    A reference to the commentator yesterday. It was a bit bizzare.

    Can anyone tell me how you pronounce his name?

    ( im norwegian and really dont know... )

    Ken-yuck (rhymes with book!)

    someone with better knowledge of how to express vowel sounds will have a more precise answer!

    No. He's got a dodgy Manx accent. Can't trust that. He probably thinks book rhymes with spook, bath with Cath and all sorts of stuff that's terribly wrong.

    Well I hope some of you are joking as it really is not a cool thing to do. I wouldn't do it under any circumstance even if I was drunk.

    And it has nothing to do with homophobia. I wont go into my views on the matter, which are quite clear to me, but I am certainly not an anti-gay activist.

    I was just asking as maybe these things are common place in some areas. I mean it is nothing anyone I associate with or respect would do but there do exist regional variations which would be interesting to inform oneself of.

    It's Ken YUCK not YACK nor NOW or NOFF. There's shed loads of them here. I wish his brother was still racing, he was bloody fast.

    If it rhymes with book, would it not be Ken-Yook?

    Nothing wrong with showing some affection fo' the homies suckaaa!!

    Seriously though, I'm not joking and I do it all the time. If you don't want to "associate or interact" with me just because I love my friends no matter whether they've got a d!ck or not then go right ahead. Peace out x

    If it makes you happy then I'm glad. A happy man marries the girl he loves, but a happier man loves the girl he marries.

    So it's pronounced Peter Ken-yuk Olympic Gold Medallist. That's settled then.

    I think Kennaugh is unlucky: a victim of the dismal team performance last year. Assuming he's fit enough for a GT, he'd surely be picked ahead of Xanadu if the primary concern was mountain support. It apears that the team is much more woried about flat/lumpy ambushes.

    Interesting given the chaos on the final Dauphine stage.

    This is weird. I stopped after the first 10 secs.

    So is FF now doling out snippets of homely wisdom? I could get behind that, it'd be a nice change from the usual!

    I think this is a link to an interview with him in which he speaks his mind about not making the Tour.

    Haven't watched it yet but apparently he speaks his mind. Up in my estimation.
