Vuelta Talk: Footon's Aussie Johnnie Walker
Message by Edmond Hood
‘Johnnie Walker,’ unless you were a Footon-Servetto fan, up until stage two of this year’s Vuelta, you probably thought it was the name of a whisky? But last Sunday the 23 year-old from Sale, Gippsland, Australia was in the limelight of world cycling as ‘moto 1’ which covers the break, focussed on his Footon- Servetto jersey for much of the stage. We interrupted Johnnie’s rest day peace to ask him a few questions.

PEZ Talk: Irish Talent Philip Lavery
Message by Edmond Hood

Some have stepped up with big results and a precious contract for 2011, others have not. PEZ spoke to a man we've been keeping an eye on and who's already racing as a stagiaire with a team that punches above it's weight - AN Post. He's 19 years-old, from Dublin - Mr. Philip Lavery.

Toolbox: On the Road Cuisine
Message by Dr. Stephen Cheung, Ph.D.
For many of us, a highlight of the cycling year is a multi-day cycling event. For some, it’s a stage race. For others, it’s a bike tour. As we know, one of the keys to making such events tolerable, let alone enjoyable, is good food. Eating well and properly is not only good for the morale, but it’s critical in ensuring adequate recovery for another day of hard effort. What do elite cyclists do in terms of eating and energy output over the course of a hard stage race?
