kloeden has just won tirenno-adriatico.
millar has figured well in the season opener, hammond is looking forward to milano-san remo.
who do you put on the front of your magazine?
and do you repeat an article about cornering? _________________ Real men don't spin

I was just thinking how much better this cycling season would be if only I had fifty pages of bike reviews to ignore. |

Top tip last week - "Which side to swing off on when working in a line" or some such American slang cr*p.

It finally caught me as I was weaving in and out of some sticks. |

It's like when you used to write for it but even worse. _________________ I was being chased by a police dog last week, and made the mistake of trying to escape through a little tunnel, over a see-saw and through a hoop of fire. It finally caught me as I was weaving in and out of some sticks. |

Contador - he won in fine attacking style and is on his way up by the look of things. Kloden wont figure in much else, hes inconsistent and a bit of a primadonna nancy boy type character. (other than that he's alright)

"I haven't seen CW for a while. What's it like these days?"
Well, it's a bit like a continental sportive magazine, just done really badly.
It also has bike 'reviews', like the afformentioned magazines, again done
really badly. Sometimes also includes 'bike racing' whatever that is.
Oh, and a REALLLY funny section at the back - honestly, missus, it has me in stitches...when I read it in the supermarket............ |

Who has just encountered a new fitness and sportive market, who creates a profit considerably more than this forum, or you in person?
Oh, and yes, it was a rhetorical question. _________________ http://fusion-media.co.uk

I don't even understand the rhetorical question. But CW is balls, regardless. |
