He won the Giro di Toscana, which surely cannot be totally flat, especially looking at past winners and having some geographical knowledge. Maybe he has been sick but why carry on if you are getting dropped on the flat stages?

My thoughts exactly. Mind you, Goss has been sick and only finally pulled out today. Perhaps it was just a compassionate move from Goss today for the fans - save them giving money to the bookies when they lump on him for a will it/won't it sprint stage

European not Worlds. He came 3rd and 4th in the Worlds.

Edit: but the point still stands.

Pedant!

I still haven't forgiven Bos for his Tour of Turkey assault.

Quite how he got away with that, is beyond me.

Just watched the highlights. Not great for me, my 'guesses' were all horribly wrong. Should have stuck with what I had, but went all in to try to catch 1066...now distanced in 3rd.

5, 10, 11, 12.

Back to the drawing board.

Oh, and Gavazzi got me 10 points. I knew I could rely on him.

Thinking of buying a road bike.

What's a fast and good looking bike under £1000!

Thanks

It even says that it's the best £1000 bike you can buy.

Unfortunately not, he ended up with a DSQ for towing. The 10 pts you've been given will be nicked back I expect.

What an utter cock.

Looking at the NSC table there seems to be very little movement.

Was desperate to finish the Giro on a flat sprint stage on the last day in his town of Brescia. His team manager has said he'd warned him before, it's a lesson learnt for him and didn't offer much sympathy.

So spend them, QUICK.

Apart from the steady creep of sneaky 1066!

Well, I've done my transfers, and used up all my credit. How do I spend points that I win?

Why has that got 35mm tyres?

Sweets, buy lots of sweets.

You don't, but indulge Boris for us, it's a harmless enough past time after all

He could put it towards the purchase of a NSC cap perhaps? A bit like saving up green shield stamps.

Why have I become Boris?

I knew when I typed it that it was a bit of a whooosh moment. Oh well. I'm off to get a quarter of cough candy twist.

FMR! I've just checked out tomorrow's profile. I'd love to have a go at that. In reality though, I don't think I'd survive it. On this basis, if I ever decide to close my account, that's where I'll head with my bike.

I appear to be joint 7th in the league. Something can't be right. I expect my reckless transfers will do me in tomorrow.

As for the cap, count me in whatever.
