that wasn't redhill cc by any chance was it? I got two tacks in my tyre on the last lap there last year along a quite a few others i believe. If they find who did it they should be forced to pay for everyones new tubs, cost would soon add up![url=http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19625655#p19625655]Wallace and Gromit[/url] wrote:Slight over-reaction in one response on that Twitter feed though saying it should be investigated as attempted murder!
I got taken out by tacks placed by "sabs" in the only road race last year where I was going particularly well. I wouldn't describe the sabs' actions as attempted murder (though watching your front tyre go flat through a high speed corner with most of the field coming past and swearing at you was not much fun!) but if I'd got hold of the f*ckers who put the tacks down then there most likely would have been murder, so red and thick were the "red mists" of competition!0 -

Paying for damage is too good for them. Birching, or madatory "death by turbo intervals" should be the minimum punishment!
It was the North Yorks evening league. Sadly, I think the sabs are proliferating like Japanese knotweed. :evil:0 -

At least they put them through. I'm a postie and most of the leaflet delivery guys I see either leave them hanging out of the letterbox or tuck them into people's gates. The worst ones are the time locked flats, they just throw a bundle on the floor outside

Neither date seems ideal for the pro race. Last year was probably one of the poorest fields for a .1 race on the UCI Calendar. No WT teams and only 1 of the weaker PC teams. Hopefully things will improve, but 22 May conflicts with California, Norway & World Ports Classic, while 12 June conflicts with Suisse, Koln & Limburg. Perhaps worth putting a tenner on ONE pro cycling. 0 -
Tried to follow this race but struggled to find much information. Was I looking in the wrong place? Another very poor quality field with no World Tour or strong Pro-Conti teams.0

The race is just a side show to justify closing the roads and charging 12,000 riders £50 a time. It's already not popular due to the disruption it causes (but to be fair the communication was a million times better than last year and they made a couple of minor improvements that really helped with the disruption) so you can imagine what would happen if people found out the closures were only needed so that a bunch of amateurs could give their £5,000 toys an airing. They covered the event on the local news but didn't bother giving the race result or even showing the finish!0
