Lloyd Mondory écœuré par Saxo Bank et Columbia

Avant de participer à son premier Tour de France, Lloyd Mondory n’a pas mâché ses mots envers les formations Saxo Bank et Columbia. Le coureur d’AG2R-La Mondiale se dit "écœuré de voir “renaître de ses cendres” Fabien Cancellara sur le dernier Tour de Suisse. Lloyd Mondory n’est également tendre avec Fränk Schleck : “Je courais contre lui en junior, quand il était dans l’équipe de Châteauroux. Je le valais. Après on progresse tous différemment. Mais par rapport à lui, je n’ai pas du tout progressé (rires) !” affirme-t-il, avant de rappeler que Fränk Schleck n’a plus rien à faire sur un vélo s’il est prouvé qu’il a fait un chèque de 7000 euros au Docteur Fuentes.
Sur le Tour de Suisse, le comportement de l’équipe Columbia, qui a enregistré sept victoires d’étape, a également interpellé Mondory. “C’est dégueulasse. Après, on dit que tout va bien dans le vélo. Mais ça, c’est écœurant. Il y a des choses qui paraissent trop grosses pour qu’on ait envie d’y croire” conclut celui que certaines équipes ne laisseront peut-être plus partir dans une échappée pendant les trois semaines du Tour…

Cyclingweekly tweets that Levi's handlebars are illegal

But they check those things before the start, don’t they?

The last one in rainbows wasn’t skinny. And wasn’t too hard on the eye, in white…

A frozen 'cross ride from this last weekend. As you may be aware we have had siberian conditions here in the UK with a low of -14 degrees centigrade here on saturday morning. It was a beautiful sunny morning so i layered up and set off for a snowy 'cross ride along a roman road. I checked the thermometer when i got back to find it had been -10 throughout the ride! I had a lot of fun though and the views were spectacular.
