I don't recall the precise details but it's something like BC removed the branding from their factory standard wheels and allowed the rumour to spread that they were made from exotic off-planet unobtanium. Laughing at French protests of unfair advantage must have relieved much track centre tension.
They weren't factory standard wheels. BC dodged a bullet on that one.
No, they weren't factory standard, they "were more round!". Brilliant.
More round and non-standard.0 -

So the only thing to be resolved now is who's using Anti Troll as an alter ego?
Hand on heart I can say that I've never posted on here, nor the clinic before - just always been one of those lingering guests! Now I've taken the plunge, I might be a bit more active though. :twisted:0 -

Nothing else to talk about. Maybe Cav will swear at someone again.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

Absolutely - not a job to wish on anyone. Cookson always comes over as being pretty level headed though - just the niggly stuff about BC/Sky crossover and potential conflicts of interest.
Been talking to Conor McGrane, the Irish sports doc who was part of the attempt at CI to deselect Pat McQuaid (now there's a revolutionary council idea if you like) - they only failed on a technicality. Of course this could all be moot when ASO sell the Tour - I notice they've been talking about decoupling testing from the UCI again.
Apologies if there's a better thread to discuss this kind of stuff in? If so, please move my post to the appropriate place.0 -

To be fair, there's about 15 pages worth of people asking why this theead's gone on so long... Another 20-odd pages of people desperately trying to suggest that there's a smoking gun whilst others have been arguing that they've seen no gun, smoking or not, or evidence of any bullets.... (although they did find a doc, and a few others, who may have had an old gun catalogue in their previous uniforms)...
So on that basis, we're still owed lots more pages of your actual "content", which I think we've established doesn't exist, so we can't have...0
