The Mountains
Today we reach the mountains - normally, a veteran gregario like Jens Heppner would not be the one to wear the jersey to begin with, so doping has taken it's tolll on yet another bikerace. He's not a...

Of course, there is better news now.See cyclingnews.com and the stage 15 live report. Itr appears a rider is afcusing Casagrande of punching him.This could be very very good for Tyler.

Can't wait!Descending skills will be important tomorrow...6.5km downhill dash to the line!And snow!

Be careful Longo, answering questions with useful information is discouraged here. Furthermore, even suggesting that there are good Italian cycling doctors and trainers will doubtless land you a...

I see the potential battle being between Mr. Evans superiority in the mountains, versus Mr. Hamilton's strength against the watch.Both gentleman are terrific at both disciplines, but if Mr. Evans...

Ouch.... tomorrow will be terrible... today in Italy was snowing on Passo Fedaia (and of course on Passo Pordoi, even higher).Temperature is really low in these days, today in Padova we were under 10...

Pordoi? Gavia revisited?!?!Will Hamilton ride to the pink soon?!?I think with his shoulder he will have more trouble on the 20% gradients compared with Cadel Evans.Do we need to mention that with snow...

May the best man win?!?!My sentiments exactly, hombre.If there's a large time margin between the person leading the GC standings and the 2nd place rider at the end of the race, then I might call him...

Hombre...you'll remember the Italian "villain" was played by Eddy Va Guysse, a talented rider who became a very good race announcer. I met Eddy at the Milk Race, which he announced. I told Eddy that...

Breakin'...While you are correct on your observation of Hamilton's performance on the Campitello, we are a week later from that date which works for Hamilton because he needed some recuperation time....

A win by Tyler would absolutely be a legitimate GT win, certainly more legitimate than any sprint victory Cipo Dopey ever had. Certainly more legitimate than a Tour win by Pedro Delgado or a podium...

Too funny about us white men not being able to jump and the "villain" eating it up.What is the classic line from Breaking Away?..."Papa, I didn't know everyone cheated.Well, now you know!"The motto...

After today's stage, the podium is going to change considerably. Even more tomorrow.Working for others in the mountains isn't exactly the same as winning there.Winning a three week stagerace at the...

Many fine points all around:Yes, we'll see who can win the Giro now woithout Dopey, Cheatey, and Punchy!!I completely agree about Escartin. He had faded from the picture the past year or so but has...

Can't wait! 47km to go!It's a tough call.Evans said, "when's it gonna get hard?" No sign of cracking. He's no neo-pro.Hamilton, getting stronger every day. Hope he keeps it together on the downhills.

The revelation of this strange Giro is without a doubt Julio Perez Cupaio. This is the second stage he wins by attacking from a long way off, leaving in his wake Italy's best climbers (those who are...

Longo, there is nothing more exciting than a Colombian criterium.There are good reasons why they are few, and far between.I also can still hear the tell tale sounds of locking brakes, and bikes flying...

Paolo "il falco" Salvodelli indeed! Do you think he can hang on to it?
View ArticleRe: The Mountains
Savoldelli seems to be on his way up, not down.My question is, can Hamilton repeat his ride from the crono in Numana, in the final time trial, with two such days in his legs?
