I would be offended if this didn’t happen tbh…

Ooo I didn’t know I was performing while I read for half n hour while my kids have their swimming lesson. Next time maybe I’ll throw a hat down see if anyone throws me some change!

Nah they will just divert the bike path to the first major A road and dump you into 2 lanes of 70 mph traffic with one of these:

Would it make it open? Jonas was 6 mins clear of anyone else at last years tour.

Did she know about the house party. Cause you could land him in it many years later…

Reminds me of when I went to see Wiggo try and break the UK 10 record on a weekday night TT in Hull. He was world champion at the time! It was awesome

Still wouldn’t hack it on a rainy Tuesday night in a club 10 in the lay-by of an A road in outskirts of Stoke of course.

This is the real world cost to the sport and its fans.

Many people will just say “just pay the money” but the fact is. I simply don’t have the money spare to spend on what would be a luxury purely for myself in our family budget. It would stop a kid from doing a club they would love and enjoy. Or mean a day out less a month with them.

I’ve watched and loved this sport for nearly 2 decades and one season where I’ve been priced out of coverage and this is the result. How on earth is the sport supposed to attract new fans. When the current situation is turning off old ones.

This year I watched Paris Roubaix on my phone via my parents Virgin Media login and the Tour coverage on ITV4. So disconnected from the world of cycling due to lack of affordable coverage of a sport I love have I become that I didn’t even watch the world championships.

Fred Wright.. and his 1 pro win was a NC so there is a debate whether that counts or not anyway!

I can’t believe the number of jam first deviants in your replies Peter. We need to start a watch list.

Tippex!

They have accidently ordered another load of “G” branded merch and are trying to cover their tracks

But more likely ineos have offered more money and he reckons they have good lawyers and/or they can afford the pay out.
