Sorry! I was wrong.No one that old wins GTs these days. We need to write off anyone above the age of 25 (23, probably). Tao Geoghegan Hart is looking like a better bet, but even he is getting a bit long in the tooth these days.
You should know by now that the BBC are only interested in cycle sport if there’s a drugs or abuse story. I’m surprised they mentioned it all. Look how little coverage they gave Yates’s Vuelta win.
Not sure why we still pay them a licence.......their reporting of anything these days is dreadful.
It’s on the front page of at least 3 papers here too.His win is getting front page headlines in several of the Scottish papers, being reported as the first Scottish win of the Giro
Scots-Irish ancestry, his grandmother still lives in Edinburgh, he has been keen to ride for Scotland in the Commonwealth Games apparently.
What!
Yes for swimming the channel,with a relay team when young.Ive seen his win on BBC this morning.Im not sure I expected any more coverage.
It was a relay team crossing the channel.
To be fair I doubt most have heard of the Giro...is there any other bike races than the Tour..
10 years ago that would definitely have been the case. Less so now, thankfully. Still a long way to go though, I long the day when the winner of Spring Classic gets a mention on Breakfast TV !
Well, it made BBC Norfolk's sports bulletins this morning. Mangled his surname, though.Not sure why we still pay them a licence.......their reporting of anything these days is dreadful.
