Bet365 offer odds 67 on Tiernan-Locke as winner of the Words. Money in the bank seeing that Machado isn't starting.

Im seriously considering a substantial wager on him at those odds! :D

I mean I doubt he's going to be heavily marked so he should just attack 30km out and then solo to victory by like 10 mins. Simples. :cool:

He'll be marked by any rider that's been reading this forum :)

Is there a Leeds back to Leeds race for his tier of racers?

When you say 'his tier of racers' you do mean, cycling GOATS? Yep?

But you could have a point, Leeds-Bradford-Leeds for cycling GOATs only could be a classic race. JTL head to head with Wilco Kelderman.
 
Been watching his performance in the ToB and reading this thread. Hes 27, so the same age as Chris Froome - but since he has had four years out the sport he is going to be a 'young 27' methinks.So he will probably go on/peak maybe 3 years after Froome.

Top sportspeople don't go downhill at 30 because they are 30, its because they have quite often had 10+ years of top level sport in their legs.

Don't try to over-analyse and come up with stupid conclusions, just go with the flow and let the river run...

Let's pump up the hype, once he goes to Sky, just imagine: JTL + MARGINAL GAINS.

They're gonna **** everyone for good.
