That list is incomplete, btw.
It was a Barloworld win, too.
The piece mentions it, but not by name and it wasn't a small win.
I remember it well."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Is that ten years ago??????
Doesn’t seem that long0 -
It was only supposed to be highlights of what they'd won since that interview, not a complete list. But now I'm intrigued.Blazing Saddles wrote:That list is incomplete, btw.

Soon the combined palmarès of half a dozen teenaged tenants of a Mancunian terraced house circa 2005, all of them mentored by Rod Ellingworth, will include:
1 Tour
1 Rainbow road jersey
12 Rainbow track jerseys
51 Grand Tour stages
1 Dauphiné
1 Paris-Nice
1 Sanremo
5 Olympic golds“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -
I like this bit:
Q: What is the world and Olympic team pursuit record?
Froome: Three minutes something?
Cummings: Three minutes, fifty-three something?
Thomas: 3:53.314. It?s mine.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
I don’t get the bit about the capital of Wales. Froome got it right.0

Ah, okay, You're talking about Cummings' win in the Coppa Bernocchi but that was in 2008, before the interview. I was trying to list some of the things they might not have imagined they would achieve, so only included wins from 2009 onwards.Blazing Saddles wrote:DeadCalm wrote:

One third of a famous triple...
Last night, before going to sleep I'd convinced myself that you were talking about Geraint's 2010 GB National Championship win (which I should have included along with that of Cummings in 2017) but was sure that was as a Sky rider.
Anyway, here's a revised list with a few extra wins added, although it is almost certainly still incomplete.
5x GC Tour de France ('18, '17, '16, '15, '13)
12x stage Tour de France ('18, '17,'16, '15, '13, '12)
1x GC Giro d'Italia ('18)

2x GC Tour of Oman ('14, '13)
2x GC Bayern-Rundfahrt ('14, '11)
2x GC Volta ao Algarve em Bicicleta ('16, '15)
1x GC Tour of the Alps ('17)
1x GC Paris - Nice ('16)
1x GC Tour of Britain ('16)
1x GC Tour Méditerranéen Cycliste Professionnel ('14)
2x National Championships Great Britain Road Race ('10, '17)

That's a pretty remarkable achievement by those three guys, especially when you consider that it ignores completely Geraint's hugely impressive track palmares.0 -

He got the capital right but that's not where the track is. It's in Newport.0
