  1. Nice to see Zlatan Ibrahimovic has got an acting job.
  2. Pish. He left because he was wasted at Team Sky. Also, I see Tony Martin once again wiped the time trialling floor with everyone at the Chrono de Nations. The guy is an absolute beast at time trials. I think he'd probably have beaten Wiggins at the Olympics if he hadn't sustained that injury before the games.
  3. Went out for a leisurely 9 mile spin with my dad there. Not bursting any records, but it was a lovely day for a go on the bike.
  4. On the subject of winter gear, I don't know if anyone on here is familiar with Ozzo clothing. Boiled down, it's great quality cycling gear at great prices. I've 2 pairs of shorts, a pair of windstopper gloves, a jacket, a pair of overshoes and a pair of arm warmers from them so it's safe to say I'm a fan .
  5. I liked the texts sent from the mum's phone in the first series . "You were a failed abortion. Love mum xxx" :lol:
  6. I wonder what the odds of Renshaw now signing for Omega Pharma Quick Step are.
  7. The Carmunnock Road descent. I got up to 2nd, then got beaten again. I think where it's won and lost is when the descent slows and kicks up a tiny bit, because on the downhill stretches I've hit 46 mph.
  8. The writers of this have got the pace of it nearly perfect. Not guns going off and explosions left, right and centre but there's always something going on that keeps you completely gripped.
  9. Just finished episode 3. Fucking hell. It just gets better and better.
  10. Heart breaking cycling moments: Climbing a steep hill, blowing out your arse then looking down to realise you've no gears left.
  11. We've not seen what the entire video says yet. So it may look dodgy, but could it be that it just looks like a suicide note as opposed to an "I'm a terrorist" note? Terrific writing in this, that's for sure. I can see the daughter being more central to Brody.
  12. Ooshyafucker. The ending of that episode was terrific.
  13. I've been sitting 3rd on a descent for ages. I think it's pretty much just practice, practice, practice.
  14. Nothing is quite as soul-destroying as a wind that changes ends at half time.
  15. I've thus far only had one proper clipless moment. Went up to a set of traffic lights completely forgetting I had the SPDs on. Thankfully the car next to me didn't go mental when I grabbed on for balance.
  16. I work in the Co-op next to there. I avoid Cathay Cuisine like the plague since everything tastes like it has half a kilo of salt in it and I once saw a pigeon fly out the kitchen. Dunno if the pigeon had flown in or escaped right enough.
  17. I went to Ichiban earlier. I absolutely decimated some prawn nigiri, prawn tempura and a chicken katsu curry. It was superb.
  18. Had a half hour spin on the static trainer earlier after throwing the toys out the pram at the weather for the 3rd time this week. Decent enough effort and feeling not too bad after it.
  19. That last wee kick up to the finish was pushing 24-25%. Cotaldo looked like he could barely get the pedals to go round! Honestly, I don't think I'd be able to get the wheels turning on a gradient like that. I'd just flop onto my side in a puddle of sweat, failure and embarassment .
  20. Going by Contador's end to the mountain stage the other day, I'm going to say no. Froome will be protected all the way up again by the Sky train.
  21. Does anyone else on here use Strava? It's a free iPhone/Android app that tracks your cycling routes. This is me on Strava: click. I've been doing circuits up to Waterfoot and back round a lot recently to get up to a proper level of fitness before going further afield.
