I have no issue with your characterization of me, but Joel’s his own man… He’s not trying to be like me… He’s got his own issues… I don’t think he’s a ‘pain in the rear end, post editing, quoting all round’ type of guy like me… so don’t treat him like one… Show the man the respect he deserves and answer his comments as judiciously and as professionally as you can without comparing his actions to mine… In my mind, even though you are not an employee of Roadcc, people equate you with being ‘their’ representative and as such I would applaud it if you treated people with more respect than handing out ‘comparisons’ and ‘warnings’… You have a position of authority and responsibility within Roadcc. I would just ask that you take that role responsibly and adjust the way you can sometimes ‘talk down’ to people’… His concerns are genuine, if only to him… I say leave me out of the conversation and don’t compare us and don’t ‘warn’ people like that… I think it’s rude and unprofessional. Everyone deserves to be judged by their own expressions, no need to compare us…

You can’t argue with that , he just about summed it up in a very (dare I say) serious and adult manner ….well done Enrique =D>

Anyone else having their doubts about Sky for the Tour, by the way? On current form, looks like Contador’s going to be the man to beat, not Froome.

Me and work mates have been having this discussion since the route was announced and I’ll be honest ….since day one I couldn’t see past Contador for the top spot , however, froome and Porte are just back from illness , Wiggo rode well recentlyand they have some of the best doms in the business for controlling a race, they have options so I still think they have a decent shout at le tour

Good stuff
1,2,3,5,8
Good stuff 😀
1,2,3,5,8 std
Hepburn and Gaudin were slight let-downs but I had 7 guys with a chance of scoring and 5 of them made top 10, so got to be happy with that.
1,3,4,20 purist (plus Tejay) is a nice start as well…

How can that possibly work and be fair? That is completely at the whim of the person who enters the numbers.

From the UCI regs applying to time trials …

2.4.015 Finishing times shall be taken to the nearest one-tenth of a second at least.

2.4.016 At the world championships and the Olympic Games times shall be taken and communicated to the nearest one-hundredth of a second.

The 1/100th of a second is true of most major races.

Ok cool if it is done on
