He's not doing badly for someone who isn't cycling seriously anymore, eh?

    I believe he's been taking it a bit more seriously in recent months - he was offered a place on a Australian pro team so took it up.

    I think there is less pressure to conform in Australia, if you get my drift.

    He will need to go well to force his way back into the National Team after Madrid.

    No one likes a rebel, eh?

    And if you consider his last pro team is now home to quite a few Brits, are they under the same pressure?

    Being a Monday and all, I'm feeling a bit slow. What do you mean?
    You just have to ride like you never have to breathe again.

    I mean that he can ride to a decent level in Australia without having to prepare in the correct manner, which may or may not have been the case when he was riding in Italy.

    I believe he's banned sine die from the national team after Madrid. Someone at BC ought to remember what professional cyclists do it for. A hint - it's not love.

    Man you are a cynical lot 8)

    Could it be a possibility than the field in this race is absolutely friggin' rubbish? Astana and Unibet are obviously on holiday, and the most of the teams I've never heard of. You'd get a better standard of racing in Italian 1.2 races.

    I bet it would be a different story if someone rode for the GB team when they were supposed to be riding for Italy or something.
