Our multi World Champion

Rather ironically, he won his Junior World Cyclo-Cross Championship 25 years after Roger Hammond, & lives (or his parents still do..) almost on the door-step of Roundhay Park, where Hammond took the rainbow

Another 'Yorkshire' thread! Well,well well.

Good call from the Y P, I'll bet there wasn't much in it between him & Rob Burrow, or even "Sir" Kev Sinfield, but a well deserved win

When does he sign for Ineos so they can use & abuse him. He will hate road racing, miss his MTB & C.X but get plenty of cash so everyone’s happy.

I think they'll let him do CX in winter, He could well be the Paris-Roubaix winner for Ineos, and may do well in other cobbled classics

I have to disagree there. His power to weight ratio is very impressive but the bigger heavier strong men will be way ahead as they’re relatively flat courses.

You do of course know what he has already achieved on the road.

Yes I do, I'm talking about the job he could do for Ineos this year, and into the future, they've struggled a bit away from the grand tours, not done bad, but not loads of wins, plus with the extra funds available for conditioning we could be in for him giving Mathieu Van Der Poel and Wout Van Aert something to think about both on road, and in the CX season, I think it'll be some tasty races coming up in the future.

I doubt it Ecky Thump is a Lancastrian thing

You mean they voted for someone other than Geoff Boycott.

Yes but you have to be able to stay upright in the mucky bits

He’s a wife beater, a bounder & a cad. Sometimes cycle past one of his old houses. In actual fact a lot of Yorkshire folk don’t like him.

Not to mention a 'brexiteer'

 

[Drago]

At least he possesses a personality, ulike Leais Hamilton who speaks in a whinging monotone that makes Mansell sound like Gielgud.
