Paris-Camembert: The story behind the results
The race was really fast. 45 kph average even with the seven climbs in the last 70 km. We thought Pat’s break was gone as it was a very strong group. But the combined efforts of four other teams got them back. The two important climbs in the last 15 km were set to decide [...]

Looking back on Paris-Nice, Farrar looks forward to Milano-Sanremo
What a week! The last few days have been a bit rough and I have to admit I am glad to have them behind me. This was my second Paris-Nice, and after last year’s race, which was on an “easier” course, I knew what I was in for before the race started. Nevertheless, I was [...]
Results don't tell the full story
Well that sucked! I just couldn’t hold it when it went full gas on the last climb. I don’t really understand. I have been feeling a bit tired these last couple of days. I’ve not been my usual early riser and have not been feeling like I’ve been in control in the racing. I was [...]
Unlucky stage 3: live and die as a team
Well, we set the race up the best we could have for Trent. Sadly, he crashed into a pole avoiding another crash and broke his bike. Since the peloton was split to pieces every where, we were a ways behind in the car. So no spare bike. His teammates couldn’t help much either, as their [...]
GC hopes survive wind, rain and crash
Despite our “high wind warning,” shortened, 93.5 km stage today, Slipstream’s GC hopes were preserved…. Barely. Both Trent Lowe and David Millar made the final selection of 30 riders who contested the final sprint. Many of the top GC contenders were left behind by high winds that split the peloton to pieces. However, the news [...]

Dan's Volta a Valencia Stage 2: Good day at the office
Today’s critical break wasn’t going without one of the argyle boys! Timmy had an awesome ride and basically forced the breakaway over the first climb. He was out there so long that long I actually started to miss the guy. About 150km I think. He’s now 2nd in the mountains. So now we are in [...]

Dan's Volta a Valencia Stage 1: Riding in reverse
So the weather was great, but personally I wasn’t. The good news is that team rode well and we are pretty damn happy with the day. Trent and Ryder finished with the front group of about 24 guys. So now they will be fighting it out for the GC. The whole stage was driven by [...]
Dan's Tour Med Final! Day: Getting out of the gutter
Fighting for position all day really takes it out of you both physically and mentally. Then the second you relax, the moment you’ve been preparing for all day happens. The race goes in the gutter and the pain starts. (Dan’s pain face pictured left.) This is what happened in my case. We had already ridden [...]
