"It was eleven more than necessary." - Jacques Anquetil - After winning a race by twelve seconds. A 40 something young buck who has spent too many years living the Indurain "Winter Diet"...Clydesdale by nature but Anquetil at heart and always trying to do more, go more, ride more. Family with a couple of sons who I am indoctrinating in to the ways of V.

@scaler911 Great evocative article @Brett. I was only commenting the other day with a cycling buddy how life has become so much easier now that the full winter regalia has been put to bed for the summer up here…although the weather forecast here toda… »

@DerHoggz I use Conti GP4000s on N1 but to be honest I am not their biggest fan and I am slowly wearing them out so I can replace them, I prefer Vittoria tyres…the Evo Techs are nice, punctures are a matter of luck and I think some of the experience … »

@E Not sure about your analogy here..? By far the greatest proportion by area of a flak jacket is not designed to stop a high velocity round (which incidentally in war zone is far more likely to be 7.62mm or 5.56mm) but in fact is a Kevlar weave design… »

I cannot see Twiglet being given preference of Froomedog in the Tour. Although David Brailsford is a dick, he is not stupid. Pippi Longstockings has shown little form so far this year, yet Froome looks to be in good shape. Why would you set your team u… »
