Come on we all know some surley? Even if they are a bit far fetched.

I heard this one the other day told by one of my relations, it made me smile. Was after the Tour de France, when they were talking abotu the drugs issue.

'You can always tell a clean rider. He is the one at the back!'

And this one from one of Tom Simpson's old training mates after his death on the 13th stage when they were all blaming the drugs totally on it. he was asked about how he felt about the drugs found on Simpson. and he replied something along the lines of.

'Well, what do you think those riders get round on ... spring water?'

I'm wearing my free t-shirt from C+ which says:-

"Never use your face as a brake pad."

Sound advice no?

Properly one of the famous quotes if you know about Simpson, after falling off his bike once.

'Put me back on my bike.'

'Put me back on my bike.' was the invention of Sid Saltmarsh, a journalist covering the Tour for "Cycling" and "The Sun" and not present at Simpson's death.
