Eurobike 2010: FSA creeps another step closer to new complete road group
from Cyclingnews Features on 9/2/10 11:22 PM
FSA finally showed off a new transmission at this year's Eurobike show, though it still wasn't the road system that we've now been waiting years to see. Instead, FSA displayed new time trial/triathlon-specific bar end shifters plus a pair of derailleurs to go with them – all under the Vision label.

from Cyclingnews News Headlines on 9/2/10 11:02 PM
While Norwegian Thor Hushovd has not been able to beat the world's top sprinters this season, he still proved he has what it takes to win in the Vuelta a España's sixth stage to Murcia.

It was the third Vuelta stage of his career, with today's win adding to one in Cuenca (2005) and Leon in 2006. ...

Rabobank's Oscar Freire couldn't contest yesterday's sprint finish in Murcia after breathing difficulties forced the veteran fast man into 120th place, over 10 minutes behind stage winner Thor Hushovd (Cervélo TestTeam).

Eurobike 2010: Reynolds Cycling revamps road range
from Cyclingnews Features on 9/2/10 8:47 PM
Reynolds Cycling has trickled several features from its range topping RZR 92 down to its inline road collection for 2011 while mountain bikers can look forward to easier tubeless compatibility on the off-road range. Of all the changes, Reynolds' road consumers are most likely to benefit from the new braking surface, which skips the old scrim layer in favor of a new laminate and special heat-conductive resins that the company claims are better able to dissipate energy. When combined with Reynolds' ...

"My form is good," said the newly-mustachioed Italian prior to the start of stage six in Caravaca de la Cruz. "I'm getting better and better. In the first two hilly finishes I was up there helping Joaquin ...
