Cabbage powered cyclist (credit: road.cc)Video shows shocking lengths one Danish team boss will go to to make riders go faster… probably
When cyclists talk about dealing with wind they're normally talking about it blowing in their faces on long, gritty rides that are best shot in black and white with pained expressions.
But Danish fuel company OK have dreamt up this yarn of a local cycling club experimenting with other forms of wind as a performance advantage. You know where this is going. Since the best rated comment on YouTube states that "The translation sucked big, juicy monkey balls" we're guessing that some of the nuances of the humour may have been lost in translation, but we like to snigger at farting so there's plenty to like here however awry the English words might be. Anyway. Take it away, made-up Danish coach guy...
Thanks to Andy Lulham for the spot.
Dave is a founding father of road.cc, having previously worked on Cycling Plus and What Mountain Bike magazines back in the day. He also writes about e-bikes for our sister publication ebiketips. He's won three mountain bike bog snorkelling World Championships, and races at the back of the third cats.

You've got to be firm with these things. I tried using a carrot once, and it just didn't work at all.

Rumours are circulating that Pat McQuid is moving quickly to ban the use of cigarette lighters fixed to rear of saddles to prevent " those cheating b*st*ard's who are illegally exploiting the methane after-burn advantage" and putting in jeopardy the safety of the peloton un the process.
Pat went on to say " The UCI remains vigilant to all forms of cheating"
Should blow the opposition away
Funny as...can we have this on ITV?
Marginal gains? No doubt Sky are experimenting with different varieties of cabbage
Being at the back of the peloton may have just got a lot worse 
or should that be 
or 
And i forgot
"Rolf is clean"
Well most of their commercials are about supporting local sport clubs and in the same genre. That being said i have no idea how much/little they actually support with.
Reminded me of m cycle buddy, only with him it's pears...
farting - funny in any culture!

Very funny - shame it ends with a shill for petrol, but hey - you can't have everything
