“I want to win the Vuelta one day”
A neo-pro with Omega Pharma-Quick Step, Carlos Verona got to race this year in some important competitions, like the Volta a Catalunya, Vuelta al Pais Vasco, Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège. Now, as this season is near the end, I thought it was a good moment to ask him to reflect on what ha

know that she was more tired than me, but for me it was really, really good.
Giorgia Bronzini (Wiggle Honda) defeating Marianne Vos (Rabobank-Liv/Giant) in today’s first road stage of the Giro della Toscana could be a sign that the World championship road race is to see another battle between the two sprint rivals. Bronzini has bested current champion Vos twice in the Worlds

Scottish 100 Mile TT Champion 2013.
‘Unfinished business’ is how Iain Grant (Dooleys) viewed the 2013 Scottish 100
mile championship; and it has to be said that he ‘did the business’ on the day
to win in 3:54:05 giving him a yawning nine minute margin over team mate Gavin
Shirley [4:03:02] and Jim Cusick (Glasgow Couriers) [4:03

Five minutes with Claire Beaumont, brand manager at Condor Cycles.
She gets Condor mechanics on call (a bit), is a firm fixture in the cyclo-cross scene and likes a bit of cake. Amazing what you learn in five minutes.

Happy to be a part of Colombia's ongoing cycling legacy.
During a long transfer at the Giro d'Italia this year, most riders from Team Colombia sat at the front of bus. They joked and laughed endlessly, pausing only from time to time to look at the profile of following day's stage, which itself induced nervous laughter from all of them. In the back of the

It's time to stop calling him a "Six Day Star".
The last time we spoke to Danish Six Day star Michael Mørkøv was back in June
after he’d pulled off a brilliant but unexpected win in the Danish Elite Road
Race Championships for his Saxo-Tinkoff team.
And he’s done it again – this time taking a beautiful stage win in the Vuelta,

PEZ Talk: Zak Dempster.
One of the pleasant surprises from the Vuelta so far was the stage win from Leo Konig of the NetApp-Endura team. A wildcard invite to the race the boys from this German/Scottish Pro Continental team have certainly proved their worth in the race already with some strong showings on a number of days a

Right now, I know that I am in good shape. I have to stay focussed.
Having won a stage and also led the Vuelta a España for a day, Nicolas Roche is currently experiencing his best Grand Tour performance to date.
The Irish rider had a quiet Tour de France, partly due to working for Alberto Contador and also because he was two kilos over his racing weight. Since t

Just a quick five stage tour, and then he left for his home in Fribourg-en-Brisgau, Germany. After four days racing around the roads of the international Tour du Poitou-Charentes, Heinrich Haussler found his confidence in the pack again following his heavy crash during the Tour of Switzerland.

I have had a really good run of luck this year. It was about time I got dealt a shit hand.
Irish pro Dan Martin has said that he is recovering well from the concussion that ruled him out of the Vuelta a España and that he remains on course for a strong campaign at the world road race championships later this month.

Former Tour de France yellow jersey wearer gets second chance in cycling.
He was once seen as a future Tour de France contender, particularly after he won a stage and wore the Maillot Jaune in the 2007 edition.
In the years since then Linus Gerdemann went on to win the overall classifications of the Tour de l’Ain, the Deutschland Tour, Bayern Rundfarht and the Tour de
