Why does he keep talking over cavendish - he's actually thinking about how he replies to your inane repetitive banal questions.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Did they need to break the WR in the qualis? Maybe I'm just not used to Brits being this good, but would think yuo'd want to save that for the final.

 

[Lord Camomile]

But why is the man on the motorised bike there? Why bother with this bit at all? It's like a safety car in F1

 

[agricola]

Pendleton wins again.

To stop hours of crap go-slow tactics.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bloody hell! "'scuse me ladies, coming through..."

Pacing. And to get an awesome camera angle.

Like in the individual sprint?

 

[mattie]

65 km/h. Over 40mph.

Woosh.

 

[butchersapron]

Like in the individual sprint?

yep.

Google it.

Started out as Japanese battle cycling for gambling / bookies.

Then the rest of the world began to tame it

Once you understand that, the rest all begins to make sense

Thanks for that. Ace.

I think someone on here should make it their mission to invent a totally bonkers new sport for inclusion into, say the 2020 Olympics.

 

[Nigel Irritable]

People doing track stands and messing about trying to get on each other's wheel is the best bit of track!

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

Gold and another WR!

 

[butchersapron]

Nice

 

[Lord Camomile]

Gerrin!

 

[tommers]

boom. again.

 

[editor]

Fantastic race. Awesome power from the Brits.

 

[Espresso]

Bloody hell fire. What a performance.

 

[agricola]

Brailsford must be nailed on for the next Archbishop of Canterbury now.

 

[Nigel Irritable]

I wouldn't go so far as calling it cheating. From what I understand It seems Hindes manipulated a loophole in the rules. Therefore it's open for the opposition to use too. As far a the "spirit of the game" goes, at least he was honest about it and has highlighted the loophole, which can now hopefully be closed. He needs to be commended for his honesty at least.

It's pretty much the same as the badminton players deliberately trying to lose so as to get an easier draw. Nothing to commend about it at all. If there's a loophole in the rules, then he'll get away with it, but it's fucking awful sportsmanship.

I blame wiggins.

Imagine if they allowed restarts in the track athletics if someone falls over.

...and Usain Bolt takes the 100M gold in a new world rec.. oh wait, Imyan Santanya has tripped over his own shoelaces half way back down the track, restart in 10 minutes.

Imagine if you could make an apt analogy.

 

[twistedAM]

Meares is last

ETA 5th but that'll do.

 

[Nigel Irritable]

I blame wiggins.

Why would I do that?

 

[agricola]

Pendleton is bloody rubbish...





















..... at collecting flags.

 

[editor]

Great ride by Pendleton.

 

[Nigel Irritable]

Imagine if you could make an apt analogy.

I'm sure you'd be every bit as generous in your reaction if one of the French riders had done it and then won.

 

[tommers]

Brilliant pendleton. Properly brilliant. I thought she'd gone way too early.

Everyone else a nationalist. Just like the tour.
