Most people in Britain have never heard of Patrick Sercu, and I doubt if very many of the current generation of cyclists have either. There are so many golds on offer at the Olympics that in the long term most of the winners are all but forgotten, and in cycling where GB have shedloads one more or less makes bugger all difference.
That's the point I was making: they're foreign champions from a past generation so most people won't have heard of either, but Brits would rank Olympic gold medal winner Sercu ahead of winner-of-shedloads-of-races-but-no-gold Merckx - so I can understand why Cav went for the Olympics at the expense of Tour de France records that only cycle-racing fans care about.
Don't like responsibility, though.
I'll try to give team selection some thought ASAPThe power I have!
You've all been approved!
Hopefully there won't be any stragglers as I'm away this weekend, although I'll check with my phone to see if anyone's been left beho\ind.
Snap - biking_fox as usual. Pretty much just guessing this year. Don't like the roadcc website much.
I went out for a ride wearing my brand new "free" yellow socks on Sunday. Got back, took my shoes off and there was already a hole in one of them. Shocked, disappointed and disgusted I was.
