Tao Geoghegan Hart

No reference to his win of 2nd edition of the Drag Sprints in his palmares on Wikipedia...

Not quite a win. Third fastest in qualifying and then went out in the Q/Fs to @furious_tiles

Mind you I was chuffed with my 15th out of 25.

On a bike about 6 cm too big for him by the looks of things.

Condor Cycles referenced in Fotheringham's article

I still tell anyone that’ll listen about that derby win

Fucking hell!

On the G5.

Sir Jim has 3 other jets going spare

Somebody on the forum rides bikes?

He's not been "on here" for about four years? (too busy actually riding).

Oh yeah, must be the same reason he unfollowed me on twitter.

Not the constant stream of dick pics I was sending.

Somebody on the forum rides bikes?

No, flies private jets

Such a strange feeling. Briefly met the chap probably about 8 or 9 years ago, don't know him or anything about him at all but what I'm feeling right now can best be described as a feeling of pride. Or possibly just a sense of happy satisfaction that somebody only a couple of degrees of separation from me at some point in the past has done so well for themselves. Its just a happy story I guess.

Also, kind of wish I had spent the last 9 years becoming world class at something rather than getting fat and old. :D

Cool video. Is he the kid at the beginning?

Yep; CCH jersey + white shoes

Haha, you collected some world class watches though. So it’s all good.

Congratulations Tao , never met you but you’re a part of this extended lfgss family so straight away like dan, I feel pride too. Peace bro

Damn that makes me miss LFGSS peeps even more than usual!

Tao you pushed that big ring hard you the man well done again.

Currently on BBC breakfast news

Poor Tao, now he's a 'hipster from Hackney'.

There was also an amusing bit in one of the videos I watched, when a commentator said that Hub Vélo had been where Tao started hanging out in bike shops before joining Cycling Club Hackney--the latter predates the former by about seven years.

At least he's not from Kilburn. Kids from Kilburn aren't supposed to win the Tour.

Hi Oliver

I saw the TV interview with one of the Hub Velo owners yesterday on BBC London News. Shop in Clapton, right?

I think what Tao needs is some well deserved rest and break from the media. I hope he spends remainder of the year with his family and Hannah in London. Tao said that he’s not been home for over a year and no doubt this will take some time to sink in..

thank fcuk he’s not from Kilburn..
Hackney ftw.. :)

How does it feel to have beaten a Grand Tour winner @furious_tiles ??
