Four nights down, two to go. The racing was hot in Grenoble, the sideshows, arguably, just as hot. Edmond Hood was on the scene, working hard, making money, and making sure we get the best view possible at one of the six day season's most unique events. Read on!

For a quiet end of season, there is still plenty of Road Trash for the talking today. The World Champ has secured his new team another Wild Card for 2010, the Giro might be heading offshore, more riders depart at Lampre, and there�s news of a new team in the US. It�s all here so let�s get to it.

Let�s say you run a nice little bike race in that draws world champions and millions of fans. Conventional wisdom says, �don�t change a thing.� But Andrew Messick, president of AEG Sports, doesn�t approach the Amgen Tour of California from a conventional point of view � and that�s worked just fine so far.

PEZ Talk: UK's Newest ProTour Rider, Tom Faiers

Message by Edmond Hood
Here at Pez we pride ourselves on being on the case of who's up and coming - but sometimes even Pez misses the boat. The first we heard of Tom Faiers was when he signed recently for Pro Tour team Footon-Servetto; but a quick call to the team's main man - ex-pro Mauro Gianetti, soon had us in communication with the 22 year-old Englishman from Cheltenham, who has the likes of Luis Leon Sanchez and Alejandro Valverde singing his praises.

PEZ-Clusive: His Name Is Clear - Iljo Keisse

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 08:14:57 GMT

Message by Edmond Hood
The cheer from the cabin next door to ours - below the Grenoble velodrome - told us that the result Flanders had been holding its breath for, had arrived. The positif in the 2008 Gent Six Day race from Belgium's number one Six Day man, Iljo Keisse, has been dismissed on the grounds of 'insufficient evidence.' "Cathine was not found in the 'B' sample and HCT was there in quantities so small as to have no effect on performance." Pez was granted the first face to face interview with Iljo, after the result was announced.

Toolbox: Priming the Engine

Message by Dr. Stephen Cheung, Ph.D.
Cyclocross season is steadily progressing from the early season of warm and dry race days to the downright miserable and ugly weather that define the sport. With such nastiness, the temptation may be to skip the warmup and just hammer off the start line. Does a warmup really gain you a concrete advantage, and what type of warm-up might be best?

PEZ Reviews: CRUD Fenders

Message by Richard Pestes
The dust has yet to settle from the storm of Interbike, but the rains have started here at PEZ HQ, and that means time to strap on that piece of rain gear that I estimate provides 50% of your dryness � fenders. So it�s perfect timing that the UK�s CRUD PRODUCTS �Roadracer� fenders emerged from the storm.

Oooh la la it has been a busy past few days in the bike racing world. Thankfully, it's Monday, so I've got a great excuse to do my job: pick up the garbage, sort it, and comment ad nauseam. Grab your tea (tea is good), lock the office door, and enjoy a few minutes of peace...
