When the stakes are high, all the little imperfections in the most high octane personalities tend to make themselves known.  Hotheaded rival sports stars and jealous teammates who have grown tired of their teammates’ media attention or even repetitive mistakes often snap under just the right conditions, leading to all out war on the playing field — but not between one team and another. Sadly, these brawls often take place right on the same team.

The following video shows ten of the most famous teammate fights recorded on camera.

• The cyclist an winner, Cadel Evans, was born in Australia on February 14, 1977.
• He started out in the late 1990s as a mountain bike winning the World Cup two years in a row, 1998 and 1999.
• In 2001 Evans went to road cycling full-time.  Every year since he improved in rankings.
• In 2007 he was the first Australian to win the UCI Pro Tour.  The year 2009 he won the UCI Road World Championship, again as the first Australian to do so.
• This year, 2011, Cadel Evans was one of the five oldest cyclists in history to win the Tour de France.  At 34 he finally won the event while riding for BMC racing.

Take a look at his win below.

In North America the cities with the best in biking has always been constantly debated.  As earlier mentioned the cities with the most friendly attitude toward bikers and those with more incentives for those who bike have higher numbers of biking commuters than those that do not cater more to bikers.  You might even like to think that your town has the best biking around, but if you were to go by the total population of commuters who bike instead of drive, then you will see that Portland, Oregon is the top biking city followed closely by Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Check out other top places for bike commuters in North America below.

If you have taken a recent interest in the game of golf, need to work out some things in your swing, or just want to see what other people recommend and do when swinging, then the infographic below shows you.  It breaks down all aspects of a golf swing so that you can see what exactly goes on in such a short amount of time.  There are also tips for you to play better all around.  Some of those tips include:

• Get plenty of rest before a round.
• Practice.
• Remember to follow through.
• Stretch so you are flexible.
• Watch golf to see technique .
• Swing smoothly and do not over swing.

All you bike enthusiasts need to make certain that you are taking the necessary precautions to avoid hurting or injuring yourself.  Injuries on bikes are not uncommon and since most bikers are hitting the trails daily, there is always a greater risk that something can happen.  It’s vital that you make sure you are doing all that you possibly can to avoid potential injuries like wearing a helmet that properly fits, stretching before riding, and cooling down after a ride.  Other ways to stay safe is find gear that stands out to drivers and be cautious of those in cars around you.  The infographic below show you more information about cycling injuries and other facts that can be of use to you as well.

When you watch the professionals at work during a match, you will notice that the more advanced players have a bigger, more aggressive swing that generates a great deal of head speed and power. A high power rating in a racket is not a concern for them, since they are doing this power work themselves.  An advanced player who puts power behind his or her swings really needs a racket that gives more control over their shots, so for them, control is the main issue in selection of a racket.

Bigger rackets tend to give more power, while smaller ones offer the player more control.  There are countless other factors that come into play, but generally speaking, this is a rule you can go by if you are new to the nuances of racket design.

Here is an infographic showing the most used brands of rackets by the professional tennis players.

After a triple bogey on the 15th hole, it was likely that a Bradley win would be out of the question, but he came back on the next two holes with birdies evening up the score.  So, there was a three hold play off.  Dufner and Bradley went back to the 16th hole, and in the end Bradley took the Wanamaker trophy, winning by just one stroke.  Both golfers were impressive to watch, and the suspense was enjoyable even for my wife.  I also got to use my new golf channels on direct tv, and I love them!  Hopefully we will hear more from Dufner and Bradley both in the future.

The Pinehurst Courses

• No. 2–This is the most coveted of all the Pinehurst Resort courses.  In both years 1999 and 2005 the course hosted the US Open.  In 2014 they will host both the men and women’s US Opens in consecutive weeks, and this will surely make history.  The course was originally designed by Donald Ross, and in 2011 the acclaimed Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw have returned it back to its original state.  Boys aged 15 through 18 will be playing this historic course.

The 21 stages of the Tour de France have many different profiles for the cyclists to push through.  The stages consist of ten that are flat in surface.  There are six stages which are mountains and then four summits.  Three of the stages are medium in size mountains.  There is also a 42.5 kilometer time trial section for the individual cyclists and one for the team which is 23 kilometer.  Two of the 22 days are rest days, and the Galibier will in fact be climbed two times during the race.

In 1911 Col de Galibier was climbed by those bicyclers for the first time, so 2011 marks the 100th year anniversary of the climb.  To celebrate the fantastic historical event, it will be climbed two times.  The second time will follow the first after a 24 hour time period.  After the second climb the judging of the 18th stage will take place at the summit to become the highest finishing in all of the history of the Tour de France.  The height will be at 2,645 kilometers.

Two of the stages of the race are actually going to be located in another country.  The country Italy will hold two stages in Pinerolo, Italy for the seventeenth and eighteenth stages.  In all the Tour de France will award 3.2 million euros to winning teams and riders.  The winning individual can look forward to gaining 450,000 euros.  Many of the stage sites are actually stage sites for the very first time.  This happens to include the Passage du Gois la Barre de Monts, as well as, Mont des Alouette les Herbiers, which is home to many a windmill.

The first two players he thinks have the best chances of winning the US Open this year are Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood.  When I asked him the question of who would win he blurted these two players’ names without any hesitation whatsoever.  So, if he says it, it’s gotta be true.

Phil Mickelson, a former Satellite Dish Installer,is obviously no stranger to the US Open leader board.  In fact, this guy has come in second place in the US Open five times in his career.  It is difficult for all golf fans to believe that he has not yet won a single US Open, especially his fans.  The lefty player has ranked in the top ten eight times over his entire career.  He is going into this tournament as an underdog, so will this finally be the year for Phil?  His fans are confident, and so is our expert.  We shall see.

As already mentioned earlier, the Congressional course is a long one.  This means driving becomes an even more important factor, and Lee Westwood is probably one of the better driving golfers in the world at this moment.  Not to mention, the last six tournaments Westwood has played in he has ranked in the top eleven.  He has not won a major championship yet in his career, so this might be it for him.

Stephen also mentioned that Luke Donald is quite the contender as well, but we have a feeling he would rather see Mickelson or Westwood pull it off first.  The fact is that Luke Donald is currently ranked as the number one player in the world, and he has been at that spot for many months now.  If he keeps his game free of mistakes, he might could pull off this win.
