bobbins said:These are local riders, not riders on the Sky team but if they are covering local rider positives up anything is possible.

It's pathetic. It's not even as if there's any real money to be made bike racing in the UK.
Then again if you think you're heading for a Protour team, you have to faire le métier.

From what I've heard, the lad rocked up, got across to a break full of Rapha lads solo, tore their legs off to the point no one could come through and dragged them round for a massive lead on the peloton. Apparently Herety thought something was up and asked for a test. Wasn't a premier event by all accounts, so I don't know what race it was. Think it was a Nat B somewhere.

Edit: Can't remember the guy's name or club. I see if I can dig the report up.
Nat B is the level below the major Premier Calendar and high level elite races -- big local standalone races generally.Animal said:Nat B? Wossat then?

Well technically National A are E/1/2 as well (a clubmate of mine who's 2nd cat did the Premier Series Beaumont race last weekend). But yes, National B are also E/1/2.Animal said:So you mean E,1,2 races.

Roland Rat said:And if you do you find an interesting, and pertinent, conversation from another forum in which he participated a while ago.
Still, we might be way off target with our suspicions.
