Its been how long since Fabian has beaten the big guns in a major 40km+ TT? I think he's a bit past his prime in that discipline at least in regards to taking the hour record.

Lets not forget Tom Dumolin

Cyclingnews.com getting it wrong again. Calling the stem on Cav's bike an FSA when it's quite clearly a Zipp SL Sprint - it even has the model on it still to show!

I know they probably just got given a sponsor correct spec sheet and fed it into their gallery template without checking it but still, that's hilarious! How could anyone mistake that stem for anything else, let alone its polar design opposite :lol:

Any insights on when Specialized will make the S-Works Tarmac frameset available in the 2015 pro team paintjobs (especially the Tinkoff one)?

The new shoe colour scheme together with the Tinkoff frameset... :)
Get a bicycle. You will certainly not regret it, if you live.

I saw a mention to April for the new shoe colours, so maybe new frames too.

MyLaps timing chip. We use them at my club. Terrific accuracy.

I've had more than a few race results decided by less than a second, never a quibble on who the rightful winner was.

Is Horner the biggest and bestest rider in the US? Chris Horner seem to think so talking about the lack of TOC invite .... :D I wonder what negotiating a contract with him must have been like? :lol:

"I couldn’t believe it, I don’t know what the promoters are thinking. They’ve obviously done harm to the race by not bringing me. You left the only current rider with a grand-tour résumé who was going to show up, and I’m a past champion there.

I figured we were already in. Clearly they didn't have to bring us, because we're not a WorldTour team or anything like that. We needed the invite and it wasn't a sure thing, but when you're putting on one of the biggest races in the US, you'd think you'd want the biggest US rider to go, so I figured it was a given."

In the misery loves company category, cycling is not alone. http://espn.go.com/sports/endurance/story/_/id/12252671/boston-marathon-chicago-marathon-champ-rita-jeptoo-banned-2-years-dopingp Turns out, EPO is good for marathon runners too.
