A man who knew how to train properly to overcome adversity was Johan Museeuw. He was known for his gradual approach to training, his belief in his training ideas and his ability to focus on training so he could return to racing when his cycling career seemed to be over - a couple of times ... A wicked crash on the slick cobblestones of the Arenberg Forest in the 1998 Paris-Roubaix, the queen of one-day racing classics, almost ended his career. Gangrene set in because of improper cleaning of a

{gallery}riders/taylorp{/gallery}You knew this was going to happen sooner or later ...

So, what's a stagiaire? It's a French word for trainee or intern. In cycling, it's used to describe a young rider who joins an established team but is not yet a full-time racer on the team. It's essentially a

Redemption! ... After yesterdays confusing go-slow finish, Thor Hushovd received his redemption ... Hesjedal going it alone on the cobbles ... The racing on todays critical stage 3 over the cobbles proved a delight for some and misery for others. Frank Schleck abandon after falling on the cobbles with a broken collarbone. Bad luck for brother Andy as his 'part two' will be missing especially on the key mountain stages. Saxo Bank has one of the strongest teams as Cancellara shepherded Andy

Three bike changes for Sylvain Chavanel cost him the yellow jersey on Tuesday as Fabian Cancellara regained the overall lead of the Tour de France ... Cancellara powered himself back into first place at the front of a peloton split into smaller groups by seven sections of cobblestones in the 132-mile stage in the Paris-Roubaix's "Hell of the North" locale ... Lance Armstrong fell out of the top 10 and lost time to other top contenders, such as Andy Schleck, Cadel Evans and Alberto Contador. The

As you may have noticed, the Tour de France bicycle race is underway (as is my Tour de France-themed webular log for Universal Sports, which you can find here) ... So far, the riders have been beset by crashes, and since today's race incorporates "samples" from Paris-Roubaix many people are speculating that the peloton will go down like Jenga blocks on the hood of a Chevy Nova ... In particular, many fear for Alberto Contador, who does not have much " savoir pavé ," and they're acting like the

Tourmalet ... I can't wait for July 3rd, for the start of Le Tour is in Rotterdam with the 8km TT. Organizers revealed an increasingly degree of difficulty thus turning up a huge notch on the excitement meter. But as the Dutch door closes the Belgium door opens with three stages with the most demanding on stage 3. A Franco-Belgian pave tandem of seven beautiful cobble sectors totaling 13.2 km with three sectors in Belgium and four in France. A little of Paris-Roubaix will be borrowed as one of
