As a Northerner living down South, let me just say... :cry:

As a southerner can i just say. Gravy on chips is an abomination against any deity living or dead.

Marginal gains, Brailsford has them flown in especially wherever they are in Europe, what with them being a Kenyan speciality and all that.

I've been exiled down south for 25 years, curry sauce is about as good as you can get, and no-ones even heard of scraps down here.

scraps as in left over from the chip fryer? if so me and my mates used to pop into the chippy where we grew up and get them at the end of the night, but we called them something else.

Best bits! (I'm from Northumberland...not Switzerland). We used to call them batter, as scraps was viewed as being southern (i.e., Newcastle ^_^).

... slow twitch muscle fibres, as compared to bulkier, fast twitch fibres. The composition is natural and genetic, but I believe training can also help, making fast twitch muscles behave like slow-twitch fibres.

I have yet to read any research to support claims like this, but would be very interested to if you know of any?

I don't know of any research, but I remember reading a while ago whilst researching fast/slow twitch muscles for my karate training, that whilst fast/slow ratio is genetically set, you can train your fast twitch fibres from FG to FOG, which are more like slow-twitch - or at least some people believe that they can, this could very well be wrong.

Please don't take my word for it, I'm a political and educational theorist, not a biologist.

It's his alien dna. When I look at him on the bike I am convinced he is not all human. He just looks so damned wierd.

I agree, especially with his elbows sticking out so much. And why does he spend so much time looking at the ground ?! Even Carlton Kirby ( Eurosport) has commented on it a couple of times.
