13/07/2009 Road: Tour de France - Stage 9
Fedrigo claims another stage for France
July 12, Stage 9: Saint-Gaudens - Tarbes 160.5km
Last week Bouygues Telecom celebrated team manager Jean-Rénè Bernaudeau's birthday with a stage win for Thomas Voeckler. Today it was party time again as Pierrick Fedrigo added to his tally of Tour de France stage victories with an emphatic performance that climaxed as he crossed the line ahead of day-long breakaway companion Franco Pellizotti.
Historic Tarbes was last used for a finish on Stage 13 of the 1951 Tour when Raphaël Géminiani won a four-man bunch sprint but was later disqualified, but Fedrigo encountered no such problem Sunday.

10/07/2009 Road: Tour de France - Stage 6
The rain in Spain causes many riders pain
July 9, Stage 6: Gérone - Barcelone 181.5km
Hushovd tops uphill sprint
Thor Hushovd (Cervelo Test Team) wins the bunch sprint at the end of stage six.
"Rising from the city's heart is Montjuich, the magic mountain where from its crest, one can see why this Spanish coastal city is favoured by so many, open to the sea and embracing its rich inheritance and identity," reads the Tour de France guide of Barcelona.
Leading to the two-kilometre-long finishing climb on a miserable, rain-soaked Thursday afternoon, Thor Hushovd rose from the depths of the peloton, bided his time, then in the last 200 metres, ripped out the hearts of his adversaries with an unmatched final turn of speed, firmly establishing his first-year Cervélo TestTeam as a green jersey contender at the 2009 Tour de France.

July 8, Stage 5: Le Cap d'Agde - Perpignan 196.5km
Voeckler once more the darling of France
Frenchman Thomas Voeckler (BBOX Bouygues Telecom wins after a long day in a break.
Another day, another maillot jaune for Cancellara
Lethargy on behalf of the peloton resulted in the first successful breakaway Wednesday in Perpignan, and the re-emergence of Thomas Voeckler as the darling of the Tour de France.
Away in an escape for almost the whole stage from Le Cap D'Agde, 196.5 kilometres from their destination, it appeared at first that this was just going to be another misguided breakaway attempt, as so many of its kind are. And similar in difficulty to the third stage to La Grande-Motte that caught out all bar 28 riders, this time with the Tramontane wind blowing south from the Pyrenées, most believed the real race was behind in the peloton, not with the six hopefuls in front.

July 7, Stage 4: Montpellier - Montpellier (TTT) 39km
Four years on, it's still Armstrong's team who lays down the law
Team Astana come to the line with the best time.
Cancellara retains Golden Fleece by 22/100ths of a second
It was four years to this day when, on the fourth stage of the 2005 Tour de France, a team called Discovery Channel set an incredible average of 57.324 kilometres an hour to take victory in a 67.5-kilometre team time trial from Tours to Blois.
Helped by Dave Zabriskie's dramatic final kilometre crash that saw him lose his maillot jaune, the CSC team lost the stage by two seconds and swallowed another bitter pill when the hallowed golden tunic crossed shoulders to Lance Armstrong, who, as history now tells us, went on to capture his seventh Tour scalp.
Back in France after a four-year absence, and once more on a team time trial held on the fourth stage, Armstrong did almost the same thing again Tuesday in Montpellier.

07/07/2009 Road: Tour de France 09 - Stage 2
July 5, Stage 2: Monaco - Brignoles 187km
Goal 1 of 2 complete: Cavendish no failure in Brignoles; Cancellara keeps maillot jaune, but the heat is on in Provence
Mark Cavendish (Columbia-HTC) wins stage two of the 2009 Tour de France.
Ever since he took the race every sprinter longs to win at the precocious age of 24, the fastest, strongest and smartest sprinter in the world has virtually done no wrong.
n what was a messy final thousand metres that rather comically left three Columbia-HTC riders - George Hincapie, Mark Renshaw and Cavendish - pitted against Tyler Farrar of Garmin-Slipstream, the squad owned by entrepreneur Bob Stapleton showed how they thrive at the height of chaos, Hincapie dropping off 800 metres from the line, Renshaw at 250, then 'Cav' methodically finishing it off.
"The last k' was anything but difficult," Cavendish said. "Before that, it was a bit physical but it's always going to be - it's the Tour de France. Everyone wants to win, but we had eight guys keeping me out of trouble at the front.

