Davide Formolo’s American dreams

A moment after Davide Formolo took his seat, he was back up again. We was distracted by what we saw from the 17th floor of New York hotel in the Meatpacking District. “It’s the Statue of Liberty,” he said. Even though the 22-year-old rider from San Rocco di Marano di Valpolicella, Italy has been to New York before, as recently as this past October, he was excited to be back, to be in the U.S. for the Cannondale-Garmin team launch. “Here you have California dreams, but in Europe you have American dreams,” Formolo said. It’s a pretty eloquent turn of phrase from a man to says he only knows 100 English words. He’s trying to learn English, but he finds it hard to study after a six-hour bike ride. “You’re very tired, and your head can’t remember nothing,” he said of his post-ride attempts at learning a language. Now, he mostly studies on recovery days. While English will help Formolo on this new U.S.-based team, he does have some teammates who have joined him from the old Italian squad, Cannondale, who speak his first language: Alberto Bettiol, Moreno Moser, Alan Marangoni and Davide Villella. There’s also Ted King, who picked up Italian ...

PHOTO ESSAY: Tour of Beijing, Martin finishes second

Dan Martin sealed his second place overall in the Tour of Beijing today, ending the five day race just three seconds behind the winner Philippe Gilbert (BMC) and showing again that he has hit a form peak towards the end of the season. Martin’s run of form makes up for what was an at-times frustrating season. He crashed on the final bend of Liege-Bastogne-Liege in April, losing his chance of taking a second straight victory, and also fell on the opening stage of the Giro d’Italia, sustaining a fractured collarbone. He missed the Tour de France but bounced back to take second on a stage and seventh overall in the Vuelta a Espana. Bad luck struck him again in the world road race championships when he was caught up in a crash and delayed, losing his chance. However since then things have gone better for him; he put in a superbly-timed attack to win the Il Lombardia Classic earlier this month, then took that stage win plus second overall in the Tour of Beijing. As a former winner of the Japan Cup, Dan will be one of the top favourites for that season-ending event. Photo credits: Graham Watson

Dylan van Baarle wins 2014 Tour of Britain

Dylan van Baarle (Garmin-Sharp) won the Tour of Britain, holding firm to his overall lead during Sunday’s double-stage day in London. Van Baarle triumphed over Michal Kwiatkowski (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) and Bradley Wiggins (Sky) finished third. Olympic champion Wiggins, the first British rider to win the Tour de France in 2013, won the morning’s individual time trial. But as he suspected, Wiggins left himself with too much to do in terms of defending his title. Marcel Kittel (Giant-Shimano) won the afternoon circuit race, taking a bunch sprint ahead of Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma). Photos by Jered Gruber and Slipstreamsports .
