Lord Sugar at the Cycle Show (copyright Simon MacMichael).jpgFriday Caption Competition
Ah, Assos. Like Stella Artois, reassuringly expensive. Even multi-millionaires have pause to reflect if this picture of Lord Sugar at the Cycle Show at Earls Court yesterday is anything to go by.
But what was the Amstrad supremo and star of TV's The Apprentice really thinking? Over to you, road.cc users, to supply the caption... we can't stretch to providing Assos kit as a prize, but there's a road.cc t-shirt up for grabs for the best entry come Tiffin time on Monday.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

red tie: "We aren't looking for any investment. We are suggesting that you Sponsor Yourself"
Asos guy says,
"Yeah, Rapha's for the cheapskates"
Wonder if griffo will swap me a an amstrad computor for a bunch of assos and a new pinarello?
Someone tell him he's fired he's boring the nuts off me.
Hmmm... I wonder if I could get my apprentices all in lycra?
And you are sure this is more expensive than the Rapha kit I saw Peter Jones in?
The Assos rep tells Sir Alan where to stick his Chamois cream!

no buy one get one free were the deal
So, will this make my bum look big?
Successful brands beginning with A..
I don't like bullshitters, I don't like schmoozers.
Assos: Sponsor Yourself(tm) "So; If I go any buy the Tate Modern.....And Lyle Scottish Knitwear I could Be sponsored by some poorly designed scottish knitwear to ride my Pinarello in?"
You're tired!
Red tie: "How many more times ? Donkeys are 2 stands to the right and mules 3 to the left."
Lord Sugar "Dumb assoses."

Lord Sugar...........
"Hmmm, not sure how 'aero' that bibshorts + scarf + handbag combo the girl is wearing is, but on the other hand it would compliment my beard..."
"Ive got a £7k pinarello prince yet I still got chauffeured here - Im fired"
Or the Assos guy thinking
"Wait 'til I tell everyone that I met Sid James in London..."
"So I'm thinking...Amsos."
