Sounds like Pete Williams (IG Sigma) has had one of his sprint points taken away - hands off bars - so Madrazo gets the Yodel Sprint jersey along with the KOM.0

Today's cheese was Wigmore from Risley, Berkshire.

Well - hand off bars and using it to push Madrazo away - a lot. Didn't look like Madrazo was doing anything to provoke this.0 -
Yep, coms got that right. Shame for Pete and team though.0

Is it OK if I say Bennett has had a great week?“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0

That’s about about 6 years of cheese for anyone, based on average consumption!poppit wrote:Archibold gets his weight in cheese! :shock:
Does he get a cheese like pictured sent each month or does he actually donate the total to somewhere with 50 people who have average cheese consumption, or to somewhere with 200 people where the average isn’t that high, like schools, hospitals or old people’s homes? (Because it will have to be eaten with a month or so)
If the latter, it also seems a shame because those institutions don’t usually serve cheeseboards, so the 'special' cheese will disappear into some sort of gratinee.0 -
Have to say that the camera placing for both the recent London finishes has been awful."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

It looked very vaguelly that Madrazo was starting to unintentionally drift across Willliams’ path – Madrazo does appear to have a somewhat uncoordinanted style. But I don’t think enough to warrant the push.Mad_Malx wrote:

Such pushes aren’t uncommon in amateur races. It would be interesting to see what Williams had to say about the incident, it was so obvious, but so far he’s skipped over it in his twitter.0 -
Took him a while to get the top off, he did a little "Shall I?" look to the crowdMad_Malx wrote:I'm sure they let the fizz out of Madraso's bottle. Cav's was a lot fizzier.
Then sprayed the poor podium girl completely with it
But then gave her the flowers to make up for it

Schoolboy error, that - goodness knows what he was thinking, but not what you expect at the top level. Cost himself a decent shot at winning the Yodel jersey competition.

It would be nice to see some WT team give him a ride. Would be great for the fans to see him duking it out in some harsh and heavy one day racers. Not enough hardcore riders these days.Contador is the Greatest0 -
