Tour de Cycling - Wednesday
Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/03/2009 - 03:23- Astana cleared to continue racing: As we noted on Twitter an hour ago, the UCI has for now cleared Astana to continue racing. They are racing the Tour de Luxembourg, now underway, and look set to race the Dauphine Libere which starts Sunday. Beyond that, things are not clear at this point. More on this story here. (AP)
- Tour de Luxembourg: As in years past, there is a daily highlights program scheduled on TV at 19:50 CET (1:50pm U.S. Eastern). So a video feed may be playing here. Note that this feed quickly becomes overwhelmed. We do not know what if any coverage there will be for today's prologue since the race is taking place during the scheduled highlights show.

Flashback: 2003 Tour de Luxembourg, Stage 1: "Baker boy" Thomas Voeckler, left,
glanced at breakaway companion Piotr Wadecki and then blasted up the short climb
to the finish for the stage win in the city of Luxembourg. Voeckler went on to win the overall
but it wasn't until the following year at the 2004 Tour de France that Voeckler would become
a name known around the world when he wore and defended the yellow jersey for 10 days.

- The Skoda Tour de Luxembourg starts today and runs through June 7. We do not believe there to be any live television coverage but highlights may be available. More info to come on that.
The Tour of Luxembourg is the national Tour of the Schleck brothers, Frank and Andy. They will be joined on the start line by riders including Stuart O'Grady, Maxim Iglinskiy, Andreas Kloden, Ruben Perez, Danilo Napolitano, Romain Feillu, Robert Hunter, Koen de Kort, and Baden Cooke.
Today's stage is a short 2.7km evening prologue in the city of Luxembourg. According to the official website, the first rider will depart at 19:00 CET (1pm U.S. Eastern) and the last rider (Andreas Kloden) will depart at 21:00 CET (3pm U.S. Eastern). The full start order and start times here (.pdf)
Tour de Cycling - Monday

- The Tour de France is just over one month away and following Lance Armstrong's 12th place finish in the Giro d'Italia many people are wondering how well the 7-time Tour champion might be able to do in July. A reporter for Agence France-Presse (AFP) posed that very question to five pro team managers and directeurs sportif in Rome at the finish of the Giro. All five believe Armstrong can finish in the top 10 at the Tour, with four of five believing he can finish in the top five. Three of the five believe Armstrong can reach the podium, with two believing Armstrong can win it all.
Valerio Piva (Columbia-Highroad): "At his age and after being out for three years, I don't believe he can reach the podium. Win? No, in my opinion. To win the Tour, you have to be with the best riders every day."
Lionel Marie (Garmin-Slipstream): "He can reach the podium. Win? If you're in the top three, why not?"
Vittorio Algeri (Milram): "He had a great Giro. Even though I don't believe he can be the rider he was a few years ago, he can finish in the top 5 or 6 at the Tour. Win? I don't think so."
Laurent Biondi (AG2R): "At the Tour, he can reach top 5 if he continues to progress and given his experience. Win? That would seem a bit difficult. But he could surprise us. He can't be counted out for the podium."
Roberto Damiani (Silence-Lotto): "Armstrong will be very, very strong at the Tour. His 12th place at a high quality Giro in May should translate to a podium spot at the Tour in July. Win? I'd say he is one of the contenders for overall victory."

Poll: Was it correct to neutralize the Giro stage in Milan?
Submitted by admin on Mon, 05/18/2009 - 11:10- Giro d'Italia race director Angelo Zomegnan is not happy that riders protested race conditions, resulting in Sunday's much-anticipated stage in Milan being neutralized. (A stage win was at stake but results did not count toward the general classification.) Among obstacles noted by riders were parked cars, traffic islands, and tram lines. An eyewitness reported to cyclingfans.com that amateur riders were on the course while the race was going on. Were the riders correct to protest?
