Message by Dave Aldersebaes Race Report: It was a long, hot ride in the saddle as todays stage from Montargis to Gueugnon is the longest of the Tour, and the temps were soaring. These 227.5km gave a last chance for the speedsters as the hills loom tomorrow, and Mark Cavendish took his second win in as many days in a Sprinters duel.

Message by Jered Gruber Race Report: After the arduous profiles of the last two days, the sprinters got their chance in Stage 5. Not to say that today was an easy one, but it didn’t finish with a final kilometer where the top speed was wrought by the little ring.

With temperatures soaring toward 100 degrees at the end of a week of high humidity, formidable challenges and innumerable crashes, a weary Tour de France peloton began to crack Saturday.

Message by Dave Aldersebaes Race Report: With enough time to sit up and look over his shoulder, then a cheeky wave of the arms to say Come on guys!, Mark Cavendish scored win number 4 at this years Tour. His gap of 3-4 bike lengths made the 70kph run to the line look almost too easy

On a Tour de France stage that featured five categorized climbs, HTC-Columbia’s star sprinter Mark Cavendish handily won the field sprint behind Astana’s Alexandre Vinokourov. The dominant performance confirmed that it will take more than the eviction of his star leadout man Mark Renshaw and some steep pitches of road to get rid of the Tour’s...
Message by Jered Gruber This is a tale of two differing fortunes – one of victory, one of second place. It’s often like that in bike racing, but it’s rarely so vivid in its harshness. Haussler made the perfect move in the final moments of the 2009 edition of Milano-Sanremo. He left nothing to chance, put in the perfect sprint, and...

Mark Cavendish wants to be more than the world’s fastest sprinter and is planning to widen his net to include a run for glory over the pavé of the northern classics.
