The year's first monument looms - Saturday will be the first real date with destiny for our sport's heroes in 2010. The 300km from Milano to Sanremo await, but first, the final preparations are being taken care of. Paris-Nice just wrapped up yesterday with a fine Contador on top, and now all that's left are two more stages in Tirreno-Adriatico - then it's all aboard the MSR Express. Let's take a look at the news as we hurtle toward the Big Day.

Sunday, March 14, 2010 10:02:34 PM PT
 | |
White road sector 5. The race has passed and I’m back to the car on the top of Monte Sante Marie. All team cars are rolling out and we are waiting the ‘FINE CORSA’ van that officially closes the race. The team cars with the special blue decals are parked near me and also keeping advantage to get in that queue.

Sunday, March 14, 2010 9:30:39 PM PT
 | |
In a world of 'Plans' and 'Programmes' it's good to see a young man take his bike and a handful of pounds/dollars/euros and head for the Heartland. Tobyn Horton from The Channel Islands was one such young man whose name kept catching our eye in the Belgian kermesse results. He's recently signed a pro contract with Anglo-Swedish squadra Team Sprocket Pro Cycling - we thought we'd have a word...

The last time we spoke to 22 year-old Englishman Alex Dowsett he’d just finished a fine seventh in the World Under 23 Time Trial Championship. At that stage he wasn’t sure about his team for 2010 - then along came Trek-Livestrong. We caught up with him on a bright morning in his new base at Boulder, Colorado.

Friday, March 12, 2010 2:58:52 PM PT
 | |
Last year, international newspapers were abuzz with the latest doping scandal that netted some pretty big players. Although cyclists naturally wince at such headlines, this time it wasn’t us. It was the wine estates of Montalcino, Italy with their treasured Brunello. Sometimes it is worth going through your neighbor’s dirty laundry to appreciate your own. PezSommelier, Corey Sar Fox, takes an offbeat look at the wines, and whines of these confusing times.

Berta, Cipressa, Poggio… three girls I dated in high school? I wish. Considering the form, the curves, and the mystique that each of these capi add to the season’s first and longest Classic – well, let’s just say I should have been so lucky as to ride… I mean date… these hills, I mean girls.

Eat To Compete: Seafood Stew
Friday, March 12, 2010 1:24:56 AM PT
 | |
The salty air of the Mediterranean Sea hits you long before its azure blue comes into view. And while the ProTour boys continue their race to the sun, it’s unlikely they’re enjoying the kind of cuisine southern France is best known for. But there’s no better way to celebrate “The Race to the Sun” than with a light, bright, and lean seafood stew. So grab your mussels, clams, and Provencal herbs and get to it.

Wednesday, March 10, 2010 10:24:18 PM PT

Jalan Tun Perak is where I am in the world right now. It is the epitome of a bustling Asian city, with heaps of energy and people going in every direction, and the faint smell of spices and dried fish - Kuala Lumpur feels edgy, but happy-go-lucky at the same time.

E is for Heroic: The Strangely Beautiful L’Eroica
Wednesday, November 05, 2008 11:40:21 AM PT
 | |
Travel: The roads beneath your wheels are unpaved, hard packed white earth – “strade bianche’, the ride rolls before sun up, and you’re surrounded by cycling ghosts from the last century – it’s L’Eroica.

Roadside PEZ: The Strade Bianche
Tuesday, March 09, 2010 10:55:40 AM PT
 | |
Roadside PEZ: I confess. I couldn’t wait to get there. It was snowing last Friday, on the Adriatic coast. A bad winter afternoon, probably one of the last. Where is the Primavera? It was snowing but I was looking forward to chase one of the most alluring races of the Pro calendar. It’s just four years old but smells of the good old times. Has not past, but finds on the dusty gravel its future. It’s the Strade Bianche or, if you prefer, the Eroica.
