re:Optimum crank length In category Racing Written by vladzmina Yesterday i was talking to a high ranking UCI rider who told me he had just been tested by one of the cycling testing gurus. He indicated this testing guru suggested his crank length was too long and through out this interesting fact to him: he said that their testing suggested that the optimum crank length for sustained power generation is 162.5 although he realized that this may not be optimum
re:Sea Otter Elite Races In category Racing Written by caseyjones225 The prologue and the circuit races both start on the track and stay on the reservation. So you go straight to the track on Thursday. I guess they learned their lessons regardling the Santa Cruz crit from last year and that dopy idea for the mid-peninsula road race through housing areas. As much as I'd like to see real road racing in the USA it's pretty hard in the bay area. The elite road race wi
re:Bostik......give others a chance In category Racing Written by Digit Just throwing this out there........Curious to know how other 50+ masters races might feel ? It must really suck to be in Bostik's same age group, and know that you'll never win a TT championship as long as this guy keeps showing up. Like I said.........just throwing the thought out there.....
Drugs and Eating Disorders In category Racing Written by oldmanriver This reminds me somewhat of the '84 LA Olympic road race winner Alexi Grewal. Now I wouldn't say that Alexi had an eating disorder but he was noted for his somewhat unothodox approach to things. Alexi was part of the French RMO squad in 86/87 and he had a concern that he wouldn't get enough calories from his diet to deal with the demands of professional cycling. So before the team dinner in the ho
re:Put down the crack pipe In category Racing Written by Spidex Here is George's palmares page: http://www.hincapie.com/biography.cfm He has a win in a midweek semi-classic. He has zero (that's ZERO folks) podium finishes in big weekend races. Zero. None. It has never happened. If you were looking for a star to build a classics team around, why would you pick George? The list of guys with better records as classics riders is really long. Don't get me wro

re:Iban Mayo is LA's only challenger In category Racing Written by PhishyPhil420 It is clear now. Iban Mayo is the only threat to LA. After what happened at L'Alpe d'Huez and the stage yesterday, the contenders and pretenders have been revealed. Ullrich doesn't look to be able to keep up with the big boys in the steep climbs and I never considered Beloki to be a serious threat to LA. It had to be a challenger who was new and whose abilities weren't fully revealed in previo

re:Rest in peace Michel Zanoli In category Racing Written by PhishyPhil420 From http://teletekst.nos.nl/tekst/648-01.html Michel Zanoli died from a heart arrest Monday 29 December. He was 35 years old. The retired professional, who was battling psychological problems for some time already, won gold in 1986 in the world championship junior road race. One year earlier he won bronze in the WC team time trial. Zanoli started his professional cycling career in 1989 with team
re:Trivia question In category Racing Written by Tazeko From the Letterman interview I got the somewhat surprising (to me) fact that Lance will turn 33 years old before next July. I have heard it said that no one has won the Tour de France beyond age 32 for a long time. I got curious and wondered how long. After digging around, I found out that Joop Zoetemelk won at the age of 33 in 1980 (he was born 3 December 1946). Of course he was something of an
re:World's Selections In category Racing Written by The One True Paco Am I missing something here? How is Mike Voigt an alternate for U-23 world's? I don't really know him that well, barely in fact, however, he's had an outstanding season. How can you win what is essentially the Elite (w/o contract) Nationals and is 3rd in the U-23 road nat's on two very different courses? For that matter, Erdelyi won the U-23 race.

