Half-decent time trial from Fabio Aru the most meaningful ride of the day

September 9, 2015 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

The threat of a time trial is a lot more interesting than the time trial itself. Beforehand, you can try and gauge riders’ fitness and fatigue while simultaneously weighing their size and power. You can…

Purito earns a stupid hat and a different jersey

September 7, 2015 · by Alex · in Vuelta a Espana

Stage 15 was notable for a rare sighting of the fabled Haimar Zubeldia, a man of such astonishing invisibility that he has five Tour de France top ten finishes to his name without anyone even…

Joaquim Rodriguez is again the fastest while attacks rain down on Chris Froome further back

July 17, 2015 · by Alex · in Tour de France

A second stage win for a popular rider following his victory atop the Mur de Huy. The question is, will it be enough to persuade Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen to learn how to pronounce…
