Not to bring personalities or sexual orientation into the conversation! What exactly does any of what you say have anything to do with the topic? I don't think he is the only one (where's that mirror?) who wants people to read what he has to say? Correct me if I'm wrong but what Pro Tour...

I'm out training with some mates - I have a stack, they wait, I puncture, they wait, I overshift or get chainsuck and I grind to a halt, they say what a tool! Admittedly it didn't look great on TV, but assuming Bertie wasn't fully aware what the problem was, Sanchez or Menchov who were behind...

I think that him fcuking Garmin sideways has not helped himself in the popularity stakes. The major problem with Wiggo is that everybody thinks he believes his own hype, and there is nothing worse than that if you can't back it up. Remember no-one gave him a chance last year as a GC contender...

Aussie Aussie Aussie 1. Cadel Evans 2. Michael Rogers 3. Richie Porte Bloody unlikely - but it is a dream podium after all!

Firstly, if you were to ask those young guys what kind of rider they want to be - they would say successful! But what form that takes GT, GC for short stage races, stage wins, one day races, they won't know at this point in time. I think it is the pressure they are put under from the public and...

The new Chris Boardman? As others said you need to differentiate between hype and being overrated - Wigans scores on both accounts. Having a rather lacklustre palmares outside of TT wins, and then a miraculous result in the Le Tour - everybody is backing him to be the saviour of British road...

I'll put my hand up to being mildly ignorant and a bit stupid, and I am willing to take the bait - suppose you take the unlikely line that the Uniballer did not dope because he says so and he was never found positive, can you win 7 Tours if all of your teammates are doped up to the eyeballs? Or...

I presume you ride/rode, race/raced a bike so you remember what it is like. In a club race someone disappears off the front, you do your turn to try to get them back, and if you can't then you keep on doing swappio because that is the thing to do to maintain some level of respect for yourself...

Looking at the footage again, Boonen drifted back while he was having some pommes frits and a duvel, thinking I am the strongest one in the group, also probably thinking of equalling RDV's record, but also lamenting I am knackered from doing so much work. Cancellara accelerates to cover a...

I am also 170cm and 62-63kg, but more cycling could drop it a tiny bit. The lightest I have been is 55kg backpacking through Asia, and the most 65kg - the first 3 years after my wife had a baby - ie. no riding at all. It's funny the little guys can't put weight on, and the big guys can't take...

Ignoring the obvious charms of South Australia and the TDU is really doing yourself a disservice - as the ad says "Do yourself a favour and come to South Australia!" - come down to Adelaide in January, you are right it will probably be a scorcher, and we might have Matt Lloyd or someone else...

Just for the record I don't support either - and a Magpies tragic calling Port bogans ... hmmm. Getting back on topic - I will scoot down to Dymocks and ask Cadel what got into his tiny little brain? I'll also ask him when he decided to make the split - a pretty pertinent question. He has...

I guess the likelihood of Cadel winning the TDF with BMC is the same as Collingwood winning a premiership - maybe Malthouse could be his new performance coach LOL! You certainly won't make any more friends now you have outed yourself as a Collingwood supporter!

I don't think anyone is under illusions that he isn't trying to flog his book. The timing of it is the interesting thing. Was he always going to write it, predicated on releasing it after he won the Tour, but when he went crap, and then won the WC, and thought that something like that might not...
