The skinsuit made me do it.

For some reason I was wondering what had happened to him just the other day. Now I know.

I guess the US erection meant no one gave a fuck about the Vuelta. Was toight!
Happy for Rog after his Tour disappointment.

that's not how language works though.

It's how gears work. People need to be corrected so the language used is correct.

again, that's not how language works. good luck enforcing 'correct' usage.

Thanks, but I don't need to enforce it. I know what is right and like everywhere else in life I just need to make sure anyone I'm dealing with has clarified what 'they' mean when there's potential doubt involved.

I know what is right

neat

I know. I'm clever like that.

As Daniel Friebe put it, Movistar win the team classification. And in other news, water is wet.

Dowsett managed to bag himself a 2 year contract

Not sure if this was already news...
Michael Woods to ISN in support of Froome.

The average age there is going to be about 33 at this rate.

Unsurprising, after a good few years at EF, and at 33, he'll probably be wanting one big payday before retiring. With a bucket load of UCI points thanks to quite a few WT top 10's, multiple podiums and a couple of wins, he's very valuable to a team like ISUN

Surprised to see George Hincapie masquerading as a student on University Challenge last night.

Exactly what I thought too!

Congrats to Lizzie Deignan on topping the UCI rankings. She’d have been further clear but for what looked like a nasty crash just before the European champs.

Alex Dowsett going for the Hour in Manchester, December.

On the 12th.

In other news, Chloe Dygaert has signed a four year deal with Canyon-SRAM.

Make SRAM great again!

Not sure where the Deignan story comes from. Cycling weekly don't have her top.

She’s won the World Tour rankings. Which is separate from the UCI rankings, and only covers the WT races held this season.

Hence why she was racing in that funky purple jersey rather than the regular Trek one.
