Tour de Pez: In The Land Of Money!
Thursday, July 02, 2009 5:21:32 PM PT
 | |
TDF Teams Presentation: Monaco means money, lots of money, and when you ask people for an adjective to describe the place they'll say wealthy ... or expensive! I won't speculate how far the Pez budget will stretch if I get mysteriously misdirected back from the Tour de France launch via the famous Casino... but why would I when there's a bike race launch to cover?!

Tour de Pez: Saxo Waxes TDF
Thursday, July 02, 2009 11:37:24 AM PT
 | |
It's always fun and games when Bjarne Riis hits the stage for a pre-Tour press conference, but most of today's belly laughs came courtesy of good ol' Jens Voigt with a couple of cracking one-liners and no messing put-downs. PEZ is live at the Tour, and here's report 'numéro un'.

Thursday, July 02, 2009 7:50:48 AM PT
 | |
As the clock winds down to the Tour start, the favorites are quietly readying themselves for their respective Yellow Jersey runs. And for our part, no pre-Tour frenzy would be complete without a closer look at the riders that should animate the general classification for the next three weeks. Let's take a gander at the possibilities.

Tour de France Through The Decades: The 70's!
Thursday, July 02, 2009 7:39:08 AM PT
 | |
Sunday July 20th 1969; that’s 40 years ago now but I remember it clearly as the day that I first became aware of professional bicycle racing – I was 14 years-old. I walked in to the living room of our little flat in Kirkcaldy, Scotland and glanced at the black and white TV in the corner; the evening news had just begun and the picture was of a cycling track with the stands crammed to capacity.

EuroTrash Thursday!
Thursday, July 02, 2009 1:45:29 AM PT
 | |
It’s Casino Royale, Tour de France style as the world’s biggest bike race descends on the principality of Monaco. The team presentations and press conference will fill the next two days, but before we get to that there is some serious Pre-Tour Trash to sift through.

Meet the PEZ Crew: Gordan Cameron
Wednesday, July 01, 2009 6:14:49 AM PT
 | |
This is Gordan’s second year “Roadside” on the Tour for PEZ, so it was time we found out what's behind his words and let me tell you, there is a lot more to this guy than watching bike races! From live radio reports to growing his own food and like all of us at Pez, riding his bike...

PEZ Talk: Timmy Duggan's Comeback
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 9:49:51 AM PT
 | |
Comebacks are great, the return from a severe, potentially life-threatening injury, like in the case of Garmin's Timmy Duggan, is nothing short of inspiring. Turning a comeback into a leap forward in performance? That is something on an entirely bigger level, something that Timmy Duggan managed to pull off at the Dauphine Libere in June when he very nearly sprinted to victory. 2nd place was an incredible stamp of return for the Coloradoan.

TDF'09: What's Cool About Le Tour
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 9:32:00 AM PT
| |
The Grand Depart is only three days distant. Let's go back and take a look at our original thoughts on the route - before the exact details were laid before us, before many things had happened. It’s the biggest thing in cycling, but before we get all pontificant on predictions, let’s just step back and consider what makes the 2009 race cool…

British Road Champs '09: PEZ On The Scene
Monday, June 29, 2009 5:57:42 AM PT
 | |
Despite the presence of stars like David Millar and Bradley Wiggins (Garmin) and Mark Cavendish (Columbia) it was British home pro stalwart, Kristian House (Rapha Condor) who was smartest and strongest after a sun drenched 100 miles around the Welsh - turned Belgian for the day - town of Abergavenny.

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. In early October, Peter Easton of VeloClassic Tours led a group of guests into the cold, and into an historic time-warp.

Eat To Compete: Belgian Mussels
Friday, May 01, 2009 9:07:13 AM PT
 | |
When I think of the Northern Classics, I think of 3 things: Belgium, beer and frites. But if I was to make anything that resembled the riders’ diets over this couple of weeks it would contain far too much mud or dust to be palatable, let alone be a tasty, appealing meal. Luckily the Pez himself had a better idea: Mussels.

GIRO '05: Inside The Presentation
Sunday, January 23, 2005 2:09:57 PM PT
 | |
The 2005 Giro d’Italia route was unveiled in typical Italian fashion and flair Saturday, and PEZ was there, rubbing shoulders with the extremely well-dressed and well–coiffed crowd. We also scored an invite to the pre-Giro presentation press conference at the Gazzetta Dello Sport Headquarters in Milan. Here’s how it looked…
