05.21.10Lewis comes close to Giro stage victoryCraig Lewis (HTC-Columbia) came oh-so-close to victory in Friday’s 13th stage at the Giro d’Italia. The grand tour rookie uncorked a daring solo attack with 1700m to go, clicked into his 53×11 and put his head down. He only got reeled in with 200m to go and drifted across the line eighth behind winner Manuel Belletti (Colnago-CSF). “It was a surreal moment. I had my director yelling in my ear. I had a good gap. If things would have played out differently, I would have had it, but that’s how it goes. Somebody closed the gap and the sprinters are faster than ...

05.19.10Amgen Tour of California favourites: Can Leipheimer make it four?For all that has changed at the Amgen Tour of California in 2010, the contenders for the race’s overall title remain largely the same heading into its fifth edition.

Holding the race later in the year should change the weather conditions in which the event is held, with the lack of snow enabling the route to include bigger, ...

05.19.10Historic Pro Bike: Andy Hampsten’s 1988 7-Eleven Huffy Giro d’ItaliaSaturday's torturous run into Montalcino will undoubtedly go down as one of the most memorable moments of the Giro d'Italia with shattered riders crossing the line looking more as if they had just finished Paris-Roubaix, not a stage of a grand tour: minutes were gained and lost, spirits were broken, heroes were made. But for many Giro d'Italia watchers, stage 7 also harkened back to another brutally unforgiving day 22 years ago – when Andy Hampsten left behind all but one of his competitors ...

05.06.10Carlos Sastre: Unsung HeroCarlos Sastre has thought long and hard about last year’s disappointing defence of his Tour de France title. At the Giro d’Italia he took two mountain stage wins and fourth overall, later revised to third with Danilo Di Luca’s exclusion for doping. The veteran Spanish rider looked ready to give a spirited ride at the Tour. But it never happened. He finished 17th. He was off the pace, never in contention. More than anything, he says, his failure to contend came down to one thing. ...

05.05.10Giro promises tougher controls in 2010Giro d’Italia organizers are promising that this year’s race, which starts on Saturday in Amsterdam, will have “the most intensive anti-doping controls in the history of cycling.” In recent years, the Italian national tour has been plagued by a series of doping scandals that have involved top riders that either test positive at the race itself or were involved in doping cases soon after the completion of the event. Race director Angelo Zomegnan said that the Giro is determined to stop doping in an effort to “protect the health of riders and to restore the image of the Giro ...

04.21.10Ricco wins stage at TrentinoRiccardo Riccò (Flaminia) might not be the most popular rider in the peloton, but he won against some pretty elite company in Wednesday’s summit finish in stage 2 at the Giro del Trentino.

Riccò out-kicked Alexander Vinokourov – back from a two-year ban for blood doping during the 2007 Tour – to claim victory in the first-category finish at San Martino di Castrozza. Crossing the line third was defending champion ...

04.17.10Contador doubles in SpainAlberto Contador (Astana) did what he didn’t do in Friday’s summit finish, winning Saturday’s 15.1km individual time trial at the Vuelta a Castilla y León and taking the overall leader’s jersey. With just one stage to go, Contador moves decisively into the lead by 41 seconds after winning a rolling time trial in northwestern Spain to snatch away the leader’s jersey from Igor Antón (Euskaltel-Euskadi), the Basque climber who pipped Contador in Friday’s summit finish at the Alto de Morredero. Contador was the only rider to break the 21-minute barrier on the course, stopping the clock in 20 minutes, 30 seconds, easily ...
