其中最可惜的當屬IAM Cycling,隊經理Serge Beucherie 表示:We are disappointed not to be selected for the Tour de France, mainly because we have the talent and resources. Even though we have not won a great deal, we are on a sporting level to compete at the Tour. Naturally we respect the ASO’s decision, and will only have to work even harder next year.
2. 弗嚕米會不會太快衝上巔峰啊?
從去年威鯨贏了Paris-Nice, the Tour de Romandie, the Dauphiné,車壇就對於SKY 早把主將推上巔峰而議論紛紛
而弗嚕米今年更是從年初就贏了Tour of Oman,但卻在Tirreno-Adriatico 被泥巴裡打敗而吃了鱉,後來又爬起來贏得Tour de Romandie
那...環法到底能不能全梭在弗嚕米身上?
過往兩年的Tour de Romandie 黃衫得主都拿到環法冠軍,因此弗嚕米也會如法炮製的再披黃衫?
計成自己表示:In 2006, I heard that Shimano wanted Chinese riders for their team in Europe. They interviewed me and asked if I could cook by myself and speak English. I answered that cooking is my passion, and I can learn English, so I joined Skil-Shimano in 2007, and I've lived in Hengelo since. You can ask my teammates: I'm the best chef on the team! My speciality is to cook Coca-Cola chicken wings.
接著他表示:With Argos-Shimano, we know how to control the flat stages. Even the riders from other teams like Lotto-Belisol come up to me sometimes and ask, "Hey Cheng, you're gonna pull?" It seems like everyone likes to follow me. Usually, in 10 kilometers, I close a 10-=second gap. I always ride at 75% of my possibilities, so on hard days, I can push more.
I've learned cycling in Europe. When I first arrived, I was shocked to see people sprinting to corners instead of braking. Chinese riders have a lot to learn here, technically and tactically.
在央視記者的溫情採訪之下,他繼續道出心聲:I might not be the most talented cyclist from the country, but I want to show everyone that a Chinese [rider] can also do the job, providing that he acts as a professional. I'm doing these Grand Tours to give inspiration to my compatriots. What I've achieved so far has had some impact back home among the cycling fans, but if I happen to ride the Tour de France next year or the year after, it would be massive for China.
Team work comes first, but winning a race is always in the back of the mind of a racer.

他自己表示:I feel it’s time to dedicate time for myself and to go in search for new interests. My career has been full of satisfactions and enriched by all the most important victories that a rider like me could ever have aimed for. At the threshold of 200 victories in my career, I feel my life reaches a particular moment, a turning point, in which I perceive the need to find a new dimension and to have more time to dedicate to my family. These considerations conclude me to the decision to pause my career.
下面這段話,完全描繪出噴射機的個性
Petacchi was a powerful sprinter but was quiet and reserved. He loved animals and had a parrot at home, using a webcam and an mobile phone to ensure it was okay while he was away at races.
下面兩段評論是最吸引我的
4.1. Sapim straight-pull spokes are used throughout, 18 spokes up front (laced radially) and 24 spokes out back (drive side, radial; non-drive side, 1-cross). External alloy nipples take care of tensioning the spokes. Interestingly, Zipp spent some R&D dollars to engineer a titanium washer for the nipples to reduce the risk of galvanic corrosion that can occur when alloy comes into contact with carbon. A simpler solution would have been brass nipples, however the extra weight of the brass would have been considered a massive faux pas for a performance wheelmaker, so Josh and his team engineered the washers.--就說用銅華司就好了
4.2. Zipp has data demonstrating the Firecrest shape reduces the aerodynamic drag of the 202 clinchers when compared to a standard box section rim but I didn’t notice any savings in effort compared to my regular aluminium clinchers (24 spoke HED Belgium rims). Two weeks later, I swapped the 202s for a set of Mavic R-Sys SLR wheels which, at a claimed 1295g, actually weigh less than the Firecrest 202 clinchers. They also lack any consideration for aerodynamic performance, and indeed, the guys at Roues Artisanales found that an early iteration of Mavic’s R-Sys platform was one of the least aerodynamic wheelsets on the market. The contrast was startling.
I spent two hours on the Mavic wheels and I felt like I was riding through mud the whole time, but I wasn’t convinced it had anything to do with the wheels until I swapped back to the 202s and headed out for a few more kilometers. The difference in effort was remarkable, it was as if I had shifted from the big ring to the small, and I had found a new appreciation for the Firecrest 202s. Indeed, in those first few moments, I was prepared to pay $3000 to keep them on my bike.--MAVIC R-SYS 是舊設計,沒錯!

一放行就攻擊不斷,10km 後才形成兔子群,Sander Armee (Topsport Vlaanderen - Baloise), Bart De Clercq (Lotto), Vincent Jérôme (Europcar), Pirmin Lang (IAM Cycling), Frederik Veucheulen (Vacansoleil) ,Jonathan Fumeaux (IAM Cycling)
過了44km,領先居然拉開14min...長路漫漫,大家都不想太早燒完NOS
來張大合照(幾乎每年都會出現一張)
