    I want one aswell.
    I’m taking

    I want one aswell.

    I’m taking that it would be the frame and wheels which would be £6, you then need to stick some tyres, brakes and a saddle.

    I still cant see how the gearing works. Almost certain it would have to be a fixie, but HOW? 😕 😕

    Ok, I think I have mine
    Ok, I think I have mine sorted out….

    Men’s Keirin – Azizulhasni Awang (Malaysia)
    Men’s Omnium – Zachary Bell (Canada)
    Men’s Sprint – Gregory Bauge (France)
    Men’s Team Pursuit – Great Britain
    Men’s Team Sprint – New Zealand
    Women’s Keirin – Ekaterina Gnidenko (Russia)
    Women’s Omnium – Sarah Hammer (USA)
    Women’s Sprint – Simona Krupeckaitė (Lithunia)
    Women’s Team Pursuit – Australia
    Women’s Team Sprint – China

    MIGHT not be my final line up as it is only 1 rider per country for all the sprint events, but the Olympics site had 2 for some 😕

    Another question that I don’t know if it’ll work. Say I pick Bauge as above, but he goes and wins another event, Do I get any bonuses 😕 😉

    Were you using the can of Dr Sludge to fill the tubes you had in already??

    BAD MOVE

    Buy the pre lined tubes 😉

    This map shows the ticketed area and also the limited access area where you would need a wrist band to access

    The wrist bands were only given out through an official site if I remember right and if you don’t have one or a ticket, you are getting NO WHERE on box hill

    Stumps, Instead of picking a DS thats 2.5/7, but picking a 2.3 who’s not riding, may just free up the 0.2/4 you needed to bring in your 4 star riders who you could not squeeze into the 150 budgets by just picking riders in the race 😉

    Marginal gains as Sky would say 👿

    Well, that set me off for
    Well, that set me off for bed. Nothing that can or cannot be proved. Nothing about the testing of riders by their own teams to keep them clean….etc.

    All based around some figures from scientists who were measuring power to weight outputs.

    The one I didn’t like was Nibali, his figures for stage 11, I had to look back and refresh my mind with the stage. But no-one attacked on the first two climbs, so of course it was going to be a steady output and then it was Nibali who was trying to put time into Wiggo on the final climb to the finish, His output was going to be high, infact, I was expecting it to be higher than they said.

    As for other factor’s “whether a rider was drafting” REALLY?? Drafting up hill is going to save you nadda 👿 the only benefit of having someone infront of you on a long climb is being able to have a tempo set and you follow it.

    Not a very great story and as for an evidence, I found myself with more questions than answers after listening to that. They didn’t jump on the Wiggo is clean thing. Mainly I suspect because they don’t have any of his data.

    The one interesting thing was about the Alpe D’Huez climb getting slower over the years. What they didn’t mention was anything to do with the weather, were their attacks on the climb between the GC guys. Did the winner solo away from a group? NOTHING, just the amount of time it took to do that climb…..GREAT reporting :^o and mentioning Frank Schleck’s time up there just topped it off 👿 👿

    All in all IMO interesting to listen to and things to think about, no facts or evidence given and go a little boring. Still worth the listen as it only lasts around 8 minutes :B

    As for an “old boys
    As for an “old boys forum”….I’m neither, old nor a boy 😉

    I’ve only been around the forum a couple of months longer than yourself, 16 weeks by looks at our profiles.

    The reason my post count is so high, last year I had plenty of spare time to watch the racing as work was on a pick and choose basis. So whenever I was around, I would post up a bit of commentary for anyone who wasn’t able to watch live or catch highlights. They could keep up with going’s on and I hoped it helped them to make transfers and so on. Sometimes dropping in the odd red herring 😉

    But I know as much as anyone else about the game and pro racing as most others on the forum. :B
