The Tour down Under 2013 (TDU) was a fantastic event and has come so far since starting 15 years ago. It was amazing to…
For a lot of us, cycling and running used to be fairly independent things. We’d train, enjoy the pedalling or running, and if we…
A number of weeks ago I began writing an article on the popularity and rapid growth of cycling worldwide. Then the Lance saga struck.…
The Tashkent Terror, havent heard his name for a while – he was a pretty amazing sprinter and that would make a pretty amazing team although I think the egos may be an issue!
It could be a good idea having a single day to show off another part of Australia and show the TDU to wider audiences. Adelaide was pretty amazing during the tour, but it would be good to share the event a little.
As for the world tour points table It has given Slatger a good jump in too – http://www.uciworldtour.com/templates/BUILTIN-NOFRAMES/Template3/layout.asp?MenuId=MTY3Mzc&LangId=1
The Tour Down Under versus the Tour de France
It is very true Dylan, Armstrong’s contribution to the growth of Cyclng has been enormous, luckily with the emergence of tour winners from Aus and the UK it seems that the growth will keep snowballing without him.
Why cycling still owes Armstrong a great thanks
I use it too and find it very useful and good fun too even on commute to work. The Californian bloke who died was a bad one…supposedly he had lost the KOM that morning. There was also a guy using Strava who hit a pedestrian doing well above the driving speed limit… he got done for manslaughter.

It was a pity he didn’t really put the boot into UCI at all. He seemed to think he was keeping some of his honour by not dobbing people in. You are right though until UCI is cleaned out there is little hope for a genuinely and believably clean cycling hierarchy. I guess at least it isn’t the only sport which needs this clean out – take Sepp Blatter and FIFA and the farce which is World Cup venue selections!!
Post Lance: What's next for cycling?
Nice interview…looking forward to the Rasmussen style drug revelations!
