Being out of contact with the news for a week leads to some pretty interesting reading when you return. This week has seen some pretty crazy stuff…. Lance Armstrong had his time trial bike stolen, and as he says on twitter …

Whoa!! They just came to my room and said our truck was broken into and someone stole my time trial bike! Wtf?!? APB out to the twitterati.

Then posted a picture of the bike….  - there was only one in the world so it would be pretty hard to sell on, especially to anyone who had seen the news. Eventually the bike was handed in to the Sacramento Police, but not before Trek had produced another TT bike for Lance with a nice little inscription on it… 

Even with a different bike Lance was on good form, 14th over all (but inside his target of 15th), but not strong enough to attack his team mate Levi Leipheimer who went on to win the Tour of California for the third successive year.

Also in the news was Chris Hoy’s crash in the Keirin at the World Cup, you can see the race and crash on Youtube  or read about it on the BBC or on Cycling Weekly’s site

Lets hope Chris is able to get back to full fitness for next month’s World Championships in Poland.
