UCI Road World Championships 2012

Has he?

No - it has cobbles.
Edit : the annoying thing with HP is he speaks in cliches and just says the first thing that comes into his head.
Eg. as soon as you get a shot of the back its "Ooh, a crash!" and then it isn't
At the front, a small gap opens up on a descent and its "And now an attack off the front"

I know he hasn't but was HP saying he had?

That crash has done it..........getting faster at the front

Ah yes, I see, he said of Gilbert "Acouples of yearw ago he was winning everything, Amstel Gold, Tour of Flanders".
We all know that in fact, 1 year ago he won all the Ardennes classics.

I'm listening to BBC for David Millar, not HP.

Out for a 105km ride and back in time to see the end of the race, nice. Decided to tune in to bbc coverage in the hope Millar gives some interesting insight from the inside as it were. That crash has mixed things up a wee bitty too.

What does "It's going to be status quo pretty soon" mean ( in a bike race ) ?

No time split?

Porter is so annoying. 'The strong men are hugging the right side of the road'. That would be the inside of the curve, Hugh.......

Let me just say that whatever happens from here on in, JTL is riding a decent, mature race

No time split?

;-) status quo means the current state though ! They were talking about the situation changing with the groups merging ;-)
I must stop knocking HP

Have I mentioned yet I think Boonen will win it ?
