    Brilliant news! And for a decent cause too. Hopefully he'll be riding the Severn Bridge RR and I can get me an autograph and a photo of the big guy.
    Let's close our eyes and see what happens

    Good to see, and a clubmate has scored a place on the team too so it's a double whammy for Wales :)

    First stop is the Perfs Pedal next weekend apparently.

    Hope he gets some TV coverage.

    Is he not nearly as old as you now? Are you going to stop growing? Where did you find this anti ageing device?

    Yeah, but he's riding again, lending his name to an excellent cause and will be seen about being a nice bloke which is what everyone wants.... They'll probably ride some "tougher" races too at some stage.

    It's great news. He's doing commentary with David Harmon on the Tour of Qatar, and he's been explaining the philosophy of the team, and his involvement with it.

    The main reason is exposure for the charity, whilst giving riders a chance to gain experience in racing. He is still a huge name in the sport, so his involvement hopefully brings maximun exposure. He sounds VERY excited about his comeback, and it is great to see a project that is all about giving.

    Chapeau to him & everyone involved with the team.

    Hope this doesn't stop his commentary work as he is really good to listen to.

    I'm pretty sure he blew past me at the start of the rhigos climb a year or so back. He said hello and I gasped a bit louder than usual.

    Does that count as having met him? :lol:
