I know we try to keep it racing related and positive on here but is anyone following the Tiernan Locke thing? www.cyclingnews.com/news/tiernan-locke-hits-back-at-uci-president-brian-cookson-over-suspensionHave to say he's beginning to grate with me, personally I feel let down by the local lad; I'm not sure if he's been on it or not but he's not doing himself any favours saying he has no respect for the UCI... so what does JTL have respect for then? There's not a lot left in his scenario, best reflect a little on where he stands and what he says I feel. On the one hand, he's into cycling but appears now to have turned on the UCI itself, funny how this happens now he's fallen foul but before that it was the passport, at times his liver / health and his professional position; currently it's moving onto the idea of rules / sanctions, saying he's not bothering to read the paperwork and not making an effort to clear his name. If feeling this strongly, why not stand unrepresented? He should take his medicine like good little boy rather than spitting it out. Doing himself no favours at all.

He's been caught out and his excuses haven't been sufficient. Jed be best just serving his time and coming back once the dust has settled.

I believe I may have been the original "spoiler" as I am fortunate enough to be able to watch live races whilst I am working and in the past was prone to getting my comment in first. Lets just rename it Pro Cycling.

If there is annual Pro Cycling thread then it will provide an easy reference in the future if needed.

The new annual one is fine by me, we can add a folder in to house them under 'Pro Cycling' if necessary.

You could start this one phred1812 at some point soon, as one our long standing members it would be good for you to do it? I am looking forward to the TdF as it's mixing up the cobbles and flat landing up the top end with mountains down south, ending up Alpe d'Huez (well apart from the Paris shoot out) but also into the Giro, if Froomey goes for that it will be great.

And the hour record is beat already. Smashing ride by young Braendle. Not as special as Jensies ride but superbly ridden for the first 50 minutes and smashing grit and determination for the last 10.

Going to end this thread with some reminiscing - warding off the winter blues via watching this playlist when working - a good summer (well apart from the crash outs)! Edit: You can find your way back to earlier stages on YouTube.
