And, more seriously, where's the coverage of the closure of the cycle lane which forces you to cycle on the Totton bypass.

Haha what a loser, it's a sportive! Why would a 'team' be riding a sportive anyway, if you reckon you're that good enter something that's actually a race, no 'glory' in beating a load of mamils round a non-competitive ride!
I know - my first thought was "What?!", followed by "Why would you have dope control at a Sportive anyway?" As for the $8k bike, the rider is apparently 'good' enough to be on a team, so kit is likely provided for him.
So, would this make me faster on the club run then?!
Andy Shen says,"And we’re going to try to get him to talk and say as much as possible". Sorry but the first image that has popped into my head is the Gestapo with their 'toolbox' of implements to loosen tongues... But seriously this is a lot depressing. People wanting to f**k their bodies up for an $8,000 bike and the 'glory' of beating others? I get a lot of pleasure from thinking back on my past (but very minor) glory, earned through pain, hard work and training in all weathers; how does it feel knowing that that past 'glory' was chemicaly enhanced and cheating???
