Related. Kyle Murphy of the local Murphy brothers, now riding for Lupus, came in 15th, just 1:32 back on a climbing stage at altitude at the Tour of the Gila.

Holy schmolly, that's an insanely good result.

I wonder who his coach is...

Derek Bouchard-Hall as head of @usacycling has me nearly in tears. I can not think of a smarter, more ethical, more experienced candidate.

Strong words from Myerson!

Then again, he once sang Jonathan Chodroff's praises.  

1) 430 watts for an hour - HFS
2) Wiggo looks... fat

1. with weight comes power. (I'm told)

2. He probably should go with the club cut.  

"Club cut." LOL. Also, my newest favorite phrase of the week, "dad-bod."

Sky ditches Challenge for unsponsored Conti...

Great story about pulling together, but made me wonder , would he not have medical insurance

Racing pro without health insurance is pure madness.

Not health insurance per se, dental insurance.. Plus its not like
these guys are rolling in cash...

Earlier this year, a KCC rider asked me about using spring races as a way to get in shape. If I were Adam Myerson, my response would have gotten me published in CX Magazine because we basically said the same thing.

While the timing of this post may not seem appropriate, for those who are building more slowly towards racing later this summer and fall; I think it's worth a read if you need some food for thought as you plan out the rest of your training and racing calendar.

Thoughts?

Ridiculous.

Ha

The fact that this dick is still involved with professional cycling is an affront to clean cyclists everywhere.

What he never tested positive???

......

Neither did Hincapie....or Zabriskie...or Horner...or Barry...or Danielson...or Vande Velde...you get where I'm going?

Why I'm certain he was just a well meaning civilian.

Gianni Savio sounds off against Och comments:

Pretty literally a bunch of mafiosos trying to shoot each other.

I love the idea, that Astana is thinking "long term," looking to weaken Contador for the tour, even if their boss denies it.

Not that Contador seemed to care much today .

I know, right? That was insane and made absolutely no sense. But hell, makes for great TV!
