Friday Night at the Track

We look like we are anxiously watching horses at Golden Gate Fields. Must be the t-shirts.

The Hair of the Giro

If most Italian cyclists had their way, they would be allowed to gel their hair into a helmet. Many of the riders truly look like Sammy Hagar, though some go for a more contemporary faux-hawk. Here are some photos from this year's Giro di Italia.

Faces of Victory

As the spring of 2008 drifts pass us, and our warmer summer shows her smiley face, it's time to reflect on another round of the greatest bike races on the planet. Everybody raves about the Grand Tours, the Olympics, or the World Championships, but the Spring Classics are consistently the most exciting, unpredictable bike races of the year. Here are the range of emotions on the faces of this year's victors:

Liege-Bastogne-Liege (Alejandro Valverde)


Fleche Wallonne (Kim Kirchen)


Amstel Gold (Damian Cunego)


Paris-Roubaix (Tom "Won Ton" Boonen)


Ghent-Wevelgem (Oscar Friere)


Tour of Flanders (Stijn Devolder)


Milan-San Remo (Fabian Cancellara)
