Cool, I'll be there with the club so if you see us in our blue and white kit give us a shout. I'll be the guy with the cowbell and vuvuzeladish_dash wrote:Paul 8v wrote:Impressive!
Who's going to the world cup event in exotic Milton Keynes then? Can't miss that when it's on the doorstep
I'll be there. It's just up the road... very much looking forward to it!

I was more worried about the vuvuzela!0

Yeah, it's pretty loud, I scared myself the first time I used it! It turned up at work and I snuck up behind a guy who was doing the washing up and he nearly threw the plate across the room, he was genuinely terrified. I certainly won't sound it when the riders are near, don't want to put them off!0

and his younger brother David fourth !!
Stybar racing this year as well?0 -
Stybar raced cross the winter before he came close to winning PR didn't he? I guess it gives him a base level of fitness ahead of the classics0

Stybar and Van der Poel both doing Ronse today, start at 3pm CET
First time for Stybar in the rainbow jersey he won last February!0 -
I'm currently stood in a field near Ronde. Conditions are soggy after a dump of rain overnight. Beer is cheap and plentiful, atmosphere good, cowbells abound"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

The famous downhill section is a ridged, muddy mess. Everybody tri Podding it first lap"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Stybar saying before the start his technique is really rusty. Wilfred Peeters doing his pit today"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Van Der Poel looks caned already."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Thanks for this. My planned ride today is getting shorter and shorter! May as well go out on the crosser...0 -
Interesting that Nys is back on cantis. Only Van der Haar/Van der Poel are on disks out of the leaders.0

Nys' pit bike has discs. I think there's an attitude of "ain't broke don't fix"."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Nys with a big gap at the end. V D Poel 2nd escaping from Pauwels, Van Tournhout and V D Haar in the last couple of laps. Pauwels 3rd in the sprint"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Odd photo this one given how bright his helmet is compared to the rest.
Contador is the Greatest0 -
Yeah, I saw that on twitter. That sucks for him, he was on great form0
-
It's a shame, but he broke it in his last cross race of the autumn. I think he was planning on riding a few races around Christmas too, and he might ride the Worlds still, but it depends how it fits in with his training for the classics.0

Stybar's broken collarbone came in the same town as his Eneco Tour faceplant, fact fans."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"
