    McEwen's electric motor is a bit noisy...

    He mentioned after posting the vid that he had plenned on using it tomorrow but because of the vibration it causes and the noise it makes, he probably wont

    Allcameras make that noise it is just the wind, it is easy to edit it out, he probab;ly is not IT savvy :D
    He could mount the camera somewhere else also to dampen vibration.

    He has never quite recovered from being pipped to the line during the 2009 Milan-San Remo. Bless.

    I'm sure he was recovering fine until Cav decided he couldn't get past and ran into him several months later ... Cav is an excellent sprinter, and part of that is knowing how to fight dirty when necessary ... but endengaring your own, and someone else's chances in the focal point of the season for a Tour de Suisse stage is hardly a smart move ...

    Hopefully he will suffer the same fate, wearing Rainbow ... Let's see how easy 'Project Green' (and Gold) is then ... 'That's bike racing' ... apparently ...

    you poms need to get over yourselves given the crash was clearly Cavs fault. Why cant you accept that and move on. :P
    Cav is an awsome sprinter but we all make mistakes

    Crankbrother's open hatred for Cav reminds me of another forum tool - Connoreymade. One and the same?

    Tit.

    You need to watch that crash again but loose the rose tinted specs and the chip on shoulder first.

    I don't 'hate' Cav ... I enjoy him being put in his place every now and again to remind him that being the best requires hard work and your fair share of luck ...

    My 'quote' still stands ... Cav (nor the ultuistic idiots on here) could complain should someones 'over enthusiasm' take him to the ground HARD ...

    The fact that you describe me as a 'tool' on the basis that I don't have an overtly nationalstic love of a complete stranger (to all if not most on here) says it all ... One can only hope you are not charged with bringing up children with such an attitude ... If you are, cancer and fast buses will hopefully save us from that particular gene pool ...

    He called you a tool on the basis that you're clearly a tool. Your own retort added considerable strength to his case.

    And your opinion was asked for when? And by whom?

    I gave my opinion on 'pro racing' and had what I am assuming is a grown man calling me names ... I replied in kind ... Let's leave itat that ...

    I knew the word before but never read the definition. Quite good actually.

    A crank belief is so wildly at variance with those commonly held as to be ludicrous to many. Cranks characteristically dismiss all evidence or arguments which contradict their own unconventional beliefs, making rational debate an often futile task; this is the essential defining characteristic of the crank: being impervious to facts, evidence, and rational inference.

    A fighter's belief is so wholly tainted by Spanish propaganda that he has now become a strict vegetarian and a wholehearted fan of true racing ...

    The definition of French, well we'll leave that to the rest of Europe (and Texas) ...

    It can't be long before power metre data and gears from the electronic shifters are transmitted live, like the speedos that you see on F1 coverage!

    I didn't see Hausler crashing? it's fake!

    As for FF take on 'crank beliefs', I think 'ironic' is the best term to use.
