Might not be quite right to place this on Pro cycling, but as a forum member is riding it (TT tomorrow, Road on Saturday) I thought I'd put this here to wish Pokerface the best of luck!

Good luck, ride hard!

    Not sure myself, maybe mods could move as they see fit? Thanks for the reminder though.

    Good luck & best wishes to Pokerface.

    FYI, check out his blog here...

    You'd be in good company if you wear rainbow stripes to bed - cav wore his madison rainbow to bed. And look where that got him. Good luck for the RR

    Chapeau

    Well done Colin. Now you can stick two fingers up to anyone when they say only a world champ should ride around in the stripes lol

    Seriously, thanks to everyone for the wishes!!

    Currently in bed resting up and yes... I am wearing the jersey! Hoping to add another one on Saturday (although that would be very optimistic!)
