beginning of August got really busy for me with the addition of an intensive course to my workload.............and i'm back on the bike again after an injury lay-off in July which tends to mean I need more sleep unfortunately. that means less discretionary time in other areas......BF being one. I haven't even been reading my 4 or 5 pages of RIDE which I enjoy doing before (ahem) sleep. tomorrow is a recovery day :p

I'm really hoping I have the time to dedicate for the Tour of Spain TBH!! Looking forward to the race.

Maybe they are going to concentrate more on stages, put together a sprint team, put more miles down early in the year to be contenders in the big tours later in the year, ride for somone already in place. Lots of things it could mean really.

I don't either, but still check up on the smaller race results and then download the relevant races. Also highlights for most races are around.

Might not have the full roster of teams for next year. Very interesting.

"The World Calendar features men’s pro cycling’s best races plus the Tour of Beijing."


That sums it up so well haha. Euska have basically put themselves out of business by remaining a Pro Team this year, there isn't a whole lot of incentive when you can get the WildCard entries, like Europcar do. Good article.

I'll be the super lead out man that desperately wants to be a sprinter but just isn't quite good enough
 
Bradley Wiggins to quit road for track at end of next season.

Britain's Bradley Wiggins says he will quit road racing at the end of next season in order to return to the track.
The 2012 Tour de France winner, who already has four Olympic titles, said: "I'm going to continue to the next Olympics and try for a fifth."

He also suggested he was willing to support this year's winner Chris Froome.
"I don't mind admitting that Chris is probably a better Grand Tour rider than me," Wiggins said.
"He is a much better climber, he can time-trial well. [At 28] he has age on his side, he has no kids, that's fine. If Chris wants to, he could potentially win five Tours now.
"So if I want to win another Tour, I'd probably have to leave the team.
"I love this team. This is my home, I'm not going to go, 'I want to be the leader still, so I'm off'."

Huge news.
