This guy takes a hit like Lance Armstrong’s career.
Tyler Hamilton on 60 Minutes
Boom goes the dynamite. Lance Armstrong just got eviscerated by 60 Minutes. We already know that former teammate Tyler Hamilton said that he saw Armstrong take EPO, testosterone, and a blood transfusion during the Tour de France. CBS also says that George Hincapie told a grand jury that he saw it too. But the most [...]
Igor Antón on the Zoncolan
2011 Giro d’Italia, Stage 14. Yes, it was yesterday. I’ve been busy. And, I haven’t seen a video of today’s action online yet. I’m sure it will be available a mere 10 minutes after I type this. We’re a day late and a dollar short around these parts. The 28-year-old Basque climber rode up the [...]
Omloop Het Volk 2007
The heartbreak. The triumph. The anguish. The glory. The Spring Classics. I needed some stoke this morning. And this worked out just fine. Get some.
Freddy Maertens – Omloop het Volk 1978
Baller. These dudes were thud squad.
Inspiration All Around
The alarm went off at 4:30am yesterday and I fumbled my way to the tea kettle to press myself a nice strong cup of coffee. I wasn’t up this early go to work, or even to ride. I was branching out and heading down to the town lake to watch some friends compete in a triathlon. [...]
Johan Museeuw
Johan Museeuw took the Ronde van Vlaanderen three times in his career; 1993, 1995, and 1998. Doing it once is the stuff of legend. Three is the mark of a very hard man indeed. 1998 – Tour of Flanders Dude was a Baller.
2005 Giro d’Italia, Stage 19
Ah yes, the Giro. With all its wonderful fireworks, trials, tribulations, glory and anguish. This was the exciting race to watch when we endured the rather boring years of Juan Pelota’s dominance in the Tour. Yeah, I said it. And it starts next week. Check this: http://www.steephill.tv/giro-d-italia/. A little bit of glory from years past.
Freddy Maertens
Freddy Maertens was a baller. Full stop. Freddy Maertens – Gent Wevelgem
Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2011 – Côte de Saint Nicolas
This might be the best I find tonight. Last 8k and Côte de Saint Nicolas. Boom goes the dynamite.
Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2011
Philippe Gilbert doesn’t have nerves of steel. Steel is nervous about Philippe Gilbert. Image source: http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/04/news/unbeatable-philippe-gilbert-takes-liege-bastongne-liege_169905. There’s just no stopping the guy … even when he’s outnumbered two-to-one. Philippe Gilbert (Omega Pharma-Lotto) capped off an impressive sweep of the Ardennes classics Sunday, easily out-sprinting the Leopard-Trek brother act of Fränk and Andy Schleck at the [...]
It’s been a rough couple of weeks.
I was off my bike for a full week because I fell, not off my bike, but trying to hop out of my car over a puddle of water. I slammed my kneecap on the cement pretty good. That shit was painful! My knee is definitely on the mend and I can actually see the [...]
