I agree , Alaphilippe has panache and he stands out as a truly individual rider , he will be missed this year !

Yes, a real animateur! Oddly, he'd never really struck me as wee. It turns out he's only 62kg though. In my defence, I've mostly seen him sitting down.

Comparing me to Alaphilippe is like comparing a wheezy 850cc A-series to the engine out of a Lancia Delta S4...

Well, as you said he's heavier than you meaning he has more weight to carry.

Ever since I went to Scotland, Facebook keeps giving me updates from the Greenock Telegraph

I suppose it is possible that I may be missing out on a riveting read by not reading it but I doubt it. 🤔

I'm not sure why Facebook thinks I need Groupon to sell me a Brazilian Wax.. I've never been to South America!

Only five kilos.

But he's well taller than me, ergo his legs are longer, which means he can get more "oomph" out of them. It's too late at night for me to want to do the maths, so "oomph" will have to do.

We can make you taller, we just put you on the rack!

At least you didn't suggest platform shoes...

Not a viable alternative when it comes to cycling though.

I'm sure I've seen pics somewhere of bright red sling-back platform shoes with SPD cleats fitted...
