Yes, we are on the eve of the Queen of the Classics, and instead of bashing FoxNews some more, I’ll move onto cycling for today (I see that the J-man took up my FoxNews bashing anyway, so I digress).
It’s throwdown time at Paris-Roubaix. Here’s who I’ve got one on my list for possible favorites [...]
PR comments…
More on Fontana
There’s that girl again somewhere in this vid…
Fontana saw 120 pro’s nevermind that they FINALLY consolidated the classes, as well as remodeled the naming system to be inline with road racing; cat 1, cat 2, cat 3… Who ever is in charge now, thank you very much for progressing. It’s been a long time coming.
What [...]
Keller on Point.
Local doo-gooders the MBAA hosted the Prescott race over the weekend. Nevermind that it snowed (again) on Friday in Phlagstaff yet the racing season here in AZ is almost over, it was good to see the old man Keller put the wood to the pro race. 5 laps of bmx/moto style racing. The only course [...]
Flanders, frites, and beer…
As we all know, yesterday was the Tour of Flanders, like Mr. J I turned off the phone, didn’t read the internets and their series of tubes, and basically ignored all media until the race started at 5PM on OLN (I refuse to call is VS). I was NOT disappointed in the result, that much [...]
Hellingen and back again
Not only does VDB have a posse (see: here), but he also has an honest to goodness win under his belt as well. Not so sure about the whole honest part, but whatever. Equal weapons, equal wins. Kinda makes me wish ‘ol Lance would man up and quit lyin’.
The 34-year-old Vandenbroucke [...]
Flanders Fever
I’m digging through the Flanders start list (yeah, I’m that fucking bored in Torts lecture) and whom do I see under Landbouwkrediet-Colnago?
None other than Filip Meirhaege. Yeah, that Merihaege.
Think he’ll make it past the first feed zone?
My pick? Boom Boom Boonen!
Man, I miss me some racing
Rich Weis rolls past the action at the Fontana MTB US Cup 2009 held last weekend.
That’s what I’m talk’n bout.
Tour of Flanders Cometh

RBC in the books
Just got back from Redlands where the RideClean Team pinned up and suffered alongside 197 of their closest friends. Only 105 finishers mind you as Jonny’s buddy Jeff Louder spanked all comers. That was hard as shit…all I did was drive the car and I’m spent.
Below — in the start house [...]
You say Potato, I say Pozatto
God damn it’s coming like a freight train.
Filippo Pozzato succeeded Saturday in Harelbeke, Belgium. The Italian of Team Katusha pulled off a strong sprint win over the race’s number one favourite after 208 kilometres of racing in the E3 Prijs. It was his first win in over a year and a sign of [...]
Domo arigato, Pippo Pozatto…
“Would you describe, in your own words, what happened?”
“Bro… was ON! Didn’t trip. But the folks was freakin’, Man. Hey, and the pilots were laid to the bone, Holmes.”
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
BWAHAAHaahahahaha…
After breaking his right collarbone Monday during a race in Spain, Lance Armstrong now faces his first serious obstacle since his return to professional cycling: whether he can recover fast enough to compete in two of the sport’s most prestigious events. Read more.
I personally don’t give a shit. American coverage is crap, as witnessed by [...]
Mark Cavendish has arrived
Cavendish is the goods. Full stop. Holy shit. I knew he was bringing a truck load of talent, but I didn’t know if he could pull out San Remo. And fuck if he didn’t uncork a beauty!
I see plenty of big wins in this kid’s future this year. Too early [...]
Susitna 100
We’re getting one of those end of the season snow falls up here in Flagstaff. In light of that, a friend bounced this vid over the interwebz to me and the other az mtb heads. Such an obscure thing to race in the middle of snow. I prefer to use that time to shut down [...]
team update
Over the last few weeks the RideClean Team has posted a couple nice early season results. It started with Rocket Ron busting out a “W” in the Flapjack TT, continued with J-Rod getting a nice 2nd at McDowell, and the following week my man The Flying Scholnick climbed on the podium in the Cat [...]
Deez Nuts
These nuts weigh a ton, son!
A little talkie about some doie
Here’s a race report for all you racer-brah-spandex-junkies, or just anybody who likes to ride their bikes with a zillion other funny wierdos. And besides, it all started here, at DC HQ, when i rode as “Drunkcyclist 2″ at the 24HITOP. Before then i was just a happy-as-a-clam XC rider. I hold you all responsible. [...]
I went to a party, and a 24 hour race broke out
I’m still amazed with this az gig. This marked the tenth year the Old Pueblo has been in existence, and it was smooth as ever. Sadow and the Epic crew absolutely know how to have a good time. This year, I did not race, and in fact, only rode one lap on Saturday afternoon, and [...]
Fun in the sun
The Valley of the Sun stage race is in the books. And it actually approached fun there for a minute… don’t get me wrong…the OP it is not, but it had it’s moments. Anytime you are pinning a number on a jersey that looks like this:
…it can’t be all bad.
Or, if you [...]
24 O.P.
Looks like one’s all sewn up down in the desert. The “real time” results are just about set in concrete and finalized now: www.epicrides.com/…24results_live.
I expect the tales will start flowing in shortly.
