Contenders for the time trial at the 2013 World Championships

September 25, 2013 · by Alex · in Classics and day races

It ain’t much of a spectator sport, but the world time trial promises great drama this year. This is because there are three major contenders, whereas time trials often seem to be more about whether…

How did Bradley Wiggins win the Tour of Britain?

September 23, 2013 · by Alex · in Stage races

The same way he always wins stage races. He rode steadily and conservatively on all the road stages and then smashed everyone to pieces in the time trial. Why break from a winning formula? And…

Bradley Wiggins makes nothing happen on Caerphilly Mountain

September 19, 2013 · by Alex · in Stage races

When you’re ahead in a stage race, you basically want nothing to happen. If nothing happens, you win. If something happens, you might not. Sometimes, it can take a hell of a lot of effort…

Bradley Wiggins wins a 10-mile time trial

September 17, 2013 · by Alex · in Stage races

Because road racing used to be banned in Britain, time trialling became a big thing because it allowed covert competition. Even though road racing has been legal for many years now, modern culture still reflects…

Zdenek Stybar keeps it clean at the Eneco Tour

August 18, 2013 · by Alex · in Stage races

If you don’t know the Eneco Tour, think of it as being the Tour de Benelux. It’s a spring classics style seven-stage race where the winner is invariably more humanoid looking than the Grand Tour…

Bradley Wiggins’ knee problem

May 31, 2013 · by Alex · in Tour de France

The somewhat tiresome media-fuelled battle for Sky team leadership at the Tour de France might have been resolved. Bradley Wiggins is apparently suffering from knee-knack and can’t train properly. You need knees as a cyclist….

In defence of the Sky mountain train

May 21, 2013 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

It was a rest day yesterday, which presents an opportunity to reflect on the race as a whole. I’d therefore like to offer a counterpoint to the prevailing view that Sky’s mountain train tactics are…

Cavendish wins, Wiggins doesn’t

May 17, 2013 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

It was less than a week ago that I tried to get us all to appreciate the near-inevitability of a Mark Cavendish sprint win. I don’t think I managed it and perhaps the measure of…

Uran Uran unleashed

May 14, 2013 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

It’s amazing the difference a double-D can make. I’m not being lecherous; I’m referring to woeful 80s posers Duran Duran. They were rubbish, but Team Sky’s Uran Uran is very good. He won stage 10…

Alex Dowsett wins Bradley Wiggins’ stage

May 12, 2013 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

This is the problem when you have your entire offensive centred on just one stage. If it doesn’t go enormously well, what do you do? Bradley Wiggins was expecting to at least go into the…
