Brisbane Cyclist

Cycling in Brisbane Australia

Anyone following pro cycling here ?

I kinda feel sorry for Andy Schleck, paired up with Johan as a Team Manager can't be good for anyone. Now he's found out that his fall in the Dauphine has taken him out of the tour.

It's a two horse race this year, Cadel vs Wiggo...bring it on

keep an eye on Frank

Frank bombed in the Giro, not sure he's got the legs for the TdF this year.

I think the Evans vs Wiggins battle is going to be interesting.  First blood to Wiggins at the Dauphine, but I think Evans is doing what he did last year - just thinking strategically.

Looking forward to a month of no sleep when the Tour kicks off!

Yeah, nasty injury. No saddle will help with that one!

The gust of wind that dumped Andy must have been something like this, but briefer and more unexpected: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8qgjyqibwY#t=47 (mute audio first!)

Wow. How do you ride in that!! Love The scene where he is trying to get on his bike but the wind keeps blowing it away!
I use this video as a response to when people say, "Oh, yeah but everyone cycles in The Netherlands because it's flat." :-D

Those winds are worse than any hill, particularly if they are gusty.

It explains the heavy bikes ;)

True! :-)

(and all the recumbents and velomobiles)

Like a never ending hill is a good headwind.  Nasty!
