Not sure how it works this year

But last year you needed all riders to be active for the first stage or your team was invaild and you scored 0, But he’s only a sub and unless something happens today, he will not be riding

My Stars are 112.4 with my DS being 31.9

I don’t have a team mate of who I think might win, but I have a team mate of the other one who I think has a chance at winning, but i’ve had my team set for weeks now, not going to change it unless there are pull outs

If my team is all right after the ITT, It might stay the same until the end, because I think I also have the three podium guys for the end of the race

It may have just been the rumour mill, so dont listen to me, but I understood the same as MSW that Europcar didn’t have a place on the Tour this year either 😕

Mollema is stupidly expensive
Mollema is stupidly expensive this year and also got an upgrade to GC, I’m thinking he might bomb this season and been like Wiggo since he joined Sky, high up in the GC one year and then no where the next 😕

Just checked somewhere else, Yes, it would seem himself and Jonathan Mould were racing for Sean Kelly, the other Brit in the race was Andrew Fenn with OPQ

I have linked an excel file with the riders listed

Yes Mr Will, it was to fight
Yes Mr Will, it was to fight all that, but from all the documentation i can find, they set up a bike shop that was a front for the operation and caught them that way.

I think the quote you have put above, is a bike misleading as you took off the end part

The year-long Operation Northwood was set up to fight burglary, vehicle and bike crime in Cambridge, with police setting up a shop, Wardy’s Wheels, as a front to entice criminals to seek to dispose of stolen property there.

All the stories i can find about the operation are to do with the Wardy’s Wheels, I think the reason its also to fight burglary and vehicle’s is because these people convicted were also involved in that side of things, so by tackling the stolen property being offloaded through the bike shop, they were also able to tackle those other sorts of crimes

Here are a few stories about it

http://www.cambridgefirst.co.uk/news/police_arrest_40_suspects_in_cambridge_thefts_crackdown_1_652932

This is the only information i can find outside of bike crime, which leads me to believe that vehicle crime was fought under another operation

Operation Northwood saw undercover officers
infiltrate the city’s black market and resulted in 20
offenders being locked up for a total of more than 47
years.  
Officers also recovered more than 500 items of stolen
property, identifying 218 which were then returned to
the rightful owners.  
A gang which made thousands of pounds stealing
from cars across the region was jailed after detectives
launched a surveillance operation. Four men received
custodial sentences and another a suspended
sentence after being caught red‐handed in Operation
Astra.  
The operation led to a significant drop in vehicle crime
across south Cambridgeshire.

Ok, thats noted aswell, but I think Mikeh789’s comment was more based on Cav’s illness than my post as he was the person who started the thread making people aware he was ill.

The evidence was obviously false as i showed in the pictures, It would be different if i hadn’t posted them and still said the same, but i’ll moderate my deception this year on the back of it.

[Gkam84]

Its a catch 22 really, Yes
Its a catch 22 really, Yes we’d all love stiffer penalties, but they would ultimately increase prison numbers and those who would be put on probation. Therefore also increasing costs.

There is no one solution to cut it out all together as there will always be crime of one sort or another, but anything to dis-way potential bike thieves should be looked upon as a good thing. If this was a national campaign I would back it tomorrow, but as its just in one certain area, to me, it does not merit the cost.

The reason I’m chipping in now is that the lady mentioned by Gkam84 up top has been in touch, she’s read this thread and not un-naturally she isn’t happy about being called a freebie-hunting troll – you might want to offer an apology… and maybe go back and edit that comment Gkam.

Oh, and while we’re on the subject of “disadvantaging” people, who was it that posted about Cav being out of the Tour of Qatar when he wasn’t – causing a fair few paliptations amongst Fantasy Cyclists? Hmm… :?

Comment edited, I have left some of it, but taken anything out that might sound like a personal attack on anyone.

As for the Cav bit, all’s fair in love and fantasy cycling. But if your referring to this thread http://road.cc/content/forum/52179-cav-sick Its all a bit of fun and as i said they were all nicked from sky’s facebook, anyone could have gone there and seen who it was 😉

Apology has been given and also posted above ^^ I hope that this will suffice and be accepted by Tracy, then we can put a line under it…..also noted for future reference to keep my big gob (fingers) shut

Hi Tracy
I know that you do
Hi Tracy

I know that you do not know me, but you may know my username on Road.cc (Gkam84)

Firstly i would like to apologise directly to you rather than on the forum, which I will also do, I’m sorry for any offence i may have caused you by naming you in my thread and referring to you as a “freebie troll”, please do not take that as a personal attack on yourself, as thats not how it was meant.

I picked your name purely at random from the comments that were left on the status, I went onto many of the posters profiles and all I saw was “share this to win” “like this to win” and so on, As I run a couple of facebook pages for businesses who often do competitions like that, we often get swamped by “freebie troll’s” who only set up an account on facebook to enter these types of give away’s.

Obviously, I cannot see anything else posted on your wall as i am in no way affiliated with Road.cc nor their facebook page, The only reason I brought it up on the forum, was to make the owners aware that there are people out there doing things like this and felt that it was disadvantaging genuine cyclists and cycling fans

Please accept my apology, I have now removed your name from the thread and will also post this word for word as a comment on there.

Once again, sort for any offence i have caused you.

Keith (Gkam84)

I would Orli, but for a few different reasons i wont

3, Its a game, lets get on with what we have and be thankful its here at all 😉
