ProTour Pundit 2016 *no spoilers please*

[SWSteve]

Right i'm really busy at work right now and have no idea when all this is happening and will forget to pundit beforehand, For any team event put me down for GB, Aus and Germany and for individual events any or all Brits competing. I'm not particularly nationalistic but i am very tired and confused.
Edit: i changed NZ to Aus, i can't be bothered with more than two caps in a row.

Okay. I'm currently in the pre-flight hotel. I'll record when back in Blighty

I'm gutted. I done my best but it just weren't good enough on the day.

Did you give it your all, did you have nothing left to give and did you leave it all out on the road? Were you fully committed, and had your training programme gone to plan? How many sacrifices have you made?

 

[SWSteve]

Unfortunately I ce out of the blocks too slowly, and couldn't quite pick it up at the end. Let's hope form continues into the attack events

Wasn't sure where to post this, but the Tour de France is a race I've heard of.
Certain swimmers are using a technique called 'cupping' to enhance performance and for further proof that it works, is shown in the picture below. The chap apparently won a prize in a race in France (hence my posting it here), for being able to ride uphill better than anyone else. You can see evidence of cupping clearly showing through his jersey.

Here's something to get you all in the mood for the coming weekend, and perhaps inspire your pundit picks
