But come on US-powers-that-be, it's mindset! We have great and committed athletes, but they need support and encouragement, not bosses who say we're never going to get there. Look at Daniel Holloway and Shelley Ol… Continue

Breck Epic’s fifth day serves up high altitude suffering

Gasps for air and the occasional clank of mountain bikes were the only sounds heard during the 45-minute hike-a-bike up the final pitch of the Wheeler Loop to the top of Breckenridge ski area. The steep section of the Colorado Trail, which on Thursday hosted the fifth stage of the inaugural Breck Epic stage race, soared from tree line to 12,400 feet. The trail was too narrow and steep for most riders to pedal, so they queued up to push their bikes. And in the thin Colorado air, deep ...

Evans reveals good form with aggresive riding into Barcelona

A soaked but otherwise happy Cadel Evans indicated he is ready to meet his Tour de France rivals head on when the race heads for its first summit finish in the Pyrenees on Friday. However Australia's two-time runner-up faces a bigger test than the slippery roads which led the peloton from Girona to Barcelona on Thursday, on which compatriot Michael Rogers almost saw his Tour end prematurely. Evans had joined the frontrunners in pursuit of Garmin-Slipstream's David Millar, who was caught ...

Saxo's Sorensen pumps out big watts in stage 5's crosswinds

Stage 5 of the Tour de France was another seaside route along the French coast with brutal crosswinds. However, unlike stage 3, Team Saxo Bank and Chris Anker Sorensen were prepared and present at the front of the race when it counted. The final 50 miles of the stage were raced at full throttle and Chris set new personal-best Tour de France power records to prove it.  Memories of stage 3’s carnage caused by the wind and Team Columbia was still fresh in everyone’s mind. Team Saxo ...

Tour of Missouri in peril as state faces budget cuts

As part of a $430 million budget-reduction plan, the State of Missouri has frozen $1.5 million slated for the Sept. 7-13 Tour of Missouri. Race officials were notified Thursday of the financial situation, which if not remedied would cancel this year’s event. “We are very surprised and shocked that this has happened,” said Chris Aronholt, managing partner of Medalist Sports, which runs the Tour of Missouri. “We have a signed contract. This is the third year of a three-year ...

Columbia's Tony Martin will face a mountain battle to retain his white jersey

Germany's Tony Martin is hoping toemulate compatriot Jan Ullrich by wearing the Tour de France's white jersey all the way to Paris as he prepares to defend it through the Pyrenees this weekend. The 24-year-old Columbia rider has held the prize for the best placed U25 rider since the end of Monday's third stage, and finished Thursday's 181.5km race into Barcelona with the shirt still on his back. Martin, whose parents fled Hungary in 1989 after the fall of the Iron Curtain and settled in ...
