Not sure what you have against Garmin, but pulling off wins with smart, strong rides isn't actually out of character for them. They've got at least one stage win at the Tour for four consecutive...

Not sure what's iffy about Nibali's past; he has a history of being strongly opinionated about doping and dopers. Doesn't mean it can't be all a cynical self-defense strategy, but he doesn't have any...

Alas, without an Hinaultish palmares, especially in the one-day races. The way Nibali has raced in this Tour has absolutely made me a fan. I was more neutral on him before, but from Stage 2 he's been...

Everything I've seen so far has been between 5.8 and 5.9 w/kg, today something like 6.07. Froome had higher power estimates last year. Doesn't mean it's necessarily clean, but if there have been...

LOL at yourself. Both of these guys have been top-3 at the Dauphine, one of them having actually won the damn thing, remember? It was only a month ago. And both have been top-10 at the TdF, Talansky...

I think TVG's main tactical weakness is a tendency to go out too hard, too early. That's what cost him the Alpe d'Huez stage last year. And there have been a few time trials where he put down a...

The guy is 24, has won something like 13 races this year, including a Strade Bianchi where he made Sagan look like a Cat 3. This year alone, he finished on the podium at the Tour of the Basque...

I don't much care for the chivalry nonsense. It's bike racing. Staying on your bike is kind of on you. And those supposed unwritten rules have never been set in stone. I'm bummed for Contador, of...

Sky puts a lot of effort into their message that everything that happens is All Part of the Grand Design and that they have that much mastery of tactics and minutia - oh, and Marginal Gains (TM) -...

Because bike racing. C'mon. Why did Froome take 6th on stage 1?

I strongly disagree that it was about luck. Bike racing is about skill, not just power, and the guys at the front of the race were riding skillfully. Respectfully, I think your reaction may have more...

Nibali and Astana raced from the front. Like you're supposed to. Hats off to them, Nibali earned every second of time he gained over the rest of the GC contenders.

I thought Wiggins showed he deserved a place on the team, as far as his form goes, but he wouldn't have been much help for Froome today and would not have been a realistic contender for the GC in...

Froome didn't miss out on the yellow jersey cause he didn't want it. No way he was going to win today. Awesome stage, though. I like what I'm seeing so far.
