We cover all aspects of cycling by being there, in the mix:  from the local "10" mile time trial to the world-famous professional "monuments" - classics like Milan-SanRemo and the Tour of Lombardy, to the World Championships, the winter Six-Days and the Grand Tours - the Tour de France, the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a España. We attend many local races as well as work on the European professional circuit.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wouter Weylandt tragically lost his life today, in a crash on the twisty, steep dangerous descent of the Passo del Bocco climb, about 12.4-miles from the finish of stage three of the Giro.

The briefest of pictures of the scene were shown on live TV before the broadcasting director wisely stopped showing any more, but that was enough to be able to tell that the situation was grave.

The Leopard-Trek rider quickly received emergency treatment at the scene of the accident from the race doctor, race emergency services and team doctors, where adrenaline and atropine injections were administered and cardiac massage carried out for more than half an hour but it wasn't enough to save the 26-year-old.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To appreciate how big a deal it was for Luis Alberto (Lucho) Herrera to win the 1987 Vuelta, it’s best to read the passage in Lucy Fallon and Adrian Bell’s book, ‘Viva la Vuelta’ where they talk about the closing stage into Madrid.

‘Back home in Colombia, the radio commentary and TV coverage had the population mesmerised. With the entire country at a standstill, it made sense to declare the final day of the Vuelta a national holiday. The streets of Bogota were deserted until Lucho crossed the final line. Then the nation exploded in joy, the first heart attack victim was registered, and the partying began in earnest.’]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[T-Mobile, Slipstream and HTC stalwart Adam Hansen; a key cog in the 'Cavendish sprint machine,' surprised many when he decided to leave the US team and follow HTC's 'other sprinter,' Andre Greipel to Lotto. But that's not all!

We're delighted to announce that Adam will be blogging right here on VeloVeritas throughout the season, from the early dust-off scraps in Australia and the South of France, through the historic spring monuments and onto the Tour de France! You'll be able to follow Adam's progress as he takes Andre to the front of the bunch and duels with his old team's Cavendish sprint train, and read what it's really like, from someone on the inside of the ProTour peloton.

As Adam entered the final phase of his preparation for the Australian National championships - he's been on the road race podium and the top step for the time trial in the past - we spoke with the ex-mountain biker, self confessed 'computer nut' and fan of HTC mobile telephones, to conduct this off-beat introductory interview. Enjoy!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the news on Friday that Peter Post had died in Amsterdam at the age of 77 the sport lost one if it’s Colossi. Born in Amsterdam in November 1933, the son of a butcher, he had a hard childhood growing up in Nazi occupied Holland.

He turned professional in 1956 for Legendary Amsterdam bicycle makers RIH Sport; he would remain in the peloton until 1972 having ridden for some of the most famous teams in the history of cycle sport – Flandria, Faema, Solo-Superia and Willem 11.

There are three distinct aspects to Peter Post’s career, all of which are characterised by amazing versatility.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here in the UK we've been hammered recently by the weather; for the last few weeks Scotland in particular has resembled an Arctic landscape, with blizzards, white-outs, and motorways frozen closed for days - any bike riding that's been done has been in the garage on the rollers, or spinning down the at the gym. The last few days however, have seen a significant rise in temperature and the resultant thaw has us getting the overshoes looked out again, and the lights back on the bike, ready for recommencing the daily commute, training, and some off-road night riding too.

Before the Ice-Age took hold, we managed to get our hands on a son a Chinese made Magicshine MJ-816 Front Light Set, and I've have been using them during my night-time rides to and from work, and in the local forest trails with pals - here's how it's gone...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The launch of next year's Giro d'Italia route a few weeks ago saw Campagnolo offer a sneak peak of it's new-for-2011 electronic 11-speed groupset, fitted to a sleek black and pink Pinarello.  It was said at the presentation that only the new Movistar team will be using the equipment next season, and even then only in the Giro, but we'll see.

Given that Shimano's Di2 system has been commercially available for quite a while now, it could be argued that Campagnolo have taken their time to get to market with electronic gearing, but they're obviously focused on getting it all perfect before launching, as it's nearly four years ago that we spoke to Predictor-Lotto's Bert Roesems, who had been singled out by the Italian company to use their electronic components in the toughest test arena of them all - the Spring Classics. We thought it would be interesting to revisit what Bert thought of the kit all that time ago...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[‘Unluckiest man of the race was Laurent Fignon (Renault) who escaped alone on the climb of the Cote de la Madelaine, only to crash when leading by 37 seconds with only 18 kilometres to go.’

That was how Britain’s Cycling Weekly magazine recorded my first ever memory of the man; cycling on British TV was rare back then but those producers know a good image when they see one and I must have seen that footage of the Frenchman’s bottom bracket axle breaking and catapulting him over the ‘bars to end up sitting on the tarmac a hundred times.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you talk about Orbea bicycles and the Euskaltel team, it’s about more than light alloy and carbon; it’s about people, national identity, unity and pride. On the Tour, many of the teams will have the team vehicles parked ‘wagon train’ style or have ‘crime scene’ tapes to keep the civilians at bay. Not at Euskaltel.

Riders, mechanics, kids, old folks, journos, camera crews and anyone else who’s in the neighbourhood mill around in happy confusion – but the job still gets done.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ed and I spent a week recently working on the Giro d'Italia, and after doing quite a few trips like this we have our routine down to a tee; we always travel light, just carry-on baggage: it makes getting through airport security checks and moving around in a hire car for a week or two far easier.

Since we've got cameras, laptops, BlackBerrys, all the related paraphenalia to go with such as cables and chargers, and we know we'll collect a lot of extra stuff when we're on the race, such as roadbooks, race manuals and so on, there's not much room left for anything else in our wee trolley bags. As we often find when it's time to fly home and our bags are weighed!]]></description>
