'Dale Posted April 28, 2014 Share NEW BIKE TECH FROM LBL Specialized confirmed that Kreuziger was aboard a prototype frame on Sunday, but would not provide details on the bike. “Specialized relies on feedback from professional athletes in developing and testing advanced prototypes in real-world applications. We call these bikes Project Black,” Specialized spokesperson Chris Reikert Read more at http://velonews.competitor.com/2014/04/bikes-and-tech/spotted-kreuziger-rides-new-specialized-road-frame-liege_325609#H50txYvFVPQRmd1L.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted April 29, 2014 Share So we are done for the 2014 Classics. LBL was a fast tough one, hard to break with attacks and real bad luck for Dan. Good to see Mikal up there, expect to see more of him in the future I reckon. And a nice guy: reserved, no show-boating, and letting the action speak. Nowhere near done with Classics Summer Classics and Autumn Classics to come and we still have Ill Lombardia to look forward to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted April 29, 2014 Share Nice analysis of how the results over the Classics may reflect parity (level playing field) with not one team or individual dominating. Really hope so. See velonews main page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted April 29, 2014 Share Very appreciative and insightful segment on the life of a domestique: A word or three should be spared too for Katusha’s Caruso, who was caught within sight of the line after a hugely spirited effort alongside Domenico Pozzovivo. Caruso reflected at the end on the emotional toil of coming so close to a major win only to be overtaken in the final meters. “I think I’ll experience this sadness for a very long time because chances are I won’t find myself in such a position to win such a big race in the future,” he said. “I had good condition and when ‘Purito’ went out of the race, we were given the freedom to ride for ourselves and I was ready to do that. I’ve done everything in the past few weeks to have good condition. I’ve been away from my family now for almost a month and a half so I dedicate this ride to my children whom I haven’t seen in such a long time." And there, in a nutshell, is the fate of the domestique. They work so very hard to attain good condition in the first place, then toil away in the service of their leader to try to deliver him to victory. There are times however, when a domestique may be in the form of his life and even stronger than his leader, but they so rarely get the chance to show us – and themselves – what they can do.
