There were sections of that TTT done at 111kph :-/

Can't believe they're slower than me solo.

Charlie Tanfield managed to miss his start time in the Worlds Junior TT

Didn’t he do that at the national 10 champs too or was that his brother?

He can't blame traffic on the M25 coz his bike was already there...

Have been dipping in and out whilst on a two hour conference call- how much did he lose by being late?

He was over 1’30” down on the winner, in 27th. Ethan Hayter was 5th.

Rolled off the start just two seconds late apparently.

It was Harry T who missed his start at the nat 10s. Runs in the family.

Shots fired!

What a thrilling ... fight ...

Who gives a toss what Armstrong thinks?

Kimmage has weighed in and Millar currently making a tit of himself demanding Kimmage answers his phone.

Who gives a toss what Kimmage thinks?

Who gives a toss what David Millar thinks?

did I score a point? apologies if I don't understand the game on here atm

Millar does, clearly. Hence his little outburst.

Who would make the ideal candidate? Recently retired pro, widely respected? How about Jens Vogt?

If your were Jan Ullrich, struggling with addiction and sanity, would you rather be visited by Armstrong or the ghost of Pantani past?

I think the bigger issue is that the way the head of the CPA is elected is clearly undemocratic. Riders from countries with a large number of professionals, so France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the US, vote as a block, so all the Italian rider votes will go to Bugno for example. Riders from smaller countries can only vote if they attend the meeting in Innsbruck tomorrow. Universal suffrage and a secret ballot are basic foundations of democracy so really ought to be implemented.

Bugno himself retired in the late 90s so hasn’t been a pro cyclist for 20 years. You’d think the current generation would want someone who knew the challenges they faced now to represent them.

I’m not sure Millar is the right person, but a fair and open vote is surely a necessity?

The vote is today btw, not tomorrow.

hippy for president

Please submit your manifesto on the back of a beer coaster for consideration.
