  Apparently not, as Andy Murray can always be seen hanging around a swimming pool in Miami. I would love to see an analysis of how long Froome has ever spent in the UK though. At least Lewis Hamilton can be seen at the factory some times.

    Yes, hanging around the factory smugly refusing to contribute to the country that he is apparently so proud to represent. He can do one.

Harry Kayne…..because Spurs

Harry Kayne…..because Spurs won…..errrrrrr.

“Best award for an english footballer with a well kept beard who hasn’t got into a fight outside a nightclub” maybe.

It is about time they change this to sportsman and sports woman. Bugger all to do with personality (if so Hamilton would never win as he is a complete tool) and woman rarely get a look in despite amazing acheivements…..out of date, out of touch.

Oh dear, not football ‘debate

Oh dear, not football ‘debate’.

You could argue that not functioning for a team that wins makes the achievement greater; if either of the Yates brothers dominated the TDF that’d be a greater achievement than Froomey.

You could therefore argue that Steve Cummings performances deserve an honorary mention…

Encouraging to know that not all of the Absolute Tossers Against Cyclists have remained within the UK, but this one has even arranged somebody else to do his 'I'm a cyclist myself' tripe.

@mitsky he will be interested to know there's quite a good rail service in to Swansea. It's only six months which is pretty light imo.

'This experience has been a significant wake-up call for me and I can assure the court that I have reflected seriously on my actions and taken steps to ensure this will never happen again' Perhaps the six points you already had on your licence should have been the wake up call. Also, if I'm a judge, I'm thinking not bothering to show up in court doesn't scream remorseful. You are NOT a victim here Mr Cabango.

I really enjoyed Bastie Tronchon's victory.

@the little onion It is quite galling to read that Cabango is the Swansea Captain. He is hardly setting a good example to his team mates and fans etc.

@leedorney Great, me neither, but reviews are written for people other than you and I. These are "Tubeless Ready" tyres. They are marketed to work as Tubeless, so it wouldn't be good if the reviewer didn't test them as tubeless for those buying them for tubeless use.

@wtjs Entirely possible that it was a lie. Given the ban is in place, if he doesn't move his family could he be charged with lying in court?
