    It’s not the first time Ewan has cheesed team members off.

    Some riders are easier to ride for than others.

    Not a massive Cav fan either but there’s a reason the polemics are as much about his generosity and leadership in the team as they are about his achievements.

    Better to quit early than have a team continue working for a lost cause. These guys know when they don’t have it.
    If he knew he was off form before the start though…
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Pog is closing in on Jonas like its zenos paradox ...halfing the time gap every attack but never getting there

    It’s like when I try to play darts. Need double 16, hit a single, then a single 8, then a single 4 etc. until constantly stuck with a double 1 to finish.

    Unsurprisingly, Ewan's agent isn't best pleased. But it's hard to argue with a lot of what he says, especially given how many wins Ewan has brought to the table since he's been at Lotto.

    Mmm seems a clash of cultures.

    Perhaps it’s not the most professional to air the frustration in the press but then, it’s entertainment and that’s part of it.

    The lotto boss probably had better visibility of evans and his performance than we do, and he’s obviously p!ssed off.

    It’s a results business after all.

    I thought his punditry on ITV was OK.
