Taking place this Sunday. Apparently Robert Heras will be having another go. My question is, which other riders would you like to see on a Brompton?

Can't really hope for Britain's current stars to ride, but what about Jason Queally? Not so long ago that he was at the top?

Mario Cipollini can't seem to stay retired for long. Could he produce the goods on a Brompton and without a leadout train?

  • Abdojaparov would get my vote - the Tashkent Terror on a Brompton!!

    Shit, what a thought Abdu on a Brompton :roll: Hadn't thought of that, too many innocent bystanders :wink:

    Maybe the winner should get a rainbow jacket?
  • Could Jason Queally do the Le Mans start with those monster thighs?

    I'd like to see Sophie Dahl on a Brompton.

    Yes indeed.
    Fixed gear for wet weather / hairy roadie for posing in the sun.

    What would Thora Hurd do?

    I'd like to see James Martin try it on Sunday.

    I imagine the other 599 riders might have something to say to him.

    He would trip over one of his chins whilst running for the start.
