Great ride by this chap. Forgive me but why is Boardman's 56km record not valid now since that was also down within the current pursuit regs at the time.
Not sure if this has been posted but I have just been given the heads up on this French vid; http://www.ina.fr/economie-et-societe/vie-sociale/video/CAF86014709/adieu-tom-simpson.fr.html
To be quite honest I don't buy this idea that riders have only 10 [or some random number of ] year to make their money for life. Most can and do find other work after stopping racing.
No one says Miche. Good enough for some pro-teams. I have used some of the track kit- serviceable stuff for the price. And the road kit has carbon cranks now
FWIW I feel there is something in this. Sure, riders crashed before but I do think the new frames are so stiff that perhaps this is not helping their cause in many situations.
