Jeanson wasn't the only heavy hitter in the field: Quark's Lyne Bessette was on the attack, too

And what top-shelf race would not be led at some point by France's Jeannie Longo?

Still, when Jeanson attacks, it's usually au revoir to the field ...

Says Gibson: 'Boy, was she happy to win this race.'

Over the last few years, a trip to Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles has meant either sneaking out late at night for a fourth meal of the day while visiting family in SoCal, or insane 16-hour stealth road trips. But now chicken and waffles have landed in the least likely of places, Boulder, at a new restaurant here in town. A report will definitely be forthcoming. On a related topic, according to an AP report, a 53-year-old man is suing the company that promotes the Atkins Diet, “alleging that following the high-fat meal plan clogged his arteries and threatened his health.” Gee, you think? Seems

Yeah, Pavel, you tell ’em, babe. Tell ’em how it is. Fight the power. Damn the man! I’m referring, of course, to the unseen “up yours” finish-line salute Thursday’s Giro d’Italia stage winner threw as he crossed the line. Tonkow explained his reasoning — “No one's got any faith in me, everyone thought I was finished” — but actually, I felt like throwing the same gesture at a race last week, to the unidentified genius that took out my rear wheel in the first 5km of the Colorado Roubaix on a flat, straight and completely manageable dirt road. I’d been focusing on this local race for months

Ulmer smiles after setting her world record

Canadian cyclist Geneviève Jeanson is facing a possible suspension after failing to turn up for an April 21 drug test after the finish of the women’s edition of Flèche Wallonne in Belgium. Jeanson has reportedly explained that she missed the test because of an oversight. Jeanson told the French language Canadian newspaper La Presse that she had a blood and urine test before the race. "I'm not saying that's the reason but subconsciously I no doubt told myself that I had already had all the necessary tests for the day," Jeanson was quoted in the paper's Wednesday edition.
