Le Tour Diary | Stage 7, Saur-Sojasun Who?

Of the 22 teams in the Tour de France, 18 have ProTeam status (formerly ProTour). One of the basic differences between the WorldTour and the previous ProTour system is that all of the ProTeams are obligated to attend all races on the WorldTour calendar. In the ProTour, it was up to the ASO’s and other […]

Le Tour Diary | Stage 6, How To Watch The Tour

The best way to follow the Tour de france is by watching it on TV along with one of the popular Tour Trackers sitting on your laptop close by. If your main interest is keeping a close eye on the race, you can do that from Australia. You’ll probably end up disappointed if think you’ll […]

Le Tour Diary | Stage 4

As we sit here in McDonalds at 11pm in the middle of Brittany still searching for an vacant hotel room within 200kms I reflect on everything that didn’t quite go right for us today. Quite often, the closer you get to the TdF, the less you actually see of it. We spent most of the […]

Le Tour Diary, Stage 3

Today was one of the most thrilling days of my entire cycling life. Veeral and I started the day from Nantes and headed to the startline to catch the action. I have no idea how Veeral has successfully navigated the Giro and a few days of the TdF completely solo. Being a passenger entailed having […]

Le Tour Diary | Stage 2

Today I left Champéry and headed to the opposite corner of France to start following the Tour. Catching the train seemed the be the easiest way to get there and judging by the connections on the ticket it would be a piece of cake.

What You Missed This Morning…In Switzerland

It’s no wonder road riding is so popular in Europe. Small windy roads, hardly any traffic, hills galore…does it get any better? 2100m of climbing today in 70kms…and I’m not even close to burning off the kilo of cheese fondue I ate last night.

La Dent du Midi

I’ve decided to extend my stay here in Champéry for a few more days than expected. I’ve fallen in love with this quiet little village in the Swiss Alps and I’m taking the opportunity to enjoy the people I’m here with, the mountain biking, the quiet roads, the spectacular food, and planting my feet in […]

Pass’Portes du Soleil 2011

I’m back here in Champéry Switzerland galavanting around the Alps satisfying my guilty pleasures. Baggy shorts, black socks, hairy legs, sausages and beer….all the deadly sins a seasoned roadie can possibly indulge.

Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré Gallery

Throughout the past week one of the most important lead up races to the Tour de France had been taking place. The Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré is held in the mountainous region in eastern France called la Dauphiné, and like many other race origins, it was created to sell more newspapers.

Giro Reflections

Many of you know my good mate Veeral Patel. He’s been contributing his photography to this blog since the day it began and we’ve watched him progress throughout the years. Not long ago he couldn’t even get a break when applying for accreditation to photograph local Cyclesport Victoria races. Now, through his perseverance, hard work, […]
