ontheroad said:The landslide nature of the victory is a huge surprise given that Cookson had 4 years to manoeuvre himslef into an unassailable position to get re-elected. His over-confidence came back to bite him (or was it just false bravado) but I don't think too many will be sad to see him gone.
bewildered said:how many votes did McQuaid get last time?
McQuaid and elected Cookson in his stead by 24 votes to 18.
Matt Slater: Cookosn was posing for pics with delegates while they were counting the vote. Very odd.

Its like hearing that some douchebag crimelord has been taken out by police.carton said:Lolz. ASO's guy, the guy who almost ended women's racing in France, who was heavily backed by Bruyneel and HWMNBN, and lobbyied for by the Big Man himself, is in by a landslide! Guess we're really going to test out that title hypothesis.
I call shotgun on setting up Kimmage's new legal defence fund.

Sure, someone equally horrible may replace them, but let us all rejoice for today that the witch is dead.

I can't even count how many pictures I've seen of Cookson riding in full Sky kit. He ran British Cycling and was around during the development of Sky. Considering that BC staff ran tasks for Sky, I'd say the links are there and the optics of it all were horrible. If he wasn't pulling strings for Sky, he certainly didn't make himself appear neutral.rick james said:come back in a year and tell me if anything's changed, sky won't be affected one bit by todays news
