Do they deliver the milk and 'papers for the locals as they ride past?

You're thinking of the Milk Race.

You're thinking of the Milk Race.

Talking of the Milk Race, it seems a little late but Eurosport 2 appear to be showing the 1993 Milk Race after the CdD highlights tonight.

2030 tonigt highlights of the "Nottingham Milk Race", a crit held last week in the city. Run by one Anthony Doyle, who some will remember for his exploits on the track a while ago.

EBH !
what a lead out from G though ....

GT looks fit and strong as the lead-out, but it would be nice to see him be in a position to do something for himself soon.

Indeed, I believe he'll be concentrating on the road in the future and drastically scaling back/stopping track activities.

Ah, thanks for that. Athleticsliveontv are listing it as the1993 Milk Race and I wasn't sure if they were rerunning it as a taster for the relaunch.

This evening, Brian Smith kept referring to Queertofski. I can usually work out who he means, but not this time.

I missed the Milk Race in the end but it got me thinking about when I saw it come through Liverpool a couple of times and I saw another famous Manxman win the stage there. Steve Joughin, nicknamed The Pocket Rocket.

Got me wondering what had happened to him and I found this.

He 's dwarfed by Cav!

He 's dwarfed by Cav!

Literally

Funny though. He was one of a number of riders that emerged in the 80's. If they'd emerged into the same structure as exists today, some of them would be household names.

I forgot how much I hate ITTs, especially pan flat ons!
