What a legend, greatest ever British cyclist..... fucking ace that. No Brits near the podium this year, so hopes all on stage wins (and want Pogacar to beat Vinegaard). Cav could well end on 36-37 wins. Reckon Pogacar will be on 16-17 by end of this tour, and could well pass it in the next 5 years or so. Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 29, 2025 Posted August 29, 2025 Chris Froome twatted himself up in a training accident in Frnace yesterday. He's had surgery for a back injury. The story goes that he took his hands of the bars to blow his nose, but was then caught by a sudden gust of wind, and went into a wall. Quote

The story about blowing his nose was from his accident in 2019 when he was on a training ride prior to the Criterium du Dauphine..... Quote

Ah, right. Cheers. I caught the end of the sport report, so must have missed the initial bit! Is there information about this accident then, it sounds bloody nasty. Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Anyone watch the cycling around Rivi when the commonwealth games were on in Manchester? We had a leisurely mooch around, and witnessed a Namibian, who'd come a cropper in not making the left hand turn at the bottom of Sheelphouse Lane. His lycra was shredded, and almost singed from friction. Left a yard of skin on the road. Grim. Quote

Remember watching a Scottish lass come off badly Was just a kid so that’s as far as my memory goes Quote
Alf Hartigan Posted January 17 Posted January 17 The UK Ironman was always a good watch on Sheephouse. I'm presuming they'll be going in the opposite direction on the Tour stage? Quote

Didn't go up that way, we decided to stick with the road race. Quote
