour for cocaine use, then reinstated. (Rightly so, since [...]

This Day in Drugs: Thomas Dekker is out of the Tour for doping…in 2007! Think the UCI honchos are trying to send a message here? Wonder how many of Lance’s old samples they have lying around, waiting for some new technology to analyze? BC Bike Race, Day 3: Morons are removing course flags to screw [...]

Velo News interview. Lance is still talking like he could win. He’s “not confident” like he was for 6 and 7, he admits. But he’s not willing to say he’ll lay down for Contador. “The road will decide.” Watch the video and compare his right shoulder (the injured one) with his left. The guy does [...]

Bummed to be missing the Fluidride Cup at Mt. Hood OR this weekend. Also bummed that I can’t be in B.C. for the start of the fabled, the legendary, the epic, the agonistic and ecstatic BC Bike Race today. And thirdly bummed that it’s so friggin’ hot out here in NorCal that this pobo can’t [...]

Just the kind of thing we all worry about: A bike rack failure on a bus going 60 mph. Cyclelicio.us dodged the bullet this time, but as we in the Seattle area know, the Sportworks racks have their “issues.” Los Angeles had a bike license fee, then rescinded it. Now they’re talking reconstituting it. Confusion [...]

Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong Challenge hits Seattle on Sunday. Ride or not, you can help make a difference!

First person, albeit pseudonymous, report on the World Naked Bike Ride in Portland, from Seattle’s [...]
