Bennati’s long road to a custom Super Six | | Bike fit is no joking matter for a professional racer. Fit is the single most important aspect of the bike. If the bike doesn’t fit, it really doesn’t matter how light or technologically advanced it is — it’s not going to be very fast.
Take the case of Liquigas rider Daniele Bennati. He has short legs, long arms and a long torso. So the team’s bike sponsor, Cannondale, built him a custom SuperSix carbon bike, which he has been racing for two and a half months.

Visconti seizes lead at Giro as Priamo wins stage 6 | | For the second day in a row, a breakaway stayed clear of the peloton, with another unsung hero from a smaller team in the form of Matteo Priamo (CSF-Panaria) taking center stage.
Unlike yesterday, the attackers had enough rope to end Franco Pellizotti’s four-day run in the pink jersey. Italian national champion Giovanni Visconti (Quick Step) and German Matthias Russ (Gerolsteiner) ended the day tied on time, but Visconti took the maglia rosa based on differences taken in the team time ... read more | | 15 May 2008 |

Colavita's Tina Pic and Toyota's Hilton Clarke take crit wins and the overall lead in Portland. | | The Mt. Hood Cycling Classic ventured into new territory Wednesday with a new venue for the sixth year of the event: a hilly criterium held in a verdant city park wrapping around a long-extinct volcano.
The new event delivered large crowds and down-to-the-wire racing action that saw the mens and womens overall leads switch hands in the final meters of the crits. The fact that Portland was enjoying some of the nicest weather of the spring only helped improve the festive atmosphere in Mt. ... read more | | 14 May 2008 |

A conversation with Kona's Barry Wicks about targeting the World Cup circuit | | Barry Wicks is already a household name in the domestic cyclocross and mountain bike scene, but this year he is trying his hand at joining mountain bike racing’s elite crowd on the World Cup.
Wicks made his first foray into European World Cup racing in April, racing World Cups in Houffalize, Belgium, Offenburg, Germany and Madrid, Spain. In terms of results, Wicks didn’t blow anyone’s door down. He started at the back of the herd, and had to fight tooth and nail for top-80 results. ... read more | | 14 May 2008 |

Peloton growing peevish over transfers, travails | | Riders are at their wits’ end with the seemingly endless string of transfers, delays and hassles associated with the opening days of the 91st Giro d’Italia.
In the first three stages of racing on Sicily, there were no less than 500km of transfers, nearly as much as the peloton has raced.
Tensions came to a head following the botched ferry transfer across the Straits of Messina from Sicily to Italy on Monday evening, when what should have been a 20-minute ferry ride turned into a ... read more | | 14 May 2008 |

Brutt battles to stage-5 win | | Tinkoff’s Pavel Brutt feinted and feigned his way to victory in the final kilometers of a five-man breakaway that held off the chasing peloton by 30 seconds in Wednesday’s fifth stage at the 91st Giro d’Italia.
The blond Russian said he was too tired to take pulls. He said he had nothing left. And then, a few meters before the 1km flag, Brutt hit the accelerator on the short climbing finish into Contursi Terme to win ahead of his dismayed fellow escapees. It was the first Russian ... read more | | 14 May 2008 |
