It was anounced today that Beñat Intxausti will ride for Euskaltel-Euskadi in 2010. Apparently there is an agreement between the basque rider and his former team boss Mauro Gianetti. Beñat already mentioned that he's happy to finally ride for his own 'tierra', but what will happen with Jorge Azanza. He was the one who got in the team because Beñat didn't, but what will happen with him now? We will find out soon probably...

Jean-René Bernaudeau fait pour notre site le point sur le recrutement des Bbox Bouygues Telecom. Le manager général de la formation vendéenne en profite pour se projeter vers la saison 2010 et annonce l'arrivée d'un nouveau fournisseur de vélos.

Thomas Voeckler a conclu sa saison en prenant une honorable 10e place sur le Chrono des Nations, enlevé par le Kazakhe Alexandre Vinokourov (Astana). Malgré les efforts consentis la veille sur le Tour de Lombardie, le coureur de la Bbox Bouygues Telecom a su faire bonne figure.

Many of you who follow Road Cycling Blog probably wonder why I haven’t posted in over two and half months. It’s not only wrong from a bloggers perspective, it’s down right pathetic. And, for that, I truly apologize.

To be honest, I’ve recently toyed with the idea of shutting this blog down to concentrate on other passions and endeavors. However, after much soul-searching, I realize that the purpose of Road Cycling Blog was birthed simply out of a desire to share my passion toward the wonderful sport of cycling — period. In other words, there were no ulterior motives, no business plan or monetization strategies. Just a simple desire to share thoughts, opinions and ideas about the world of road cycling.

Nevertheless, I’ve come to terms with reality — I simply can’t and won’t update content on a consistent basis. I have too many irons in the fire.

For example, I run a hugely successful blog for chiropractors over at next generation chiropractor. I also run and manage developing others, a web design, development and hosting company specifically for chiropractors. And, just recently, I launched a membership site for chiropractors over at Blogging Chiros.

See my dilemma?

So, instead of shutting Road Cycling Blog down, I’ll use it much like my Posterous account — to stream content that I feel is interesting and worthy to share. This will not only eliminate high expectations from visitors and readers but also will allow me to enjoy the evolution of its content.

In closing, I ran across an amazing video of Danny MacAskill. Even though it’s out of the realm of road cycling, I thought you’d enjoy it as much as I do. Let me know your thoughts!
