You heard it here first, but the organisers of Cycle 08 today confirmed that Olympic Gold Medal winning cyclist Nicole Cooke will be at the show on Sunday 12th October to meet the public and promote her new book Cycle for Life. Nicole was one of the star turns of last year’s show, when she appeared on stage to be interviewed by TV commentator Anthony McCrossan. Nicole then took questions from the audience before spending time signing autographs for the fans 
This year, as one of the heroes of Beijing, Nicole will be back at the show to share her experiences, making an appearance in the Cycle 08 Arena where she will be interviewed again before appearing at her publisher’s, Kyle Cathie stand, to sign copies of her new book. Also making an appearance at the show will be Nicole’s gold medal winning bike, the Boardman Road Pro Race Prepared bike, designed by Chris Boardman. In her new book, Cycle for Life Nicole takes the experience and knowledge built up throughout her cycling life and distills it into an easy to understand guide to all aspects of cycling from setting up your bike through to the basics of training. Whether you’re already a keen cyclist or just starting out, the book aims to have something for everyone – we look forward to seeing a review copy soon. Nicole will appear at the Show on Sunday 12th October between 12.30pm and 2.30pm. There’s a fiver off the on the door admission price for road.cc members that book in advance either on the web at www.cycleshow.co.uk/STM (entering the code “STM” , so they know we sent you) you’ll get a fiver of the ticket price, or by phone on 0844 848 0122.

Erm - it has - as per the item above: (Technically, a 'budget cap' and a 'team salary cap' aren't quite the same thing, but given how much of the costs are paying riders, it would have a similar effect.)
A lot of pro sports leagues have team salary caps. Curious that hasn't been mooted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salary_cap
Well your original comment did rather suggest that was your understanding. The bit 'critiquing' the pros and cons was sandwiched in the middle of railing against the makers. And the amount of ill-thought-out tripe that gets posted under some of these reviews, it wouldn't surprise me at all if someone thought the manufacturer provided the pros and cons.
JB may not bé Mr Nice but in this case he's 100% right. I thought when Lappartient was elected he knew sod all about pro cycling and his real ambitions were related to running thé Olympics.
@mdavidford Well duh, is a manufacturer going to put negative comments on their own products? did you really just try to explain that?
Surely Fred Wright's going to win a race in his career that isn't the national champs. He's been close so many times now.
Awful human slags off Machiavellian politician -shock horror.
The pros and cons come from the reviewer, not the manufacturer. And they do explain in the review why they think the lack of MIPS could be viewed as either/both a positive or a negative. Less so with the shape, but it's easy to see how that could be considered a good or a bad thing, depending on whether it suits your head shape. If anything, it's a deficiency of the review template - that it doesn't have a section for something like 'other considerations' that aren't pros or cons.
Could always reduce the size of Pogačar - shrink him down by about half - that might level things up a bit.
Why is the Cube Litening Aero, The Specialized Tarmac and the Van Rysel RCR-PRo marked with a (TBC) pricetag but the Canyon Aeroad isnt considering the teams will no doubt ALL be riding the new as of yet unreleased CFR? The price of a currently superceded (as far as the pro peloton are concerned) looks cheap but its a 2 year old model. The new one is as unreleased as the other 3 bikes.
