He's allowed. He's the new sheriff in town. (Have you seen his fukken stats?)

I'm not one for Stats in my cycling...I would find it too depressing. I haven't looked at the club for a while but will check [MENTION=16679]Hangullton[/MENTION] out!

Anyone else excited that the Classics season has now started? 2 x Quickstep victories at the weekend.

Three from three now.

Grab a couple of Italian beers on your way home & put your feet up with the highlights Stat. Sure to be an hour or two to enjoy in the evening!

Annemiek VV in a different postcode again yesterday. Gotta love her. Nice 5th for Cecilie UL too.

Paris Nice begins.

Nasty crashes everywhere again yesterday in the Paris Nice, with the strong winds causing havoc. Hopefully Barguil will be back on the bike soon after breaking a bone in his neck.

Bu**er. Hope he mends up soon.

That crash involving BORA & a pedestrian was scary yesterday at the T.A. TTT. The guy who walked across the road looked like he was out for the count (not surprising being hit at almost 60kph) so really hope he is ok....but why the hell were the marshalls / police just standing there chatting together & not doing their job?!

Watch the video and wince!

Good day for the Yates Bros yesterday!

Fantastic win in the Paris-Nice for Bernal yesterday....SKY dominating the GC yet again, but a great week of racing on the whole.
Chuffed that I came 27th in the Velogames fantasy too....promising start to the season!

Shades of TDF '89 today, with Adam Yates being beaten to the Tirreno title by just a single second in the TT by Roglic.

Heads up. Steyning high street closed on Sunday 26th March. If ya planning a ride that way.

Nasty crash in the final sprint yesterday at Nokere Koerse. Luckily I dont think anyone was seriously hurt, but Van der Poel was taken away by ambulance unfortunately.
Hope the commisaires penalized the Vital Concept rider who came right across the front of the group to start the carnage by taking down the Sunweb rider.

I can't say I'm surprised. And I wouldn't be shocked if a certain former mountain biker were involved either.
