Magura makes changes for 2009
Magura’s Marta three-model brake line-up is new for 2009. This is the first time the brake has been redesigned since its introduction at Interbike in 2001.

The fact that it has had a seven-year run, without change, in such a competitive market is a testament to the strength of the original design.

For many domestic teams, the next eight days in Pennsylvania can define a successful or disappointing season.

Alberto Contador wins the 2008 Giro d’Italia
Now Alberto Contador can go back to the beach. After interrupting a vacation a month ago to pack his bags to head to Italy, the defending Tour de France champion secured one of the most unlikely victories in cycling history to claim the 91st Giro d’Italia on Sunday. “It’s never been so worth it to leave a vacation early,” Contador said. “I didn’t know I was coming to the Giro until eight days before the race.
