Rate The Mate: Lance Armstrong and Ashley Olsen?

Lance, what are you thinking? Laving your wife for Sheryl Crow was one thing, but hooking up with one of the Olsen Twins, that’s just creepy weird.
If the celebrity tabloids are to be believed, the seven-time Tour de France champion has been spotted wining and dining Ms. Olsen and getting cozy around New York […]

Crazy first day at the Tour

Crashes and a Sprint to the finish highlighted day 1 of the tour.
With about 20 Kilometers to go Robbie McEwen crashed. Typically he’d be out… but his team waited for him and pulled him back to the sprinters group. From there he was able to sprint to the finish to take his […]

Swiss takes Prologue

The Tour de France is officially started! and a Swiss, Fabian Cancellara, took the first race of the year, THE Prologue.
In first loser was Andreas Kloeden of Germany who was 13 seconds behind and George Hincapie of the U.S. who was 23 seconds behind. George is a great time trial […]

Tour Starts Saturday!

The 94th annual Tour De France starts THIS saturday with the race prologue. The prologue will be an 8km race around London (which will be sure to make a mess) reaching average speeds that normal people only dream of.
The Tour as always should have it’s share of joys, jubilations and drugs. […]

Friday videos are back and they’re painful

You may have noticed that we took a little time off here at oddsnark. Well, we were, uh, helping to bring malaria medicines to parts of Africa. Yeah, that’s right, we were helping people. You got a problem with that? But whatever the reason, we’re back and better than ever.
Now we want to do a […]

Hooray Chemistry!

At first blush, the news about Floyd Landis failing a second test for doping does seem to be bad news for him and for the sport of cycling. Test results released yesterday confirmed earlier results that the Tour de France winner had elevated levels of testosterone in his system during the crucial Stage 17 when […]

Floyd Landis Not Of This Earth?

After test results showed that Floyd Landis had an unusually high ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone in his urine, the American cyclist claimed in a press conference that he had unusually high levels of testosterone in his body. Well, it seems now that not only is Landis a real manly man, he’s an unnaturally manly […]

French To Ban All Americans From Tour De France Next Year

For the sake of argument, let’s say that the US has a long and proud cycling tradition and that we’ve all been glued to the action during the Tour de France. So we’re all thrilled over Floyd Landis’ victory in the three-week, 3,600-mile race, right? Just nod your head. In all seriousness, it was a […]

One More Reason For The French To Hate Lance Armstrong

Last night hosting the ESPY Awards, Lance Armstrong quipped that the players on France’s World Cup soccer team had all “tested positive… for being assholes.” Today, the seven-time Tour de France champion returned to Gaul and cycled the most gut wrenching stage of the race, up to the top of L’Alpe d’Huez, just for the […]

Pain In The Ass: The Tour De France Is Underway

Now that the World Cup is finally, thankfully over, we can all move on to another Euro-centric sporting event with almost no American storyline, ensuring it will be ignored here in the States: The Tour de France. You remember the Tour, right? Lance Armstrong and yellow jerseys and all that? Well, there’s no Lance this […]
