Dowsett failing to get the top ten means Team GB will only have one TT rider in the Olympics next year.0

And Cummings was quicker than him...Dowsett failing to get the top ten means Team GB will only have one TT rider in the Olympics next year.0 -
Really enjoyed that, happy to see Kiry win.0

Really happy for Coppel - great ride, and a deserved result.0

Great to see Kiry on the top step, been a long time coming bu0
-
Good to see Kiri getting his own glory after all the monster pulls on the front of the peloton.0
-

yes - good result all round0 -

That was great. My missus is mad about Kiri and has no rational explanation. And I have no rational explanation as to why I don't press her to come up with one considering she's mad about him.
But, if I may; I think I've hit upon something that makes sense.
He's so apparently devoid of ego, personality and interest that he actually becomes fascinating.0 -
Great to see Kiry win, wasn't expecting those results!0

And that one will be Froome, not Dowsett.Dowsett failing to get the top ten means Team GB will only have one TT rider in the Olympics next year.Twitter: @RichN950 -
Get in Kiri. Great Result.
What happened to Uran...51st place :shock:0 -

Curious question - why does everyone like kiryenka?
He tends to be on the front of the sky train so the TV cameras are on him a lot. He churns out the power with no emotion on his face. And he owns a scottie.
TT's with a very flat back!0 -
So....what happened with Kiri when he was sat up on the hoods for a spell? Kirby and Hutch thought he'd popped and he didn't look like he was climbing.0

His dog's a Yorkie called Baxter, which is more improbable
He's utterly selfless - never fails to turn himself inside out for his leader in a race. He's also insanely strong. Great Kiry anecdote from the Vuelta, here

And he has one of the best positions on a bike in the peloton. The anti-Froome, if you like.0 -
He's also been at if for bloody ages hasn't he?
Was the right hand man for Valverde for a long time iirc?
He always seemed a useful diesel domestique with no charisma to me. The robot ulrich version of Sylvestre Szmid.0 -
Would you believe Kiry also enjoys watching cat videos?

It's always good to see a rider who normally rides for others, get a chance to ride for himself. He's not exactly the most charasmatic rider, but he has a good pain face and looks to always give everything.0 -

Baxter is the name of Ron Burgundy's dog in Anchorman. I assume that's where he's got the name from. I also assume Kiry's choice of aftershave is Sex Panther.[url=http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19709730#p19709730]Richmond Racer 2[/url] wrote:His dog's a Yorkie called Baxter, which is more improbableTwitter: @RichN950 -

He's been very consistent and his form on a bike is excellent. proper pain face expert, none of these Voeckler-isms. he's the real deal at gurning it out.0

You forgot to mention G.S. Grassi - Marco Pantani. Anyone able to name any other members of that team in 2005?He's also been at if for bloody ages hasn't he?