Goal 1 of 2 complete: Cavendish no failure in Brignoles; Cancellara keeps maillot jaune, but the heat is on in Provence
Mark Cavendish (Columbia-HTC) wins stage two of the 2009 Tour de France.
Ever since he took the race every sprinter longs to win at the precocious age of 24, the fastest, strongest and smartest sprinter in the world has virtually done no wrong.
n what was a messy final thousand metres that rather comically left three Columbia-HTC riders - George Hincapie, Mark Renshaw and Cavendish - pitted against Tyler Farrar of Garmin-Slipstream, the squad owned by entrepreneur Bob Stapleton showed how they thrive at the height of chaos, Hincapie dropping off 800 metres from the line, Renshaw at 250, then 'Cav' methodically finishing it off.
"The last k' was anything but difficult," Cavendish said. "Before that, it was a bit physical but it's always going to be - it's the Tour de France. Everyone wants to win, but we had eight guys keeping me out of trouble at the front.

07/07/2009 Road: Tour de France 09 - Stage 3
July 6, Stage 3: Marseille - La Grande-Motte 196.5km
Cavendish wins dramatic stage into La Grande-Motte
Armstrong adds an unexpected twist to the leader board.
Unassuming Monday afternoon heading to the luxuriant coastal town of La Grande-Motte, the Columbia-HTC team decided to take the Tour de France on and hit it for six.
Before the 96th Tour began, many commented on the apparent strength of Astana which boasts general classification contenders Alberto Contador, Lance Armstrong and Levi Leipheimer in their midst. But combined and riding as one today was not Astana, but the American-owned team who last week picked up a new sponsor, HTC. Columbia-HTC proved most powerful team during stage 3.
After eight Columbia-HTC riders forced a perilous 28-man move to go clear some 32-kilometres from the finish and send the rest into panic, they still had the energy and ability to control the race right to the line. While the preceding kilometres were unique, the scenario in the final five-hundred metres had an uncanny sense of déjà-vu, as lead-out man extraordinaire Mark Renshaw and Mark Cavendish played a familiar final hand to give the young Briton his sixth career Tour stage and fifteenth win of the season.

21/10/2008 Road: Powernet Tour of Southland
The Surgery family are excited to again be a part of New Zealand’s premier Tour, particularly as one of the Surgery’s busiest stores is situated in Invercargill – Owned and run by top blokes Ryan Cull and Glen Thomson….themselves experienced Tour campaigners (not to mention their Olympic attendances and Commonwealth Games medals!).
The Surgery team has perfected the art of balancing performance and a good time. This is important in a Tour like Southland which can present riders with horrendous weather conditions…..we believe it’s important to have fun so the cold, wind, rain and hail don’t crack you!! Further, it is a continuously proven fact that good fun correlates to top performances – the Surgery team taking the overall win in 2006 with Olympian Hayden Roulston at the helm! Go the ‘08 boys!!

02/08/2007 Mountain Biking: Motatapu Article
The mechanics of the Motatapu Icebreaker
"Over recent
years, supporting
events has become
a business in itself."
Cycle Surgery has enjoyed
tremendous growth over
the past three years.
Since opening it’s second
franchise store in Cromwell a
little over two years ago, Dave
Thomson and Paul Gough
have gone on to open franchises
in Invercargill, Nelson and
Middlemarch (which focuses on the Central Otago Rail Trail).
Amongst the benefits of having a strong network of stores South
Island-wide, is the ability to ‘get-in-behind’ numerous cycling based
sporting events and fundraisers. Cycle Surgery is well-known for its
strong community involvement.
Cycle Surgery’s role in the Motatapu Icebreaker is to provide mechanical
assistance to all competitors. Not only do they have an events
bus with a complete mobile workshop, but have fantastically skilled
and qualified bike mechanics who ride the course primarily to provide
mechanical assistance to those who require it.
Not only does Cycle Surgery get you through the race, it gets
you to the start. As well as stocking a great selection of bikes and
accessories perfect for the Motatapu Icebreaker and other biking
liaisons; Cycle Surgery perform the compulsory safety checks on
all competitor’s bikes and helmets – your safety is our paramount
focus.
For any information or advice on all things pedal-powered talk
to the Cycle Surgery staff at any of their stores – Dunedin, Cromwell,
Invercargill, Nelson or Middlemarch. Not only do they sell
and fix bikes, they live for bikes!
