    Message by Richard Pestes
    It’s time to start planning that Fall trip to Italy – and at least one place you gotta see is Lake Como, where the riding, scenery, food & drink guarantee a most memorable trip. A stay at the hotel Il Perlo Panorama just above Bellagio provides the perfect base…

  • Vuelta’10 St.12: Manx Man Wins With Three Legs!


    Message by Alastair Hamilton
    Race Report: A sprinters' day with a climb near the start, the usual break went up the road, but they were only allowed a maximum lead of 3 minutes and were just out there for the show. In the end Mark Cavendish made it look sooo easy!

  • Vuelta'10 St.11: The GC Battle Begins In Earnest

    Message by Jered Gruber
    Today's 208 kilometer stage from the coastal Catalonian city of Vilanova i la Geltru to the majestic heights of the Andorran ski town of Pal at 1900 meters was always set to be the first major test of this year's Vuelta. There have been a number of quizzes so far, but the beyond category final climb to Pal proved the perfect battleground to begin the whittling process of the favorites.

  • Vuelta Talk: Footon's Aussie Johnnie Walker

    Message by Edmond Hood
    ‘Johnnie Walker,’ unless you were a Footon-Servetto fan, up until stage two of this year’s Vuelta, you probably thought it was the name of a whisky? But last Sunday the 23 year-old from Sale, Gippsland, Australia was in the limelight of world cycling as ‘moto 1’ which covers the break, focussed on his Footon- Servetto jersey for much of the stage. We interrupted Johnnie’s rest day peace to ask him a few questions.

  • Vuelta'10 St.10: Erviti Scores Out Of The Break

    Message by Dave Aldersebaes
    Race Report: A long day on some deceivingly tough roads met the peloton at the Vuelta after the first rest day at 175.7km stage from Tarragona to Vilanova i la Geltrú. Imanol Erviti attacked his breakaway mates and stayed away for a fine, hard earned win on hot Spanish roads today.

  • PEZ Talk: Irish Talent Philip Lavery

    Message by Edmond Hood
    August 1st - that can only mean one thing. It's stagiaire time. Almost 100 young men got the chance to realise their dream of riding for a pro team at the beginning of last month. Some have stepped up with big results and a precious contract for 2011, others have not. PEZ spoke to a man we've been keeping an eye on and who's already racing as a stagiaire with a team that punches above it's weight - AN Post. He's 19 years-old, from Dublin - Mr. Philip Lavery.

  • Toolbox: On the Road Cuisine

    Message by Dr. Stephen Cheung, Ph.D.
    For many of us, a highlight of the cycling year is a multi-day cycling event. For some, it’s a stage race. For others, it’s a bike tour. As we know, one of the keys to making such events tolerable, let alone enjoyable, is good food. Eating well and properly is not only good for the morale, but it’s critical in ensuring adequate recovery for another day of hard effort. What do elite cyclists do in terms of eating and energy output over the course of a hard stage race?

  • Vuelta De Pez: Mountains & Ostriches?

    Message by Alastair Hamilton
    Roadside Pez St. 9: Sun, sand, mountains and a bike race, it can’t get much better than this! Well it could I guess, if it had been possible to see all of the seven classified climbs and the finish then that would have been tops! Good news for next year; La Vuelta 2011 will start in Benidorm; I could walk there, if I wanted too!

  • EuroTrash Monday!

    Message by Chris Selden
    The Vuelta rolls into a rest day today but there's no rest for the EuroTrash which has been steadily piling up since last Thursday's edition. We have transfers, returns, sadness, joy, investigations and retirements plus much more in yet another EuroTrash Monday!

  • Vuelta '10 St. 9: Glory For The Little Guy

    Message by Edmond Hood
    Race Report: Aggressive and opportunistic Caisse d’Epargne domestique David Lopez was the man who grabbed the stage win glory at the top of the punishing drag into Alcoi at the end of another long hot day in the saddle with Euskaltel’s Igor Anton doggedly hanging on to the leader’s jersey despite Joaquin Rodriguez trying to wrest that single – but vital – second from him in the finale.

  • Vuelta De Pez ’10: Moncoutie & Mountains!

    Message by Alastair Hamilton
    Roadside Pez St. 8: Everyone said that the real La Vuelta started today and they were not wrong. Three climbs close together near the end would sort a few things out, but it was an early break that made the news with Mountain Man Moncoutie leading the charge.

  • Vuelta’10 St.8: Mountain Man Moncoutie’s Magic Day!

    Message by Gordan Cameron
    Race Report: It’s a sad start to the first big mountain stage of this year’s Vuelta. Team Sky’s masseur Txema González passed away yesterday and the distraught team and staff have all left the race. There’s a minute’s silence to remember a universally popular personality in the cycling world, and PezCyclingNews sends our condolences, too.

  • PEZ Talk: RadioShack's Matthew Busche

    Message by Edmond Hood
    Fairy tales are rare in pro cycling, but 25 year old Matthew Busche’s story is about as a close as they come. At the beginning of the 2009 season, he was riding as an amateur in the US, then Kelly Benefits snapped him up, he rode a mere four races for them before Johan Bruyneel signed him for Team Radioshack. Busche's first year in the pro ranks has been a whirlwind tour capped off recently be a stellar finish at the Tour of Denmark.
