I really don't think it matters if he's English, Irish or from Iceland, we are all Gods children.

I take it you haven't met many CCers in person then ! Lol

 

[VamP]

I've met some and I bet even the ones I haven't are nobbers.

You can tell it's the rest day, can't you! Back to the action tomorrow and we'll see if Froome can put the dawg amonst the pigeons, tail between their legs and barking up the wrong tree.
enough crap puns - ed

Now where on earth would you get that idea I wonder.

 

[lukesdad]

Doya want me to p*ss off Rich ? I will if you ask nicely

 

[rich p]

Anyway, who's going to win tomorrow?
Cav will be busting a gut and hoping his train is on form. My HR will be racing too.

Thanks Rich for the info... I agree already in the Tour de Suisse, he was "hesitant" in the descents... but still he wasn't anywhere near the front while climbing and wasn't he dropped on Sunday during a climb

I dunno, I saw a bit of hope in that article. I certainly hope he can overcome it.

Before he does keep an eye out for his old mates from Sky going for a word in his shell like.

Harsh, Geraint is half right, as Dan is half Irish, mum being Maria Roche, as was. So he chooses an Irish passport over a British one, and gets an Irish licence. This did not happen early, something made him swop when already at a very good level, and I can't imagine the Irish federation were disappointed to get his application, same as Matt Brammier. Two quality riders for nothing, effectively. Maybe the motivation was getting into national teams for major championships, because it's very difficult to get a GB place, so who can blame them for that? They just don't sound very Irish, uless (in Dan's case) you're an Irishman from the midlands, as an old mate of mine is, he sounds as un-Irish as you can get but that's not what his passport says!

It could also have to do with the small matter of Irish emigration? Some estimates put the Irish diaspora, or those of Irish descent worldwide at 70 million.

Blimey, he's being very tough on himself.

Yep, it's a bit too much innit.
