    Dissapointed. I thought this was going to be a different kind of 'view'. :wink:

    Apparently she's not into that kind of thing. Or the cheque wasn't big enough. Time will tell, I guess.

    Brilliant article. Fantastic athelete.

    Hopefully got another couple of Olympics in her yet.

    There isn't much in the world that's more fun that watching her ride a Devil. Love that a female track cyclist has caught the public's imagination.

    I wonder if Brailsford OKed that headline?

    She is without doubt the number 1 cycling talent in the world. I wonder if she'll make a serious effort to transition to the road? She seems to have everything nailed at the moment.

    I bet she has the potential to TT like a demon and given the power she has from such a small frame I'll bet she could climb too.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    Ah bless, Marriane's trying quite hard in that picture but you just know she'd sooner be on a bike mullering the opposition into the ground.

    Vos is already the complete article. I really meant potential rather than where she is today when it comes to Trott.

    She was wearing a dress last week. That's almost as rare as Contador wearing a dress.

    It's kinda like smug guardianista faux intellectualism mixed with daily mail bile and local rag childishness....

    It disappoints me she needs to even answer questions or notions of her getting her kit off.

    Agreed Rick - I suppose VickyP didnt Help, but even then it should be irrelevant. (although Tom Daly is constantly tweeting pics of himslef in the near buff at the moment so it does swing both ways)

    I'm feeling very liberal this week. I'm still really annoyed that someone told one of my gay friends she should nt bring her gf to our company BBQ becasue it might cause trouble! Somehow I doubt if the gf had been a bf it would have been fine!

    Grrrrrrr! Where's my pitchfork!

    What kind of trouble? For who? That's the sort of poisonous attitude that was around in 1930s Germany. People felt they couldn't associate with certain people if they wanted to get on in life.

    Having read the article that wasn't the question at all but HER extension of an answer to the question of all the modelling requests that she's had.

    Generally a good read.

    I know - It's so depressing that my friend has sort of just rolled over and accepted it too. Maybe I'm being naive and stupid and guardian reader about it becasuse I'm a middle class white guy but it's really got to me!

    Personally I want to give the other person a slap!
