Stage Preview: An unusual garnish
Despite a night having passed, the tension hasn’t dropped, and the images of yesterday continue to dance in our minds, confirming Antoine Blondin’s beautiful proposition: "Three-quarters of a century of existence have sufficed for the Tour de France to create and exalt its own privileged geography. Among the modifications that, from one year to the next, can affect the itinerary, we find the permanence of certain hallowed places. They lend to the race a fourth dimension, situated in time, and contribute to the foundation of a sort of classicism." Needless to say, the classicism passed

A new Mr. Hamilton?
When you meet Tyler Hamilton, you think, "This guy’s too nice to be a pro bike racer." His dark, wavy hair is neatly trimmed, his eyes twinkle, and his mouth always has a hint of a smile. And with his calm, polite demeanor you would think that this slightly built 28-year-old New Englander was a banker sitting down to discuss a line of credit, rather than an elite athlete about to embark on his fifth Tour de France. Hamilton might well have become a corporate lackey, as he majored in economics at the University of Colorado. But while studying at the Boulder campus, he transitioned from

NORBA NCS: Where are the Americans?
Take a look at the overall NORBA National Championship Series standings through two events (Snow Summit and Snowshoe) and you’ll notice an alarming trend. If the season ended today, the series winners in six of the eight disciplines would be non-Americans and two of the U.S. national championship jerseys would be awarded to Americans who weren’t even in the top-five. Canadians would walk away with three of the overall series titles (Roland Green in the men’s cross country and short track, and Chrissy Redden in the women’s short track), while the Australians would take three more (Mary

Livingston’s big switch
He was there in the Pyrenees, there in the Alps, always ready to do the work necessary to aid in the effort. Like all serious team players, he was willing to put personal ambition aside and maintain focus on the big picture. For the last two years, that big picture has involved a guy named Lance Armstrong and a yellow jersey. This year the jersey is the same color, but Kevin Livingston is ready to do his best to see that someone else is wearing it on the streets of Paris on July 29. In Livingston’s case, his best can amount to a serious contribution. In 1999, Livingston was almost always at
