Hi there.

Watching cycling.tv this winter I noticed that the pro's never wear glasses when racing. I guess this is because it's easier to blink to get the mud out of your eyes then it is to clean the lenses?

I have read an interview with Sven Nys where he said it can take the irritation in his eyes 2 or 3 days to clear from all the grit that accumulates in a race!

Now that I've started wearing contact lenses I have a choice - wear glasses with clear lenses or wear no glasses at all.

My last race of the season is tomorrow 1pm - answers quick please!

Cheers, Andy