George will of course win the World Championship Road Race the following week. Since Heras took the Vuelta, I guess you all homo's who call Postal a one horse team, will have to eat crow. Saturn was soooo much better anyway. Yuk! Yuk! Yuk!

re:Why don't Bianchi and Telekom ride for their stars? In category Racing Written by intrepidtraveler Jan needs every second he can get - so wouldn't it be sensible for his team to try to let flat stages end in mass sprints? Erik needs every point he can get for the green jersey, even if he says he doesn't care about it - so wouldn't it be sensible for his team to try to let flat stages end in mass sprints? Both teams have nothing to lose anymore. Bianchi anyway, Telekom's Vinokurov should be sa
re:WADA removes drug ban on caffeine and pseudoephedrine, will In category Racing Written by Son Goku Man, I suffered for years with allergies and the only thing that makes a dent is Sudafed (pseudoephedrine). Do you know how many times I suffered because of that ridiculous ban? I should say that I hope that put a cap on it so that people don't "mega-dose" the drug but in normal doses it really helps a lot of people.

re:Listening to the oldies In category Racing Written by dr_jayjay I decided to take a slow day at the Vincennes bike course just outside Paris, and rode with some really slow old guys, and ended up learning quite a lot. They were riding at about 22kph average, but doing an 80 km ride...

re:Lance How can it happen In category Racing Written by bebe23 Sometimes, a dumbass like me doesn;t drink enough and bonks on a ride or two, but how can this happen to Lance with all the coaches and trainers? Mainly, 1. Ullrich warmed up in a cool room with air conditioning. WHy didn't old Chris Carm. find this for Lance or suggest it? 2. WHy didn;t Lance drink enough before the stage? It was almost 100 degrees he should have been drinking non stop before t
re:Phil's comments preceding Beloki's crash In category Racing Written by Husker Pretty impressive how he called it.

re:"Flying Scotsman" In category Racing Written by GaHokie The Graeme Obree autobiography is out. I bought it yesterday and finished it early this morning. Fascinating, harrowing, triumphant and bleak. One of the most honest and insightful accounts of a cycling champion that I've ever read. I knew something of his problems, but the book highlights the strakness of the condition and how it influenced his career and blighted his life. Maybe I'm biased as

re:Doping is stupid In category Racing Written by Akumu In order to compete for a win at the pro level most professionals feel like they have to dope (unless they possess an extraordinary genetic talent). Recreational drug use is much more efficacious. When everyone at a party is doped up, at least every single person is having a better experience than if they were sober. At a bike race, if everyone is doped up, they aren't having a better time - the

re:World's kilo result In category Racing Written by caseyjones225 For the most part, the kilo is one of the most boring events on the track. However, every once in awhile, it does become very interesting. Today's results had the top 12 riders going below 1:03.00. By adding to the depth of the rider pool and foregoing the one rider/country standard of the past, this is definitely one event which has benefited by qualifying via the World Cup races. I wish I'd be

re:Was Lance palying head games? In category Racing Written by *lostindark* more work, and might just be in better shape than we all thought. I wish that I thought Jan was doing the same.

re:Asshole bike racers(long) In category Racing Written by *lostindark* This is a long message from the NE list: I just want to inform everyone that the Monson Road Race will no longer be held due to a variety of incidents that occurred this past weekend.

re:Best Bike Trainer?? In category Racing Written by Tazeko I am looking for my first indoor bike trainer for my road bike. Anyone care to give me a suggestion? I am a triathlete and the bike is my weakest part so I want to train hard this winter and spring and get my average speed up a notch or two. So far I have seen the Trek Cyclops Fluid and that looks pretty good and is in the right price range of under $300.
re:lame fattie masters In category Racing Written by Didgman Not long before I flatted during the TT at master nationals on Monday, I found myself rolling up on a couple of riders who looked like they were doing a 2-up TTT.

re:Pro Tour discussion In category Racing Written by tarbell http://www.cycling4all.com has a preliminary look at the calendar and point scales - Based on a calculations with 2003 results they conclude that year-round races are disfavoured, as opposed to the intentions. I don' t think this is true, Zabel and Petacchi fall away from the top of the ranking because stage results become marginal in the new calculation. The new calculation is not sprinter-frien

re:Hamilton questions In category Racing Written by SpiderJohn - Is there an open container law in Hamilton, i.e. can I crack open a beer at curbside while I watch the race? - Looking at the race schedule and the CBC coverage schedule it appears that there will be almost no live TV of the races. By that I mean that there is little overlap between when the races are scheduled and when TV coverage is scheduled. This means that you won't be able to bring a port
