I love cycling and everything about it. Doesn't everything in life revolve around the bike?

I can't help but think that Lance Armstrong's decision to give up the fight is all part of his master plan to take down…
I may not know much about track cycling, but it's hard not to take notice and get excited when Anna Meares takes the track. Early…
There has been a lot of talk about how quiet Cadel Evans has been thus far in the 2012 Tour de France, but he…
With all the talk being on so many different riders this year, it’s refreshing to hear about someone like Froome and his chances of winning. Great post, Chris….let’s see what he can do with the remaining two and a half weeks.
Froome could win this Tour de France
It’s looking like an interesting finish. Great coverage as always, Vitaly.

It’s really cool to see what the riders and insiders are saying on Twitter. Thanks for collecting it all and putting it in one place for us to enjoy.

That’s a great breakdown of the final section of the sprint. Thanks for going through it and putting together this post.

I’m with you, Tim. Not sure about the helmet thing and why they thought they needed to do it.
Sensory overload as the Tour catches yellow fever
I can never get tired of watching Cav sprint to the line….even though we’ve all seen it happen so many times. How many more do you think he has in him this Tour?

Awesome….this is such a cool and unique way to see what’s happening during the tour from an insiders perspective. I can’t wait to see more.
Tour de France Twitter wrap: Prologue
Interesting take on all this. It’s always a challenge to manage superstars that are on the same team. It’s just one more thing that Sky has to calculate into the mix this year.
Are Sky already a team divided?
Yes, the Australians are sure starting to let themselves be knows at the Tour de France. Nice post, Joe.
Tour de France 2012: The Ashes on Wheels
Early on in last year’s Tour my wife picked Cadel as the winner. She didn’t even know he was someone with a chance of winning, but that was her pick. She says he’ll do it again this year, so it looks like you both have the same idea. I think this year’s winner could be about one of 5 different people, but Cadel is definitely one of them. As for your other jersey picks….they look pretty good to me, although I would like to see Cav take the Green….just not sure he’ll finish or have his head totally in the game with the Olympics so close behind.
Jersey winners: 2012 Le Tour de France
I saw a tweet today from Lance that said he just wants to keep on leading Livestrong, raise his kids, and stay fit.
I refuse to be distracted by @usantidoping's antics. It's 2012, I'm gonna continue to lead @LIVESTRONG, raise my 5 kids, and stay fit!

I say we should just let him do his things and enough with all these past allegations already. The guys been tested and analyzed more than any cyclist should need to go through.
Armstrong shrugs off doping allegations
Great overview of what happening in the prologue and what’s to come in Stage 1. I’m looking forward to seeing your daily review of each stage of the Tour.
Cancellara shows he is still the man to beat
So what do you all think is running through Cadel’s head right now as we sit just hours away from this year’s Tour de France?
Let the Tour begin.
Tour near-misses motivate Cadel
Yes, it is the question of the hour isn’t it? But it’s time for the hype to simmer down and to let the goodness unfold. One thing is for sure…July is going to be a great month for cycling fans like us.
Who will win the 2012 Tour de France?
Hey guys, maybe we should be selecting the team….hahahaha. Nice insight and comments on this team selection.
Australian Olympic team drowning in a sea of riches
This will be the first year I’ve followed the Tour closely during an Olympic year so I’m not sure if it’s always the case…but sure seems to be a lot of questions and speculation around it all. I like that you mentioned the “conspiracy theory” idea as I’ve heard a few of them and wondering what to make of it all.
Great article with keen insight. One thing is for sure…we’re in for some great cycling over the coming weeks.
Australian Olympic team drowning in a sea of riches
I’m not so good with predictions, but your choice of Tom Boonen for Gold sounds good to me.
Renshaw the odd man out in Australia's cycling team
I think Cadel has a very good chance of defending, but I really think this year there are so many people who have a legitimate shot at it. LIke we all know, things can happen during the tour that totally throw everything out the window so it really comes down to who plays things right and gets a few lucky breaks along the way. I’m rooting for Cadel or Ryder this year.
Cadel can defend Tour title: Anderson
I’ll just say ditto to what Bones had to say. Feel the same way. Great post, Felix.
Key ingredients all there for another Evans triumph
Hahaha, thanks for including that sushi video. Great interview with Baden and nice to see the personal side of these riders as always.
GreenEDGEFans interview Baden Cooke
This is definitely one of the hot topics for this race season and the Tour de France. I may be wrong, but I’m of the opinion that Cav can hammer it out and get the green at this years Tour and then also take Gold in the Olympics road race as well. Nice post, Kit.
Team Sky's 'balancing act' is manageable
It is an interesting sport that we are all passionate about, isn’t it? There always seems to be rumour out there, and this is definitely another big one to watch. Thanks for putting this together and let’s watch and see what happens.
There are rumours afoot in cycling circles
Nice post and analysis. It likely is going to be a balancing act and the Sky team has a lot of strategizing to do before the start and once the Tour kicks off. I heard rumours that Cav would bail out of the Giro early as well, so I think you’re right about it not happening in the Tour either.
Green vs Yellow: Sky's precarious balancing act
I read one article about Cadel being listed as one of the top pro cyclists of all time and his inclusion on the list was attacked by many. Cadel has proved himself on a mountain bike, the road bike, and TT. He can climb, sprint, TT, ride classics, take part in breaks, descend, and he can fight in the overall without even having help from a team. A cyclists like that who can ride throughout the year with amazing spirit should definitely gain respect.
Why Cadel needs to be shown a little more R-E-S-P-E-C-T
What a wonderful piece, Rachel. I agree with you 100% and will celebrate the win no matter who crosses the finish line in Yellow. We are all cyclists and we are all champions. Well done.
Stop calling the 2012 Tour de France 'The Ashes'
