 The Manx Missile - Robin O'Reliant
Mark Cavendish, World Professional Road Cycling champion!

Well done that man, and the British team who controlled the race for him.

Indeed - some ride by all involved. Those nancy-ballers that need 6 weeks off after they stub a toe should take a note out of Wiggins book who rode flat out on the front for 10km+ yesterday - after having done his fair share over the previous 5 hours - and only about 8 weeks after he had to be scraped off a French road and have his collar bone bolted back together. Bonkers!

 The Manx Missile - Roger.
All forms of competitive cycling are hugely strenuous, but incredibly boring to watch.
How people can stand by the roadside, as in road races, to watch a gaggle of Lycra clad bottoms disappear into the distance, is beyond my comprehension!

You have to know how to read a race, Roger. It's a highly tactical sport.

One of the greatest pleasures of retirement has been the ability to see the full grand tours on television.
