Why Pat McQuaid Should Resign
If you hold any kind of high office somebody, somewhere is going to criticize what you do. It’s par for the course, it comes with the territory and is as sure as death, taxes or finding bear shit in a Canadian forest. Just ask any politician or company director and they’ll regale you [...]
Anonymous Leaking
Yeasterday I asked the question “Who Leaked The Landis Emails?” and postulated that only a handful of people actually know who sent the emails to the media.
However, while bookmarking stories in advance of recording Episode 78 tomorrow I noticed an interesting section of a piece on Cyclingnews.com
April 30: Landis sends an e-mail to USA Cycling’s [...]
Who Leaked The Landis Emails?
There are a myriad questions that the Floyd Landis affair poses – is it an affair? A scandal, perhaps? Hmmmm, I like brouhaha. Of course filed under “obvious” are; ‘is it all true?’, ‘can he prove it’, ‘do the diaries exist’, ‘will any of this stand up in a court of law’, or ‘ is [...]
Team Jerseys Can Be Ordered Now
John and I are very proud – and more than a little excited - to announce that you can now buy the VeloCast team jersey from our website.
As we’ve said before, almost from the start of the show we’ve wanted to get a cycling jersey with our logo and “team” colours on it. If only so [...]
Armstrong Abandons In California
Bicycling.com posted this video of Lance Armstrong abandoning the Tour Of California yesterday after a crash. One of the most fascinating parts of it is where, after finally deciding that he shouldn’t go on, Lance asks Johan Bruyneel; “What do I do? I mean, what do I do, where do I go? [...]
The Day After Landis
It will come as no surprise to anyone that a blog post written on a cycling website today is on the subject of Floyd Landis. The shock revelations and accusations that most of us awoke to yesterday have the potential to turn the cycling world upside down as much as the GC at [...]

Leaky Gas
Recording a podcast is always, essentially, a snapshot in time. An hour or so spent in front of a microphone in which you hope to encapsulate your thoughts at that moment – or often the distillation of your thoughts from across the previous week. Mostly it works quite well and John and I [...]
Liz Hatch
Well, received an email today calling Ms Hatch’s media profile into question.
My reply?
“Hey *****
Thanks for getting in touch, much appreciated!
However, I beg to disagree with you re Ms Hatch.
Liz has a clear grasp of her job as a pro racer. Sure, her body is part of the package she’s using to raise [...]
The Price of Obsession
So, we’ve had no Velocasting since the 19th of March. It’s now the 4th of April and still no Episode70.
What gives?
Well, we’ve not gone away, we’re not giving up, the Velocast is still extant…….so why the break?
My fault.
Scotty’s been the Energizer bunny he always is…..but me? Well, I felt a bit burned out. The start [...]
