Rory Townsend is the next Fausto Masnada

[topcat]

After his win at Hamburg, Irish cyclist Rory Townsend has the whole world in his hands.

 

[RedheadDane]

Pretty sure several of those people aren't even proper redheads.
I'll have to do some extensive research when I get home from work.

How do you enable ppl to see who voted for what in a poll?

How do you enable ppl to see who voted for what in a poll?

"Display votes publicly" is an option when a poll is set up, but not subsequently editable (because some people have voted on the basis that it is anonymous? Can't imagine it is an issue here, but some forums would have more sensitive voting issues)

Well Puck is the current world mountain bike and u23 road world champion.
Best poll for quite a while.

187 km breakaway. one of the nicest wins I ever watched (but I'm biased, I cheer the Irish and Q36.5)

Okay, you know what? I'll accept it.

Official Redhead Certification

I, RedheadDane, by the power invested in me, by me, hereby declare Rory Patrick Townsend an officially certified redhead!

 

[rallybanana]

I think he also needs an official "attacking Irish cyclist" certification

What about the attacking Irish cyclist?

Spoiler: No lookie!

I'm not the expert on attacking Irish cyclists...

Good. You shouldn't be attacking Irish cyclists anyway.

I thought I was going to be attacked by a particularly mean looking goat on the Sheffry Pass in Co Mayo a couple of summers ago. Does that count?

More worldtour wins than Vingegard this year

 

[Potomac]

I voted RHD. She was in the Vino poll position.

Has she certified herself?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Is Pendleton actually a redhead? Joanna Rowsell or Kirsten Wild would have been bette choices, although they haven't worked with animals like some of the others in the poll.

I don't need a certificate, I am the one who hands out certificates!

(Also, I only make a post giving someone a certificate once they've won a pro victory, so...)

By this rule you should be uncertified, no?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

If a rider wins a pro race on this bike, would that earn Ariel a certificate, @RedheadDane?

Like I said; I don't need a certificate.
But enough about me! This is the Rory Townsend thread.

Vital point.

I have watched his final jump a few times and his energy at the end, to produce that violent sprint was truly beautiful! He just gets up and gets it on!! His break mates could only watch him!!
