Funny on my way home got caught up in a group ride from local club" Reading Bike Club ". We spoke about cycling in groups a while back and its not for me. Some bloke was shouting "pot hole" !!!!. Then there all pointing towards the tarmac as if I do not know that road having cycled the route for over 30 years. Any way after a few miles we parted company with a cheery wave.
I shall continue cycling on my own unless we are out on a tenths ride this summer. |

Great job from Cav' and his team indeed. Van Moer must be bitter…

A great sprint from the 'Manx Missile', but Van Moer, rode all day at the front. Cav gets the prize, but Van Moer is way down the bunch at the finish.
Life and cycling do no seem fair sometimes. When you see the fuss people and the media make over a load of overpaid footballers, prancing around for 90 minutes (?), and compare what they do with the likes of Rogic and Thomas, to name but two, I wonder about the values people have when it comes to 'sport'. |

I agree Bob but I am sure Mr Cavendish is not short of a few Bob. Get it "Bob".

We can discuss this endlessly I think. Taking in count that cycling is probably the most demanding sport, and very dangerous when you see the speed achieved, all those riders should receive loads of money. But…

The singles winners at Wimbledon get £1,700,000. Cav may be comfortable but he's not super-rich. Last edited by Alan Morgan; 30 Jun 2021 at 15:41. |

Oh dear - you've got me started now.
Geraint Thomas crashed a couple of days ago and dislocated his shoulder. The medics popped it back in and he rode another 100K to finish the stage. He did a time trial today which must have been very uncomfortable on a TT bike. Footballers are elite athletes and are used to enduring the inevitable pain and injury which comes with their sport. What I don't like is the play-acting during a match. It's basically cheating as far as I'm concerned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IInwxgWaRq4 |

ageing cycling heroes
Cav and his reception was wonderful on Tuesday, and now the Manx midget and Quickstep do it again. Unbelievably impressive. Is he almost as famous as the sainted Bob yet?

Mohoric, seul sur terre! Did you see the average speed? 45,5 kph! Average, not maximum.

Fascinating stage today. It could be a very interesting weekend...
Shame about Roglic but the other two Slovenians are making up for it. Good to see Matej Mohoric come back from this horrific crash on the Giro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17qtRLCIHZo&t=31s |
