If you all know (or didn't), Garmin, the GPS manufacturers have equipped their sponsored Team this year with the Edge 705 GPS enabled bike computers (I have an Edge 605 - great bit of kit).  Each day, the telemetry data is uploaded to Garmins' 'motionbased' site that allows users to save/record and use the data. The information available ...

I am watching todays race & the comentators have talked about the danger of descents & also the new tarmac laid over most of this col. I was there, descending into Italy 2 weeks ago from the col du Lombarde & came to a sudden halt with both my bike wheels over the rims in tarmac that was just being laid.

This is all about the respect the riders have for thier jobs. Lets not forget its the hardest sport in the world and right now it's each riders cup final. Why are they risking it.

No RSS feed? No comments? That ain't no blog.

All   Please can someone tell me where I can download a full list of riders.?   Thanks in advance.   Mike
