Giro di PEZ: Bellissime Cinque Terre
Thursday, May 17, 2012 2:18:20 PM PT
 | |
Jack Bauer, no, not the one on the TV - the real one, cooler than that Sutherland guy. The former Kiwi elite national champion has stepped up from Scottish Continental team Endura to the big time with US World Tour outfit, Garmin for 2012. And if you've been watching the Giro on TV then you'll be aware that the man from the other side of the globe is a major part of the Garmin pink machine. We caught up with Jack just before stage 12 to Sestri Levante where the team buses parked up outside a marble cutting yard.

Wednesday, May 16, 2012 3:54:14 PM PT

Giro Counterpoint: David McLean
Saturday, May 05, 2012 2:24:10 AM PT
 | |
The Giro, Liquigas, space age buses, gorgeous PR girls, Ivan Basso, Vincenzo Nibali, bikes into five figure values . . . But there’s another side to Italian Cycling – Continental teams, getting by, low budgets, no stars, no PR and riders making do as they fight to get to Liquigas Nirvana. Take the Italo/Croatian Meridiana Kamen team, and 28 year-old Englishman David McLean, for example.

PEZ Talk: Track Worlds With Andreas Müller
Tuesday, April 24, 2012 1:26:55 PM PT
 | |
The Track Worlds - do they have to be on the same weekend as Paris-Roubaix? For the answer, you would have to ask the UCI – personally, I don’t think it’s a good idea. But the UCI pays little attention to the likes of me.

The Adventures of Gino Bartali Continues
Saturday, April 28, 2012 2:50:07 AM PT
 | |
By 1943, Italy was in chaos. For even a well-known sporting hero such as Gino Bartali, his public profile was no guarantee of his safety. Yet Bartali chose an even more risky course of action, as foreshadowed in Part 1. He would subsequently go on to even greater sporting and public glory.

Monday, April 23, 2012 2:58:43 AM PT

If you’re using Mavic, Bontrager, Campagnolo, Fulcrum or newer Zipp wheels, there’s a good chance that they’ve got Alpina spokes and/or nipples in them. If you’ve got a BMW, Husqvarna or KTM motorcycle with spoked wheels or maybe a set of Borranis, they’re also Alpina’s. How is it that such a prominent Italian company remains virtually unknown? PEZ visits the factory near Milan to find out.
