Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.

I’m prepared to believe that lady bottoms are sufficiently different to gentleman bottoms that different creams might be in order, but I’ll wager the ingredients in the gentleman stuff are sufficiently inert as to make no difference, so I suspect it is pink tax.

Ok, fair comment.

The normal stuff comes in 100ml for £13.99. Nice try but both sexes are equal here.

it's made exclusively from lady chamois goats, and they are much harder to catch than the males, who come running as soon as they hear you want to smear them all over your arse.

Great publicity stunt, he can swing it anyway he wants to, vote to do it and he/the team may have already decided to do it so it then looks like he's taking advice from fans.

Decide he's not doing it and there's still some that will vote not to do it but  can easily say, sorry guys, I just don't think I can do the race/the team justice and someone else in the team has a better/equal chance of victories or can complete the race or whatever blather.

Win, win.

Sagan should be careful with public votes. He'll end up being called Saggy McSaganFace and trying to somehow leave the cruel tyranny of his Bora-Hansgrohe team while still getting the benefit of massages from their soigneurs.
