ANDREW HOOD PRE-RIDES THE MONACO TT WITH BOBBY JULICH - Thursday, July 02, 2009
Bobby Julich says fans and cyclists are in for a real treat come Saturday when the 15.5km individual time trial at Monaco opens the 96th Tour de France. The ex-pro — who retired after the 2008 season and now works with the Saxo Bank team as technical advisor, counseling his teammates on equipment and time trial preparation — says the Monaco time trial puts an exclamation mark on the front end of the Tour. “This is a fantastic course,” Julich told VeloNews earlier this year. ... read more
GARMIN MAKES LAST-MINUTE ROSTER CHANGE - Thursday, July 02, 2009
The Garmin-Slipstream team announced on Thursday that Martijn Maaskant will replace injured Irish rider Dan Martin on its Tour de France roster. Martin, who has been suffering from tendinitis in his knee, concluded that he would be unable to ride the upcoming three-week race, leaving a gap on the team's roster, which will now be filled with Maaskant. The team said that Martin had been working closely with Garmin's medical staff to resolve the issue but finally concluded that competing in ... read more
VINO' SAYS HE WILL BE ON ASTANA ... OR HEADS WILL ROLL - Thursday, July 02, 2009
Alexander Vinokourov said Wednesday he intends to ride for Astana later this year or there will be serious consequences for those who keep him from riding on the Kazakh-financed team. In a press conference held in Monaco in advance of Saturday’s Tour de France start, Vinokourov, whose suspension for homologous blood doping ends on July 24, said there’s no possibility that he would ride for any team other than the one he helped establish in 2006. Vinokourov assembled a coalition of ... read more
VELONEWS MAGAZINE OUTTAKES: ITALY'S SAN PATRIGNANO DRUG REHAB FACILITY - Thursday, July 02, 2009
Italy's San Patrignano drug rehabilitation facility sparks passion for frame building among recovering addicts. VeloNews' Lennard Zinn and Don Karle visited the facility this spring. To read Zinn's article, you'll have to pick up an August issue of VeloNews, available on newstands this week. Here we are sharing some of Karle's photos that would not fit in the magazine.
DESPITE DEKKER PROBLEM, EVANS REMAINS CONFIDENT - Thursday, July 02, 2009
Yellow jersey contender Cadel Evans remains upbeat despite the unwelcome news that his Silence-Lotto teammate Thomas Dekker has been ruled out of the Tour de France due to a positive doping control. Dekker, a two-time Dutch champion, was set to help Evans in this year's July 4-26 race but found out Wednesday that a sample from December 2007, kept for later re-testing, had tested positive for the banned blood-booster EPO. On paper it disrupts the plans of Evans, a runner-up the past two ... read more
A SUNSHINE COAST ADVENTURE - Thursday, July 02, 2009
It seemed fitting that Wednesday's fourth stage of the 2009 BC Bike Race fell on Canada Day, as Stage 4 exposed the 400 or so racers to more of Canada than any day other of this year’s race. Riders awoke at 4:30 a.m. at the tent village in Cumberland, a teeny single-stoplight town on Vancouver Island and then boarded busses for the town of Little River. An hour long ferry ride took riders across the Georgia Strait to mainland British Columbia, where riders again boarded busses, this time ... read more
CAV’S FIRST CHANCE - Wednesday, July 01, 2009
Long before he was winning Tour de France stages, Mark Cavendish was formed into a professional cyclist by British Cycling’s Rod Ellingworth. As research for the current cover story on Cavendish, VeloNews interviewed Ellingworth. Mark Cavendish credits British Cycling coach Rod Ellingworth with kick-starting his career. Ellingworth created an innovative youth cycling program in 2004 to nurture under-23 talent into the stars of the future. Cavendish, who wouldn’t have been selected ... read more
PRO COFFEE COMPARISON: TASTE-TESTING BREW MARKETING TO (AND BY) CYCLISTS - Wednesday, July 01, 2009
Last month, the VeloNews staff (which contains several former coffee shop employees and many who set up residence in one or another of Boulder's many shops), held what’s known in the coffee world as a cupping at Saxy's Café in Boulder. The crew invited a handful of local pro racers plus two experts from the Coffee Syndicate roasting company. The full story appears in the August issue of VeloNews, but we couldn't fit all the data in the magazine, so we present detailed results here. We ... read more
