The Ateneo Blue Eagles have done it again! We are the champions this year! And of the three, this could arguably be the sweetest because of so many things! We lost three key players, we lost a game to La Salle, we lost the two elimination games against FEU, and we had NO ONE in [...]

Giro d’Italia – LIVE!!!
Posted by carambs on May 20th, 2008
After a few days of searching the net for Giro d’Italia videos or streaming feeds, I found THIS! Absolutely amazing! The site lists down ALL the options for the viewers. The best feed is Pop TV, where you can mix and match the video and audio. Right now we are watching the RAI.it video, but [...]

Posted by carambs on May 12th, 2008
I’m still trying to figure out how to watch the Giro!!! Argh! Anyway, the main story for Stage 1 is that David Zabriskie of Slipstream had to leave because of a crash. The crash actually affected many riders, including Astana riders, but Zabriskie was very shaken and had to be taken to the hospital. I’m [...]

Posted by carambs on May 10th, 2008
The American teams dominated the first stage of the Giro d’ Italia with Slipstream coming in first, and High Road coming in third. Astana came in seventh, not bad considering they were not able to prepare as much as the other teams, and there are sixteen teams all in all. There are talks that the [...]

Posted by carambs on May 8th, 2008
Good news to US Postal/Discovery/Astana fans out there! I just found out that Astana was invited to be part of the Giro d’ Italia! Eat that, Tour de France! This is really good news. Astana has been doing really well in the competitions they’ve been joining. It will be a challenge for the team though [...]
A mess that is called CYCLING.
Posted by carambs on February 28th, 2008
Here’s the story. The Amaury Sport Organization, otherwise known as ASO, the organizer of cycling’s best events such as the Tour de France and Giro d’ Italia, has not invited Astana to the Giro and the Tour this year. This is because they were BURNED by all the events during the past two years, which [...]
Tour of California
Posted by carambs on February 21st, 2008
I’m pleasantly surprised to find out that 1) the Tour of California is well on its way and 2) Levi is leading! It says a lot about Astana, a new team after the revamp. I’m very excited for the team, but I still can’t believe that Astana will not be part of the Tour (Hey [...]
Astana not part of the Tour!
Posted by carambs on February 18th, 2008
Just when I thought Astana will be the team to beat in this year’s Tour de France, I find out that the team was not invited to participate. WHAT?! After building an awesome team led by Contador, Levi and Kloden, they don’t get to join? I understand that ASO is wary because of what happened [...]
Crazy Tour de France
Posted by carambs on August 19th, 2007
Yes, Tour de France 2007 is over. It was a weird tour – really exciting, disappointing, shocking – definitely a roller coaster ride for the fans. After my last Tour post, all the excitement and shocking news happened, from the Alps to the Pyrenees to the last time trial and to Paris.Vino, the number one [...]
Tour de France Review: Prologue to Stage 6
Posted by carambs on July 14th, 2007
It has been crazy in the office the past week so I wasn’t able to closely follow the Tour! I’ve been relying on the headlines of the different cycling sites. Good for me that the first few stages are flat stages, which are not as exciting as the mountain stages. Thank God for the weekend, [...]
