"Unfortunately as a result the Magura riders have gone down in my estimation too. There was a big difference between the professional riders on the Scott and Giant teams who were patient and courteous (and went on to finish 1st and 2nd) and at least one of the riders racing for Magura. The bridges in the singletrack at the top of the course after the long climb really were not wide enough for over taking. Still a certain Magura rider saw a gap that didn’t really exist and went for it."

Hmm. Wonder who this could have been? If only there was photographic evidence of "unorthodox" overtaking... Coming though...

'Bert Clenbutador, aka "the Weapon" (something to do with coming from a small town near Madrid called El Nugget) has been banned for 2 years, back dated to about 18 months ago. So he didn't win the 2010 Tour or 2011 Giro. No one can now remember who did and even they aren't really bothered anymore. So if you have a bad memory and get invited to a special do somewhere warm you may be in luck. Its also an "Eeeeeeerrr........No." for this years Boucle. Apparently every pro pedalist in the world has now realised they should have done a lot more training over the winter for the Giro, or to go for the Tour-lympic combo. The provisional start list for the - 15 summit finish - 2012 Vuelta is now just Saxo Bank as everyone else has just pulled out. Steak your bets.

We are also very concerned about the impact on the ecology of the area and would draw your attention to our survey which is appended and the inescapable fact that 50 extra houses will considerably increase the number of domestic cats for which no mitigating action will act as a barrier. According to the RSPB and Mammal Society domestic cats are responsible for killing 275 million prey of which 55 million are birds.

Sounds like the brits spent too much time at the all you can eat Belgo-Chinese, being struck down with suspected food poisoning. "Styler" Stybar (pic below) also didn't win. 6 other Belgians didn't win either, but all 7 finished ahead of everyone else. Note to self - grub more witloof, drink more Jupiler, ride to the beach more often. Easy.

Late again, luckily got on the back of this Piaggio Ape 50 last night, cruising at about 12.5mph. No pain, no strain as they say.
