    Race Thread

    I get roadies doing it as they like to pose with the one bit of kit they get to decide for themselves, but even they question their choices on a day when its wet & grimey, as they know they'll get wrecked.

    Commentary on TNT and other WB brands

    depends what kind of deals they offer and how much it will cost me, I cant afford to spend £31 a month extra, on top of Sky on top of the licence fee just to watch tv occasionally, given a fair bit of what I want to watch ends up on their online service in favour of whatever tedious snooker...

    Team Ineos Discussion thread

    not at all I think thats been on the cards for a while, he's got bored with it, like he got bored with the sailing, and he's discovered football in the UK at least is a gigantic money pit. but to lose them as a British team completely, is more a significant change than Ineos pulling back...

    England has never been conquered by the French, they were Normans from the Duchy of Normandy, after all we'd never have had the 100 year war with them if they had done ;) we'd never call anyone a citizen,, subjects maybe, we'd still call them burghers, but i dont the g should be as hard as it...

    ere burgher isnt English, its a Dutch word in origin, we no doubt started to adopt it by trading withthe Hanseatic league. but it became burgess, or borough, and neither of them remotely sound like burgers in English...mmm burgers :hamburger:

    Voxwomen have paused (aka ceased) all operations. They were a media organisation Ant Mccrossan founded back in 2015 i think, launched at the Women's Tour that year, to promote women's cycling and boost media coverage of women's pro cycling.
