2012 Tour de France

No one can beat cav in a straight up sprint.

Sagan didn't have much of a lead out. I'd love to see those 2 straight up. The missile would probably win, but even you have to admit Sagan did better than people thought he would after the California race...
And no way Cavendish is on sky next year.

I'll bet you a delicious beer of your choice he stays. They're on a real one-for-all high right now. Remember who his third guy in the lead-out was. And those weird shots of Cav at the front of the pack, going uphill in the Pyrenees? This from the king of the Laughing Group? He went all team-y for Wiggo. Payback: Sky is gonna destroy themselves to get Cav across the line first in the Olympic Road Race.

Those are very, very expensive bottles.

In case anyone's got a few minutes to burn and want to see inside Brailsford's brain, here's a NYTimes article on the British Cycling braintrust. It focuses on track cycling, but seeing as the guy who runs that phenomenal program ALSO runs Sky...

No doubt Sagan is amazing, but he had the whole sky train to lead him out too.

What a lame showing for Farrar, he wasn't even up front in any of the sprints. Weak.

He's had a shit year. AND he crashed 4 times during the tour. The last one was the big Lab that took Phil Gil down too. Guy's got no luck at all in 2012. At least we were spared those Transition Lense commercials this year.

Anyone find a link to the Olympic road race and TT schedule? Will it make it on TV?

Not sure yet about the schedule, but the whole shooting match is gonna be streamed live as well as broadcast. Apparently the mandate this year is blanket the spectrum with Olympics.

I watched the Tour and Olympics as much as my family would let me.What bugs me is the lack of information about the bikes.Like what brand of bike riders use,tires ,gears,shifters ,air pressure ,pedals etc.What gives?Also I guess with all the flats they can"t go tubless or may they?
