King Carlos!
I could create a psychological thriller based on this cast. It would be set in Cordoba and Seville. Beta plays the second son, troubled soul who's over-fondness for churros has led him astray many a time. Beta is always out of favour with his father Piti - who himself has the darkest of dark pasts. He will not speak of those times, and no alsatian dogs are allowed anywhere near Casa Valverde since, well, you know....0 -
Betancur has actually been riding quite well this season - good for him.0

Hardly surprising, his national's form was abysmal.
At the after-party (well, charity do at Noa), Pete K was going right in at Alex for not doing his bit when they were out front with a few laps to go. Alex just said he had nothing, he's pooped.
How out of character for Pete :shock:
Just don't tell him it's a height-related attitude!!
I remember at Nationals in 2015, he had some new non-national bands bibs (having prev been champ) at Lincoln and I spent 5 mins having to put pins all the way round the leg cuffs because he'd shed that much, almost missed the start. Think he's carrying a few extra lbs at the moFollow me on Twitter - http://twitter.com/scalesjason - All posts are strictly my personal view.0 -

Shocking that any rider in WT thinks they can get away with taking EPO now. Stupid, in fact.
I actually think this will put more of a spotlight on his former team, than his current.Follow me on Twitter - http://twitter.com/scalesjason - All posts are strictly my personal view.0 -
