| Just pipped you in the sprint there Mal- what a great ride - anybody got a schedule ready for next year that they can increase by 1 mph? |

| What a waste of talent. I wonder if he's been watching the Olympics and realises he should be there (or should have been at the last one)? |

FIFY. Good effort though, most people can't ride 10 miles at that speed

With Chris Boardman commentating? Sounds like a winner. |

During the Olympic TT commentary Hugh was saying that the TT at the Swedish Olympics ~1924(?) was ~190 miles!

Which goes to show things have moved on a bit for the better...
Great ride but all that talent and determination are a bit wasted on a race that means very little outside a small group of English-style TT fans, in their baggy shorts and capes.

Yeah, I don't know why people feel the need to comment on how worthwhile they think something is.  |

Yer, but maybe he enjoys it and doesn't feel the need for other peoples approval?

If he enjoys it then that's great. Just pointing out that such a talented bloke seems wasted on obscure TT events that mean nothing outside a relatively small group of people on a small *CENSORED* island of Europe. The achievement is astonishing, and if that's what rocks your boat as a rider, fine.
But a little nudge in a different direction when starting out in the sport, and who knows what could have happened?

How can anyone knock Wilco?
I started cycling when TT was the British "norm" and my first club "broke away" from a dyed in the wool TT club to become a RR club.
I still think this is an astonishing achievement.
