I went to watch Stag 2 of this years Tour of Britain and went to one of the King of the Mountain climbs. I went up at a resonable rate, waited and then they came up. They were chatting and laughing! I got up at 21km/h, they got up it at about 28km/h whilst chatting!

Aye, its a cracker, I saw him in Dublin airport not long after it had come out and I got him to sign it Gemmill, if you're about this weekend and fancy watching some Road racing. The World Championships are on at the moment, Mens Elite is Sunday and Womens is Saturday, should be a good watch. Other Cycling reads too which are canny.

Maritimo v Newcastle United --- 20/09/2012

Gutted. Went out training early last night so I could get home, showered and changed for the match. What a dickhead, lesson learnt, check kick off times -
Aye when really Kimmage should be applauded for some much he has done for the sport in terms of anti-doping. I also read today that Verbruggen isnt going to take action against Hamilton in stuff he said in his book. Says it all really!

Maritimo v Newcastle United --- 20/09/2012

WTF, I thought this was on ESPN? Isnt it on at all, only via rivers? -
I DO think Wiggins is clean, he can sustain certain wattage/kg due to his track background. If you saw in the Tour this year when put under pressure on some climbs Wiggins struggled, this is why he wont finish top 5 in next years Tour IMO. Next years Tour is the 'centenary' and will involve a lot of famous mountains and mountain top finishes, something Wiggins isnt the best at when under pressure. I also beleive Cav etc are clean. Who I am suspicious about is Froome & Rogers. The Froome situation is laughable to be honest. He was never a GC contendor at Barloworld (His previous team) he was an OK time trailist c30-40placeings. I went to watch Sky in the Giro d'Italia in 2010 in Amsterdam. Froome was up against Wiggins (He won the prolouge), Evans, Millar etc some of the best time trailists in the world and was placed about 35th. A year later he is suddenly 2nd in the Vuelta and pushing Wiggins for leadership? Not only that, but on some of the steepest climbs in the Vuelta EVER! He then does the same in the Tour & Vuelta again! No progression, just a rocket of progression that stinks of doping. He didnt start training until April / May this season due to a blood infection, funny how he had to have some sort of blood tranfusion! So May training then suddenly his pushing for GC in the Tour? Feck off! I dont think there is systamtic doping in Sky as there has been in previous teams in the past. The fact that they said they would vet EVERYONE who entreed the team and if they had anything to do with doping they wouldnt be allowed in, well, like you say what about Gert Leinders? Why hasnt anyone pressed Sky about this matter? It was mentioned during the Tour, then left alone? It needs pressing and people should have answers. The Lance situation is a dissapointing one. NOBODY apart from Gustav Erik Larsson of Vacansoleil-DCM. He is ranked about 160th in the World. Why hasnt Wiggins said anything? This is where you can make all sorts of assumptions. Wiggins said after controlling a stage in this years Dauphine "It felt like we were the old US Postal Team". Would you really want to be associated with a team that everyone single one has now been done with doping offences? The peloton needs someone like Wiggins et al to speak out about Lance IMO but they are worried about Sponsorship etc. IMO They would attract more if they knew the leader or someone like WIggins spoke out! Wiggins had a rant in the Tour which was similar to a Lance rant and since then people are getting suspicious. IMO Wiggins is clean. However he has a responsibility being a GC contender (and winner) now of taking questions like that afer years of people like Lance doping. The Media (well Jurnos) need to take a hard stance too. US Postal and Lance in particular would vet all the jurnos in the media centre at the Tour. If they didnt like them or didnt want them there they would eject them! Sky are doing something similar. Before every press conference with Wiggins at the Tour (When he was in yellow) they said "Any doping questions will be ignored" Why didnt they go "Ok" get up and all walk out? If they cannot ask their questions, fuck em. Why should we give you and the Cathword Murdoch limelight.

Just watched the first one, thanks Tooj. The bollocks about Brailsford changing the team for the Giro, just for Cav just shows how much Sky have had an input on this. Thomas was always going to ride the Giro in prep to get some base in for the Track for London 2012. Kennaugh has raced the last 3 Giro d'Italia's and likewise he was going to ride the track stuff. The other guys, they were all going to be riding the Vuelta. Its a good docu, but a lot of the Cavendish & Sky stuff I take with a pinch of salt. Sky would have failed if they didnt take Cav there last season. He was out of contract and in the World Champ stripes, a massive 'coup' for Sky. BUT it was never going to work with the amount of General Classification (GC - Riders aiming to win stage races, Tour, Giro, Vuelta, Paris-Nice etc) riders Sky have. Sky are also adding more to their team for next season so its time for Cav to go. Only a few teams have the budget for him though and IMO he will end up at Omega-Pharma Quick Step. Cav has never been a Sky kind of rider, he isnt a person who looks at power meters and smashes the science stuff which Brailsford and the British cycling guys love. Cav races with his heart, with his head and instinct, he see's a gap and goes for it, he doesnt look at his power meter and think "Ive got 600m to go I am shifting 900w at the moment and can sustain x for y long"

Total Recall, canny, really enjoyed it -
I was watching the New the other night and was dissapointed with the people in London buring the American flag. Why are they allowed to do this? Why didnt the Police stop it from happening? What would happen if I, a white man started burining the Pakistani flag?

I see it too, from motorists too. I also see use of no indicators, use of no mirrors etc. Itsd a shite argument about red light jumping it really is.
