Micky, Yes I am looking at the island games, but maybe for swimming instead of triathlon. I'm a much better swimmer than a triathlete at the moment, but 12 ...
Giro well and truly under way. A surprising prologue win for Salvodelli. And and not too unsurprising minute deficit for tubby Jan! I missed mondays wet stage...
I wasn't that surprised by Savoldelli's win on the prologue, as he did the exact same thing in the Tour of Romandy. I have to say winning by a massive 11...
What an awesome display by Basso today. Perhaps riding in the shadow of Armstrong for 3 years has taught him a lot. Can he become the first man since Pantani...
Hi Micky, I think it's safe to say that Basso will win the Giro, but what he has to be careful off is getting his head right for the tour, he will be euphoric...
I think the difference with other Italian Giro winners (except Marco) Simoni,Salvodelli,Garzelli,Gotti etc is that Basso seemed to focus on the Tour as his...
1 easy way to get Ulrich to win. Put a pie shop at the end of each stage, and the winner gets all you can eat. Jason 'Tounge in cheek' [Non-text portions of...
Hi Everyone How are you all keeping? I hope you are keeping well and the cycling is going well. I've had a lot of leg cramp recently which is causing me...
Well in for Menchov....how quiet has he been this year? OK - i reckon Tour winning chances = HIGH we will make our judgements after Tour de Suisse but so far,...
I would love to see Jan do it but if I had to place a bet it would be on Basso. I won the Giro with something to spare, he never really looked under pressure....
I really feel for Menchov, he really was cheated out of his day i nhte sun at the Vuelta, and being awarded it after the event will not have felt the same as...
Yeah - i kinda spoke too soon with Menchov, cos no sooner had a proclaimed his triumphant return, then he floundered the day after! Heras' performance on the...
Well done to Hamish Haynes yesterday. Outsprinting Roger Hammond is no mean feat. Good to see HH getting such a big win. A real canny down to earth lad, and...
Does anyone know where you can go to watch it online (if there is any such thing) if you live in an area where you cant get it on the TV? Any help or pointers...
Hi norman, maybe www.cycling.tv will be showing it, failing that get a second hand satellite dish and reciever (old astra sat not sky digital) dunno if there...
I say NO. I cant understand the need for a cyclosportif event in the UK. There are only two that stick in my mind as being anywhere near as good as those in...
If we want to climb any mountain or hill, we can just do it. But people from other countries may want to. And bring in cash for our tourist inductry. If it...
True, but my point is - why try and mimic what Europe are doing and rename them something else rather than call them sportives? I suppose my main gripe is the...
Micky, Down in London on an Oracle course for the company, some is going straight over my head. No training here, be glad to get back to the country side of...
Hello Road Racing UK and Ireland. Wild West Cycling Adventures, a newer bike touring company located in the western U.S., is presenting Pick the Podium! - a...
What does everyone think of todays events? the biggest two current stars in world cycling supposedly guilty of doping - event if its 'only' blood doping, its...
this is a horror story. So many of us have been looking forward to this years Tour, it was going to be open, with a course that favoured both the heavy...
Isn't it kind of interesting that the main people excluded were numbers 2,3 and 4 (highest) from TdF 2005 (number 1 retired of course). Seems like someone...
Hi sue, welcome to our group. This has been alive and kicking for 6 years or more now and we havent pulled any punches over drugs or any other issues on here....
On thursday night I crazily entered the Newcastle city centre crits with the cream of British cycling there, including all the Recycling.co.uk team and a full...
