"He has said he wants to ride the Giro at least once during his career and this could be the right moment to do it," he added. "Next year the Giro finishes at the end of May and the hardest stages of the Tour de Fran

re:Reality Check for Weight Weenies?
In category Tech issues
Written by luxcars

The August issue of the French cycling magazine Le Cycle has an interesting article on the weights of the bicycles used in the Tour de
France. One point that the article makes is that the average weight of the bikes in the Tour declined by roughly one pound from 2002 to 2003 (from 8.14kg to 7.72kg), due to the increasing carbonization of so many components, and lighter frames. To me, however, the
