Well done Cav. Just a shame about who your manager is !

I think you make some fair points as I have no proof either way about what we saw yesterday. I just wish that I hadn't watched Riis disappear up the Hautacam back in 1996 & thought at that time " how is he doing that " as its left me still feeling cynical.

Very worrying 🤔

I think I know the answer to this but nonetheless I will still ask the question. Are drugs now a thing of the past in the TdeFrance /cycle racing. Given the outstanding performance of some this year I am guessing the answer is no. And if that is the case how on earth are the riders getting away...

Amazed by now that a Whistle Blower hasn't come forward. :confused:

Re: Good advice as I have met a few peole in my time that clearly had brought the wrong bike.Indeed and I was recently told by a bike shop owner that it need not happen now, when I brought one of mine I had to alter the bars as they were too narrow, fit a different length stem and if I am...

Seems fair enough to me and a letter that could also be addressed to a few tennis and athletes that also get mentioned on here at times

Re: To quote Richard Wilsons Character in One foot in the grave. I don't believe it MF wins 4th GNR !

I hope so and it ends in the same way.

Re: Icarus - documentary film Yep totally agree just watched it and posted my opinion in Doping in athletics which basically says and they want us to think that its only the Russians cheating and that us Brits have compounded the problem by giving honours to those that without a doubt have and...

Just watching Icarus and its compulsive viewing but frustrating that so many of todays athletes and other generations have either got away with cheating or are currently cheating. So many have not only got away with it but are now held in high esteem by so many and our stupid honours system has...

Oh how I wished those giving out these ludicrous honours would before giving them out read these threads before they did. They then might question whether those they were giving them to were so deserving and had achieved their victories without chemical assistance. Or am I being too cynical !.

Re: Sniper I think your reply is directed to my comments Apologies if they aren't and I think you make some fair points because for Nicole it really must be like walking on eggshells. For me it's so frustrating as she always came across as a nice young lady with a gift for cycle racing and...

Re: LS as erudite as ever and a very interesting read.Its a shame we could not get you involved in the parliamentary enquiry. For me it also provides an answer to how Nicole suddenly disappeared from women's cycling in the public eye. I remember at one stage she seemed to be in the press and TV...

Surprised no way has mentioned it yet but MF winning the GNR has certainly rounded off a great season for him hasn't it !. Just saying !
