Piepoli was pretty much a given as well.

well, not that particular schleck.

when they stopped schleck pere in july i figured that there had been a tip-off from the vampires regarding abnormal values of some kind.

three months pass...

US National Team member Taylor Phinney shattered the American national record in the men's 4,000m individual pursuit on Friday at the UCI Track World Cup in Denmark. Phinney, clocked a time of 4:15.223 in the qualifying round, surpassing the previous mark of 4:19.800 set by Mariano Friedick in 1996.

Currently, the Olympic record stands at 4:15.031, set by Great Britain's Bradley Wiggins last year in Beijing, while the world record is 4:11.114 – a mark set by Great Britain's Chris Boardman in 1996 using an aerodynamic position now banned by the UCI.

how good will he be

A year ago, the kid didn't know the individual pursuit from Trivial Pursuit. But Connie explained it to him -- she's a former world champion in the discipline -- and he decided to give it a whirl. He won the U.S. national championship. In his first race. His fourth race was a World Cup event in Carson, Calif. He won. He qualified for the Olympics, then set a junior world record in the 3,000-meter pursuit.

A double whammy from Eurosports: Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico. Contador was amazingly destroyed today on the final climb - dropped from the break and then caught and dropped by the bunch.

;_; (that this yank has no eurosport)

good on Contador for attacking on the last stage. he must have been ruined.

Cavendish has won the Milan-San Remo!

Teh Movable Object (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 21 March 2009 15:38 (fifteen years ago) link

That was so exciting. I didn't think he'd have a chance. I started watching it live on Eurosport as they approached the Cipressa and was surprised to find he was still there. Then it all got a bit split up and he was still in the front bunch of about 60 with Hincapie for company. Then it stayed together on the Poggio despite a couple of little digs and he was nicely placed in about 10th spot as they came into the town. Haussler shot off the front in the sprint and looked to have it sewn up but Cavendish put in a phenomenal burst and took him right on the line (both well clear of the pack). I was jumping up and down shouting 'yes!', while the idiot Eurosport commentators were calling it for Haussler (even though Cavendish was celebrating and Haussler was lying abject on the ground).

Is it just me, or does Haussler appear to be twice the size of Cavendish in this photo?

"Kohl also admitted to having been a customer of Humanplasma, a Vienna blood bank."
