That on-bike footage from Cav at the ToC was pretty neat. I'd like to see it stabilized as well.

Not to be. Great move by Jimmy Engoulvent on the last stage of the Four Days of Dunkirk. Switched into other lane from break before his final kick.

No, just white.
Which is why i have a soft spot for French teams Europcar who fielded the first black guy to ride the TDF Yohann Gene and also have Kevin black Reza in their squad (both of West Indian descent) and Francais du jour who of course have Nacer Bouhanni of North African Algerian background.
Oh and then there are all the 'Mestizos' from Columbia who have been in the pro peleton since the 1980s, Quintana being the latest in a long line.
I've always thought of the U.K. bike racing scene as a bit like the local golf club, a bit sniffy and exclusive...

Marianne Vos turned 27 today, which is worthy of congratulations of course, but not nearly as worthy as her 307 wins (as opposed to E. Merckx' 296 at the time of his 27th birthday)
Not a fair comparison. Look who Vos has been up against in her career and look who Merckx had to contend with.

What, and that is a fair comparison?

Merckx failed three doping tests. Compare that with Vos.

You are right of course Vos is the superior rider all her 307 wins were achieved whilst injecting herself only with bread and water.
Meanwhile the hapless Merckx had to resort to amphetemines and cortisone just like the rest of the peleton in his day...

Long ride today?

Oh, Merckx is in the clear because 'everyone else was doing it'. Right.

@ Geezer-Jimmy. If I was a "bit of a cunt" you would be up me like shot, you come across as so hard up...
Comparing Vos's win ratio to Merckx's is just nonsense which is why I let this go two days ago.
You sonny boy on the other hand had to come on here and have a little pop at me didn't you? lol...
A life lesson for you take it or leave it. We all hold opinions in this world on many kinds of different topics. calling people you don't even know "cunts' on the Internet just because you disagree with them is little bit of a fail on your behalf.

Oh shut up you cunt
relax, guys
as to the comparison between the world's greatest cyclists, some argument other than 'just nonsense' would be appreciated, mr. Fignon
