Lancashire-born pro cyclist Ian Bibby has got 2017 – and his new career with JLT-Condor – off to a winning start after taking advantage of a crash on the last corner to win the opening race of the Bay Cycling Classic in Geelong, Australia.
Orica-Scott had managed the race throughout to set up Caleb Ewan for the sprint, but he and other riders aiming to contest the win were ruled out of contention as a result of the late crash.
Former NFTO rider Bibby, who had been leading out team mate Brenton Jones, profited from the confusion to make a burst for the line and take victory from Jesse Kerrison of IsoWhey Sports-SwissWellness.
The 30-year-old rider from Preston, quoted on the team's website, said afterwards: “We were working for Brenton to be honest. did a good turn for Brenton, we got him in a good position and I sat up and there was only six or seven left [in the final lap].
“And then they all went really hot into that corner and they all went down. I thought ‘best get my head down’. It was a bit of luck — it’s a shame they all crashed but I suppose that’s bike racing,” he added.
Agree, but again it's how to start to break the vicious circle?...
I'm either amazed that they can get through with (presumably) a full sized waste truck, or amazed that she could not. Although as you say the bin...
Absolutely. Even with everyone behaving as they should there isn't enough room for everyone to be able to keep moving....
They can't spell "stupider"
How about this for negative stereotyping :...
£1500? I almost feel the layer of grime lifting off this one with my Muc-off cleaner, a shine returning to the alu with Autosol and an old t-shirt:...
Watch out for toe overlap (front wheel clearance) with midfoot cleats,
"So now you're saying that being in that family - even by marriage - makes you more likely to commit a traffic offence?"...
Will those wide rim brake models fit inside a shimano 40-49mm brake caliper with 28mm max clearance??? Gonna be a squeeze...
I'd be even more concerned about the effect it may have on whether the helmet can still do its job in the event of an impact....
