- L'Equipe photographer Bernard Papon gets the shots
Graham Watson is by far the best-known individual cycling photographer worldwide. He obviously is world class and arguably the best. But when French sports daily L'Equipe puts a half dozen or more of its own world class photographers on a bike race, they easily combine to produce the best photographic coverage. The low resolution and highly compressed images above do not do justice to the superb sequence shot by L'Equipe's Bernard Papon. - Thor Hushovd, the last man left to challenge Tom Boonen in Sunday's Paris-Roubaix, goes down and Boonen is gone. -Pete

Tour de Cycling - Monday
Submitted by admin on Mon, 04/13/2009 - 06:44 You've heard of the Giro d'Italia. The Giretto d'Italia, or "Little Giro," is a charity ride created by an American father and daughter team, Gene Nacey and Nina Wilczek. They need sponsors and riders. They are riding the first 5 stages of the Giro next month ahead of the peloton. Want to consider sponsoring a rider? "Whatever you can do is great - 10 cents per mile, $1 per mile, $10 per mile - it's up to you! Your funds will go towards cancer research through the Lance Armstrong Foundation and benefit cancer survivors worldwide." Click here for more info. |

Paris-Roubaix Live Coverage
Submitted by admin on Sat, 04/11/2009 - 17:16
Born in Argentina, Juan Antonio Flecha began racing at the age of 7. And from the start, he was in love with cobblestones. He lived on a cobbled street. Sharing a bedroom with his sister Emilia, Juan Antonio's bed was the one next to the window. Passing cars at night made the noise...that passing cars on cobblestones make. "I could hear the cobblestones even while asleep, even in my dreams." (info from J.A. Flecha's website)
Copyright © 2009 Pete Geyer/www.cyclingfans.com
There's my pick, or I should say co-pick for tomorrow's Paris-Roubaix: Juan Antonio Flecha. "Co-pick" because I will continue to pick George Hincapie until he wins it or retires. I highlighted Hincapie last year, now it's Flecha's turn.
Anyone who has been dreaming of cobblestones since the age of 7 needs to win this race. Like Hincapie, Flecha is made for Paris-Roubaix. They have both finished on the second step of the Paris-Roubaix podium. In 2005, they were on the podium together, Hincapie second, Flecha third behind winner Tom Boonen.
Juan Antonio Flecha is a classy rider and he is great with fans and the media alike.
Juan Antonio Flecha (Rabobank) answers questions at the 2008 Paris-Roubaix teams presentation in Compiegne.

Imagine a successful two-man breakaway on Sunday, Flecha and Hincapie. Two men who have dreamed of this for most of their lives. Two men who have been just one step from raising a cobblestone above their heads in triumph. Two men who have already finished on the podium together. I know who my top pick would be but I could be happy with either one. -Pete Geyer
