    Commonwealth Games Road Race and TT

    He was never going to be recovered in time for this. He's back on the bike in training but he said in an interview before the race that he still can't lift his daughter up. So yeah, not fully recovered, he's been in the team car from the start. I do like seeing them rip through Glasgow...

    What do you think should be done about stage 16?

    The race organisers were watching the same images we were. They saw Cataldo attacking on the descent so they knew at least one rider was putting time in. If they had a problem they should have done something about it there and then. It's far too late to change the result (regardless of whether...

    Stage 16: Ponte Di Legno-Val Martello/Martelltal (139 km)

    Yup, strong performance from him. Impressive from Ryder too.

    Stage 16: Ponte Di Legno-Val Martello/Martelltal (139 km)

    I think Cardoso is still with him?

    Stage 16: Ponte Di Legno-Val Martello/Martelltal (139 km)

    Jesus Christ, is there a stage that goes by without Rob Hatch whining about people having beards? :o

    Stage 16: Ponte Di Legno-Val Martello/Martelltal (139 km)

    You're live now, don't fret it. Must have been delayed from earlier.

    Stage 16: Ponte Di Legno-Val Martello/Martelltal (139 km)

    Yeah, I'm grateful for that option. Looks hellish out there. And I was complaining about having to mow the lawn in a mild drizzle this morning :eek:

    2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 15: Valdengo-Plan Di Montecampione (225 km)

    Very good call. Well, that final climb was fun. Great stuff from Fabio Aru.

    2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 4: Giovinazzo - Bari (112 Km)

    Crashes can happen when it is dry, but come on, look how gingerly they are riding after two crashes on two corners relatively close together. If it was too dangerous to ride for the whole duration then why on earth is it decided safe enough to let it go all out on the last lap? When things...

    2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 4: Giovinazzo - Bari (112 Km)

    Well, if any stage was going to be neutralised I guess this is the best one for it, seeing as it's a totally pointless stage and unnecessarily dangerous one at that. Still, it is a bit disrespectful for the fans who've turned out to see some racing in Bari.

    Giro 2014 Field Speculation

    Hahaha. No. With the way the government is penny pinching, definitely not going to happen.

    Michal Kwiatkowski Thread

    No kidding! I think we're all aware of that fact. When people predict who they think will become the next big thing the key word is prediction. It's not "this will definitely happen", it's "I think this could happen".

    2014 Paris-Roubaix, 257 Km's, Sunday April 13th (1.UWT)

    Yup, it's not playing at all unfortunately. Driving me mad. Pay money to watch to the Classics on Eurosport, and then it gets to the one I'm looking forward to more than others and it ****s the bed. Grumble. And now it has let me login & the video player is working. So that's a relief, I can...

    Tour of Britain route and teams announced

    Assuming Scotland is still part of Britain by the time race is run in 2015 :D (It probably will be, it's not as if it'll be independence the second after the votes are tallied up)

    E3 Harelbeke, 28 March, 2014 (1.WT)

    Well, in strictest terms, an abortion is an artificially induced miscarriage. But that ignores the emotional impact of losing a child who you've seen and even felt growing in your partners abdomen. And if someone can't see how that would be emotionally shattering for a parent, mother or father...
