Do you think that racing is telling Cav something  - if I were his Wife, I certainly would be 

Perhaps he should join his pal Cal Cructhloe and take up MotoGP 

[CLKD]

That young Belgian had a heart attack that took him to the ground, was probably dead by the time he hit soil.  Doing what he enjoyed.

[Two hoots]

I feel so sorry for his family and friends 

[CLKD]

It's those left behind that will be sad.   Someone once told me that sport is good for us    .

[Two hoots]

Le tour of Yorkshire starts today, it's on ITV 4  I've got a good reason to sit and watch it all, my sons friend got a late call up to ride  his name is Ed Laverack so I'll be watching out for him 

 

[CLKD]

What colour is he wearing ?  Lovely day for them to start ....... we will be watching the Hi-lights. 

I see that Victoria Pendleton has abandoned her Everest attempt ......... or is that her attempt on Everest 

[Two hoots]

He's riding for JLT and his number is 124, we've caught glimpses of him towards the back of the peloton but he's still in there 

Scott Davies used to ride in the local cycling club time trials but cycled for a different club but they all know each other 

Amazing crowds watching 

[CLKD]

Have you seen any of the Giro d'Italia - from Israel  and Froomie fell in the out-ride !  but is now out on the Time Trial.  'scrubs up well' said the commentator, well yep - that's how they clean their grazes/wounds: with a scrubbing brush 

[Two hoots]

I saw the photo of Froomes cuts and scrapes, apparently they sting when the riders shower  and of course if they roll over in bed onto them 

I'm not sure what sort of reception Froome will get with the asthma pump fiasco still up in the air, they don't half drag out these decisions 

[CLKD]

Yep.  Scrubbing brush to get the gravel out which apparently, stops infection. Then an iced bath  .

As for these drug issues, if other Teams really thought that cyclists were guilty but allowed to continue, they would pull their Teams.  Any one suspect has to continue training in case they are found 'not guilty' and racing is part of that training.  I believe that even taking Aspirin is enhancement and certainly ABs are.   If one is ill enough to need ABs

Also, I looked at the local FaceBook page for our village - a 'photo of a cyclist who has sustained a fracture cheek bone and pelvis due to a 9" deep pothole into which his wheel turned ........ OUCH!

[Two hoots]

A colleague of my sister was out on his bike, he hit a pothole and landed face first  he broke his front teeth and the bones holding them in, for a while he had no teeth but now he's got false teeth. The problem is because the bone was so broken there is nothing to put implants into so he might have to have the false teeth permanently 

Now that the weather has improved my better half says he has to swerve around dogs on the cycling path and the odd squirrel that darts in front of him 

[CLKD]

Did the bloke sue the Council?  It's time that photos of the afflicted are placed beside each pothole  apparently it's costing Councils more to pay out compensation than it would to fill them in! 

[Two hoots]

As far as I know he is in contact with a solicitor who is helping with a claim.

Really enjoying the tour le Yorkshire so until it ends I'm only watching the highlights show on the Giro, next week I'll start watching more Giro 

[CLKD]

I'm in the garden with eye on the clock!  Too much to see, so little time - bet the cyclists have been roasting across Yorkshire ;-)

I havent ridden my bike for about 18 months as I had a torn meniscus and I was in agony for months.  My son serviced it for me yesterday and I did a short bike ride just to see if my knee was OK and it was so I plan to build up gradually again.
