    It's going to cost you a fortune in new kit you know. For the rest of your life you'll be having to have your jersey adjusted to add the arm and collar rainbows... :lol:

    Well you'd better make sure you win them on Saturday as well, just so your kit kan double up for the road ;-)

    Two years though? Bet Thor is jealous :lol:

    Far be it for me to question a bona fide World Champion, but what on earth is going on with that helmet?

    Col, arrange a fund-raising ride, eg Macc into the peaks. Not everyone gets the chance to ride with a world champ. Plenty of well-wishers here whom I'm sure would be up for it and be very generous with the donations.

    And very well done sir!

    How many jerseys do you get?

    This thread is missing an FF phot slideshow and a discussion of cycling footwear.

    Good luck in the road race today Colin!

    Due to the Paralympics in September next year, they don't have Road Worlds. So I get to be World Champion for 2 years.

    @Tom BB - the Podium Girls were AWESOME. Alas - there were no kisses. But I nearly fell over walking onto the podium behind the whole line of them. :oops: I rode a Spesh last year but upgraded to Felt this year. And upgraded the frame mid-year again to the top-end Felt to make sure I had the best equipment I could afford. Every second counts!

    @Tusher - I get one jersey on the podium. It's a decorative thing anyway. After this I have to get all my own skin suits and clothing made up. Only requirement is that I race in the rainbow stripes in all TTs for the next 2 years. But I'll want jerseys and shorts and stuff to train in.

    @Riich - the helmet is pushed back on my head so that when I'm actually in my full TT position, it sits nice and flat on my back. The visor is quite deep so it comes down over my eyes when racing. Unfortunately, in those photos it looks horrible as I'm not fully aero yet!

    No live coverage that I can find. the best is this link which gives the unofficial results after the finish.

    Colins race is at 16:00 Danish time, so it will be another couple of hours before it is finished.

    I'm not aware of any TV coverage at all, or even any live tickers, and I'm here in Denmark, so there's probably nothing.

    The main site is here: http://www.paracycling2011.dk

    There's a link to unofficial results straight from the timekeeping that may be updated live, but probably just laptimes: http://filer.dhif.dk/User/it/paracycling/mylaps.htm?mylaps=type,event,eventid,712331

    Then there's a video page http://www.dhif.dk/document/default.asp?documentID=537&id=1108

    And of course a Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/paracycling2011

    If I find anything on local news I'll post it up!

    Came 6th in the road race today. Kinda blew my lights a little and got dropped from the lead group with a lap to go. But not a bad result.

    Colin, you must be exhausted. 6th is a great placing. Well Done!!

    Hope you're having a relaxing afternoon, and are going out somewhere nice for a slap-up meal. Even elite athletes like you can have a day off- eat, drink and be merry!

    Good effort, now hope you can relax and enjoy Roskilde/Copenhagen :-)

    There's a pint on me if you're up for it!
