Define "rarely"...

I would define 'rarely' in this context as 'not very rare'...

Ok pal, we get you have a blog. I read one article you linked to in another thread and it was mildly interesting.

Now this is a forum for talking about things vaguely representing cycling.

So in the future would you just mind posting your opinions or factual representations on here rather than on a 3rd party provider please.

You need to get that in the twittersphere @brommers

Not normally all that interested in TTs, but these are competitive on a testing course.

Thanks for that reminder @psmiffy - it's now a non-spoilers thread.

Didn't see the races today but very pleased to see that Sunweb did the double - not least because it shows that it is possible for a team to support both men's and women's squads and be competitive in both. Certain other superannuated men-only teams should take note.

Scott Davies must have a chance. Can't see Chris Lawless on the list.

Do some research of cycling in the 60's and you will see that Jacques Anquetil was the dominant cyclist then. He was the first one to win 5 TdF and unbeatable on TTs.

You might have missed Smutchin's point!
