This suggests it might be quite cold...

moral winner - fancy that.

Just because he initiated the attack on the crashed leader (there's that honourable Vino for you) doesn't me he did the most work after the fact.

Cadel bridged to Vino's lead group and then chased Vino down when he attacked that group. They then shared the work a bit until they went away as a pair. Vino attacked again and Cadel and Cunego chased.

Watch the vid - with 2k+ to go Cadel is out front until he almost stacks it with 1.2k remaining, Cunego passing him. Cadel chases Cunego back down and then wins from the front. Fantastic ride and shows that the 'Cadel was a lazy wheelsucker' crew have no idea about his actual racing. Sat on the front for almost the entire last 2k and still wins makes his effort even more amazing. Legend.

Fuck Vino.

he initiated the attack... he attacked that group... Vino attacked again...

Bruh

Sat on the front for almost the entire last 2k and still wins

ftfy

Oops, almost forgot. Fuck Vino.

^Totally unbiased!!!

;)

Now, I'm pretty sure I'd have the same opinion of Vino no matter which country I was from (save for Borat's) :)

You’d get on well with the folks that run Kazakhstan. Although, they’ve already fucked him...

Carlton Kirby is talking more shite in the track worlds, saying one of the women sprinters was visibly flexing their bts because you could see her back wheel skip out on the slow mo. Looked more like bad bike handling to me.

Also said she was on 3d bars and she clearly wasn't.

Anyone know why Australia have sent a small team? I see they haven't sent a team pursuit squad. Is it because of the commonwealths?

A flick? Who was it?

Aussies will be focused on Comm Games, especially since it's in Aus this year.
It's still got good rep back home. Something worth winning.

I see what you mean. I don't think he literally meant the bikes were flexing just that it was moving about underneath her. She was out of the saddle so probably lost some traction on the rear wheel when trying to accelerate past the other girl.

Kirby does little else huh. I’m loving having Jo Rousell-shand as commentator though, she’s called him out talking bollocks a fair few times now. Hope she doesn’t get fed up with his nonsense and pack it in.

It was nearly 8 years ago. Let it go.

And while I'm here, we haven't had this for a while.

Let what go? Cadel winning the stage?

Would he have won more if he doped?

Almost certainly. He should've won another couple (of Tours) if it weren't for dopers.
