    Good stuff!

    For me he gained legend status when he crossed the line at the end of the Alpe d'Huez time trial at the 2004 Tour - pulling a one-handed wheelie while mopping his brow with the other hand. Amazing stuff, especially since the finish straight is on a fairly steep bit of road as well!

    I've heard he does that at the top of every mountain top finish.

    It's easy to wheelie uphill, lets see him do it down the other side :twisted: :wink:

    Edited to sort out spelling, what's wrong with me at the moment? :roll:

    I'd like to see you do it after 200km of Alps, at the back end of 3 weeks of the hardest fought road race of the year :twisted:

    Robbie signed a shirt for me at the hotel after the last stage of the TdF 2008.
    Mr Cadel Evans refused.
    Robbie.. - friend of my old Boss, Shane Sutton - is a Top Guy!!!

    Now that is a challenge I'd love to take you up on. I'd fail of course but It'd be fun trying.
