2007-07-29 07:29  Tour de France 2007: Michael Boogerd and Thomas Dekker keep going despite scandal
Among the most impressive performances in the Tour this year are those of Michael Boogerd and Thomas Dekker of the Rabobank team. Boogerd and Dekker rode hard and fast for three weeks to help teammate and former yellow jersey holder, Michael Rasmussen. Alas, just as victory seemed within the grasp of the Rabo team, Rasmussen was fired by the team manager for allegedly lying about his whereabouts in June (pre-Tour training). On the night that Rasmussen was sent away, team members got together and …

2007-07-26 18:01  STAGE 17 - THE LAST LEG BEGINS
THERAPEUTIC RIDE. It seemed like the riding today started like the sidebar--not the main thing, but the thing you just needed to do. As the peloton got underway and rode awhile, Stage 17 seemed more like something therapeutic the cyclists needed to do to clear their heads and search their hearts, something the support staff, directors, sponsors, broadcasters, the press, and fans needed just to have happen without incident or revelation. CYCLING IS PARTLY SPIRITUAL. This is one reason I ride--to …

2007-07-26 11:31  Stage 17: Pau to Castelsarrasin
Velonews has already answered the first question of the day, for those of us tuning in online: "There will be no yellow jersey worn in today's stage, although there will be a jersey awarded on the podium in Castelsarrasin. Rasmussen 's teammates - the guys who rode their hearts out for the guy - are staying in the Tour." So Rabobank is still in, and there should have been 142 starters if there were no other DNSs in the morning. I feel badly for the teammates - I wish they could pull off somethin …

2007-07-19 22:20  TDF - Cadel Watch Stage 11
The Stage The Tour has reached the Mediterrenean and the city of Marseille is the starting point for the 11th stage of the race. Another flat stage lies ahead for the field of 171 remaining riders with a distance of 182.5 km to be covered. There's only a category 4 bump at the 38km mark and this won't bother anyone. It all depends on how seriously the peloton wants to cover any breakaway, but I suspect we're going to see another day for the opportunists. The Highlights There were plenty of attem …

2007-07-19 21:33  HOW THE TWO INDIVIDUAL TIME TRIALS WILL CHANGE THIS RACE
HOW WILL THE ITT's IMPACT I was wondering... with times among the top 8 contenders for the Yellow Jersey within four minutes of each other after 11 stages AND with two big Individual Time Trials coming up (this Saturday - Stage 13 and next Saturday - Stage 19), what difference might these ITT's make in the GC HOW THEY FARED IN 2006. So, I just did a bit of checking on how the current contenders fared in last year's two Individual Time Trials. Last year's ITT's were 52 km and 54 km rides. Combini …

2007-07-18 13:54  TDF - Cadel Watch Stage 10
After the action of the Alps, I'm expecting things to settle down for the first transitional stage, the 10th stage, with the most likely scenario being some sort of break away succeeding. I wouldn't expect much, if any, change in the GC contenders during the day's stage. The Stage Beginning at Tallard, the course is a 229km journey over fairly flat terrain with a couple of 4th category climbs and a couple of 3rd category climbs before reaching Marseille. It's the kind of route that will be a rel …

2007-07-17 15:06  TDF - Cadel Watch Stage 9
Well, I've been able to get a decent night's sleep thanks to a much needed rest day - it was nice of the TDF organisers to think of the viewers in far-flung locations. I have absorbed the shock of Mick Rogers and Stuart O'Grady crashing out and have filled my mind with positive thoughts over Cadel Evans' chances over the next couple of weeks. It's time to bring on Stage 9. The Stage The final day in the Alps begins at Val d'Isere and the riders are immediately confronted with a Hors Categorie cl …

2007-07-15 21:10  Tour de France Bob Roll Michael Rasmussen Stage 8
OK, I admit it. I am addicted to the Tour. Today's race was incredible. The winner was Michael RASMUSSEN from Team Rabobank. He just blew the field away today in the Alps. The big name riders were minutes behind. But after tomorrows rest the race will resume with Stage 9 Val-d Isère - Briançon in the REAL mountains. The stage starts with a 15 km climb at 6% gradient to the top of the Col de l'iseran which is the high point of the 2007 Tour de France at 2770m. Two well known climbs are next as th …

2007-07-15 11:45  TDF - Cadel Watch Stage 8
The Stage Well the 8th stage promises to be a brutal one with a distance of 165km from LeGrand-Bornand to the ski town of Tignes. But it's not the horizontal profile that's the killer, it's the vertical with 3 category 1 climbs - Cormet de Roseland (19.9km @ 6%), Montee d Hauteville (15.3km @ 4.7%) and Montee de Tignes (18km @ 5.4%). Yikes the legs are trembling just thinking about it. Chuck in a Cat 2, 3 and 4 for good measure and we should get a good shaking out from this stage leading into to …

2007-07-14 12:45  TDF - Cadel Watch Stage 7
It's Bastille Day and the first day in the Alps, although it's expected to be more of a feeling out day than a make or break defining stage of the Tour. The course for the stage includes just the one Category 1 climb over the Col de la Columbiere which comes around 14km from the end of the 197.5km stage. The Highlights As pretty much expected an early breakaway was made with a group of 15 riders (probably a little bigger than would normally be comfortable) getting as much as 8'10'' in front. The …

At 200km long they took off from Semur-en-Auxois, travelled through the Burgundy region and finished at Bourg-en-Bresse which is situated between Lyon and Geneva at the foothills of the Alps. The Highlights So, with 3 tortuous days through the Alps ahead of you, what would be the single most suicidal thing to try Hmmm, perhaps a lone breaka …

It was not a surprise that Eric Zabel was there, or Oscar Freire. But where's the Aussie who usually thrives in such a chaotic, 50-mph charge to the line The answer may be in injuries suffered during Stage 1. We'll see. BOONEN IN GREEN...AGAIN.

Filippo Pozzato was as good as his word Thursday. The Liquigas classics specialist, winner at Milan-San Remo in 2006, told CyclingNews that Stage 5 was right for him, and he followed through with a magnificent sprint through a select group of power riders that survived over a hilly course. Sylvain Chavanel of Cofidis built a healthy lead in the King of the Mountains competition by leading the race over 7 of the day's 8 climbs, in a break with FdJeux's Philippe Gilbert, Credit Agricole's William …

So it's not food, but, how often can you say that the Tour de France came through your village During its lifetime, it has only crossed the channel three times and two of those have been through the town/village where we live. Last time was 1994, we were living in a small Hampshire town when the Tour flew through. This weekend saw a return to England and it came through our village in Kent. There was a wonderful atmosphere and even though the cyclists, 189 of them, had been and gone in a matter …
