The slide of Cadel Evans

May 29, 2014 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

Sadly, I’m not talking about a cool plastic chute affixed to the side of his houseboat. Cadel’s on the wane. Slowly, but perceptibly, he’s on the way out – in this race and from cycling….

Rigoberto’s hungry like the wolf

May 23, 2014 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

That’s a Duran Duran reference. You know, because his full name’s Rigoberto Uran Uran… Don’t scrutinise it. It doesn’t make sense. It’s enough to know that the Columbian rider won the time trial and therefore…

Stage eight was too difficult for Diego Ulissi

May 18, 2014 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

His words, not mine. I wouldn’t dream of describing it that way being as he won. A fast finisher, Ulissi is an even better climber than I thought he was, for this was a proper…

Cadel Evans stays upright

May 16, 2014 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

A weird, intriguing, but ultimately unsatisfying stage. Crashes late on separated the bunch, leading to significant time gaps and abandons. Half the peloton decking it isn’t the way you want to see the general classification…

The corrupted logic of the breakaway rider

January 23, 2014 · by Alex · in Stage races

Jens Voigt got in the break on stage three of the Tour Down Under. “I picked today’s stage to break away because nobody else did, but I knew that it was close to impossible to…

Vincenzo Nibali’s happiness (and the varied feelings of others)

May 26, 2013 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

It would be wrong to say that Vincenzo Nibali would have been happy at the bottom of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo climb at the end of stage 20. He was about to face 20km…

Vincenzo Nibali positively monsters the cronoscalata

May 23, 2013 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

There’s a headline you wouldn’t get on most websites. If you want a clear picture, get yourself a cronoscalata. What did today’s cronoscalata reveal? It revealed Vincenzo Nibali, then a big gap and then everyone…

Cadel v Cav

May 16, 2013 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

Apologies to the winner, Ramunas Navardauskas, but yesterday’s stage was a bit nothingy. There was a big break (not a Big Break – that would be unacceptable) and Navardauskas showed great strength to win from it,…

The Schlecks aren’t dead but what of Cadel Evans?

March 26, 2013 · by Alex · in Stage races

Cadel Evans won the 2011 Tour de France. Andy Schleck came second. Frank Schleck came third. That seems an awfully long time ago. None of these riders has had a particularly good time since and…

Cadel Evans goes out the back door

July 12, 2012 · by Alex · in Tour de France

I’ve always liked the back door. You go out the front door and you’re probably on your way to work, but go out the back door and there’s a good chance you’re going for a…
