Yeah, you sound like one who prefers attackers like Nibali and Contador, not boring wheelsuckers like Valverde and Costa.Helvellyn said:Cheers. As for Valverde....ummmmmmmmmmmm...nah
Helvellyn said:Hi,
Been lurking for a couple of years and thought I'd sign-up as pretty excited about the upcoming Vuelta. I intend to keep up an average post cost of 1 every 2 or 3 months
Got into cycling by accident in about '92 - was just channel surfing and came across the Channel 4 half hour highlights of the Tour (I'm from the UK). Immediately became a fan of Indurain up until he retired. Then I kind of lost interest in cycling in about '98 and didn't get back into it until about '04. Since then have been cheering for the likes of Basso, Bettini and Flecha. With Bettini and Flecha retired, kind of on the lookout for new riders to start cheering for.
As far as actual cycling goes, have done a bit of cyclo-touring in my time, but basically never took to cycling physiologically...am far better at running, so spend a lot of time training for amateur running events.
Cheers.

I previously posted with the username cyivel but when I tried to log into that account after a few months of inactivity I realised I'd forgotten the password and the e-mail I signed up with has been compromised so I couldn't get access to a reminder.
I'm guessing nobody could give a **** but I felt I should be honest in the unlikely event sockpuppet expert Netserk would call me out
Obviously I've cleared this with the moderators, thanks to Afrank for the assistance in trying to get me access to my previous account.
Nice seeing you again famsnccdcno said:Welcome brother.

Helvellyn said:Thanks Have heard the name of Valgren, but not much more than that - will keep tabs on him.

Murungaru said:Hi everyone,
I'm Murungaru, from France (sorry for my english, i hope i will improve it by being here!), 26yo.
I'm vegan straight edge (i specify because I see some topic about it), pretty unusual in France.
I "support" team sky (very unusual in france, too) and Orica GreenEDGE but i mainly like beautiful (and clean) race. 2015 seems to be a big year, on the paper.
Personally i'm a noobie in cycling, but motivate to be seriously this year.
See ya!
