PEZ Previews: The 2008 Tour Of California
Thursday, November 15, 2007  8:53:04 AM PT
  The route for the 2008 Tour of California was announced a few days ago, and the third incarnation of the ever bettering romp along the Left Coast could provide some even better racing than in years past - certainly tougher racing. PEZ takes a closer look with the help of California native and TOCA TT standout last year, Ben Jacques-Maynes.

Lombardia '07: Looking Back PEZ-Style
Monday, October 22, 2007  4:00:11 AM PT
  Siena, Tuscany 06.45 Monday, sitting among the business men, bantering and drinking espresso before they head for their desks. As a wise man once said; "even if you win in the rat-race, you're still a rat!" My thoughts aren't of deals or euros, my head is still far north of here, in Lombardy.

Lombardia ’07: The Kid Rocks Como!
Saturday, October 20, 2007  10:26:35 AM PT
  Damiano ‘Kid’ Cunego walked – and rode - like a man today in Como, handily outsprinting Saunier-Duval’s Ricardo Ricco to take top spot in the season-closing Race of the Falling Leaves. But with all the favorites together in the final kms, it was a true nail-biter and the zesty peppering of attacks made this one ‘molto caldo’…

Thursday, October 18, 2007  7:07:27 PM PT

Lombardia 1905: Gerbi The "Red Devil"
Thursday, October 18, 2007  12:53:15 PM PT
  The Giro di Lombardia was born in 1905, and Giovanni Gerbi – called the red devil – was the first winner. The story of his break – planned in a devilish way, and realized with so much strength – has become a well known legend, which has the taste of a fable both ingenious and malicious.

PEZ Presents: The 1952 Giro Di Lombardia
Wednesday, October 17, 2007  12:15:49 PM PT
  Utter confusion was the look on my face when Alessandro handed me the old newspaper and said it was a gift. Upon closer inspection, I realized I was holding the official program of the 1952 Giro di Lombardia – in mint condition! Once I got over the shock that such a treasure still existed – I couldn’t wait to share it with PEZ-Fans…

Lombardia ‘97 Retro: Let's Make A Deal!
Monday, October 15, 2007  12:25:35 PM PT

Our Italian correspondent Ale Federico gets us started with his replay of the 1997 edition, where the outcome was enough to makes cynics of us all.

ParisTours'07: Ale! Ale! Ale!
Sunday, October 14, 2007  1:28:34 PM PT
  After an action packed day of racing with multitudes of different breaks and a swing for the fences end of the race high powered move - it all came down to a free-for-all bunch sprint on the Avenue de Grammont, the race lived up to its nickname as the Alpe D'Huez for Sprinters today, and what better sprinter than one Alessandro Petacchi?

Paris-Tours'07: The Sprinters' Classic?
Friday, October 12, 2007  7:44:01 AM PT
  A straight line of almost three kilometres with not an obstacle in sight: the Avenue de Grammont in Tours can lay claim to one of the most prestigious finishing straights in all of cycling, rivalled perhaps only by the Via Roma in San Remo and the Champs-Élysées in Paris. This weekend will see a return to the Avenue de Grammont, but the big question is whether a breakaway can hold off the sprinters for the ninth time in eleven years.

Giro dell'Emilia: The Race Under The Arches
Thursday, October 11, 2007  11:35:00 AM PT
  In seven days, cycling will depart from the European roads until February. The Giro di Lombardia will be, as usual, the last Classic of the year; a sort of final revenge for the few who still have the power to fight for a part of history. But, before the 'Classic of the Lake', one race on the Italian calendar promises one of the most interesting and fascinating battles of the year: the Giro dell'Emilia.
