  1. This is from some coverage of today's (Wednesday) stage:

    The quote is from Stuart O'Grady.

    "Toulouse is my second home after Adelaide and I wanted to win but there was nothing I could do with
    riders like Carlos Da Cruz riding so negatively and chasing us all down"

    Negative riding--

    Riding backwards?

    Riding with a bad attitude?

    One of those super technical terms that only real cyclists understand?

    A term common in Australia but not elsewhere?

    The article can be read here:

    Riding to prevent others from winning, as opposed to taking action to win oneself.

    Imagine if this guy got himself some clipless pedals and a decent bike (not to mention a mirror)...
    and surely he can get more aero than that...? Maybe the 2004 TdF will have a backwards TTT.
