Can anyone else look at him without thinking of Tubs from League Of Gentlemen?

    Not a League of Gentlemen fan at all (I just dont get it) I guess you mean the "woman" from the local shop for local people with the pig nose? Yes he does :lol:

    I saw a photo of him recently, smiling and waving to the camera and you could see the awkwardness about it all, he looked very uncomfortable trying to appear relaxed.

    Thank god someone else noticed it I've been saying it everytime I see him on the TV and the squeaky voice doesn't help either. "This is a local race for local riders".

    I've always thought he looked a bit like a Thunderbirds puppet. But now I think he looks more like Tubs

    Maybe ugly blokes do best as pro-cyclists because during their teenage years they don’t tend to pull on a Friday / Saturday so always make it out for a training ride instead of slinging their duds on and staggering home from some strange girls house they woke up in. Think about it; for every swoonsome Tom Boonen figure there’s at least two dozen others with a face like a dropped pie.

    Needs a bit of polish as far as theories go...

    :wink:

    It's all that crashing into lamp-posts and parked cars that makes 'em ugly.

    Apparently he's road-testing a new top-secret Campag groupset for this Tour - not many details available, but the number of sprockets has been increased to twelvty. Journalists trying to get a closer look at the new technology were told not to touch the precious things. :wink:

    I'd respect and like him more if he didn't whinge the whole time. Not the People's Favourite if the other posts are anything to go by.

    He needs those scary rosyton vasey lips to suck the amount of wheel that he does.

    He'll probably be a bit more laid back and chatty once he's had a bit of prime time with the bfriend.
