  1. Haussler riding better position now

  2. Hayman for a top five.

    Boonen for the win

  3. Hayman is a ripper. Reminds me of him turning himself inside out at the Comm Games in Melbourne.

  4. Awesome. I'd rather have more races like this instead of some of boring [censored] we get in the Grand Tours

  5. Now that was [censored] AWESOME!!!!

  6. Unbelievable!

  7. Hayman you [censored] superstar!!!!

  8. OH MY FARKIN GORD!! 😄 😄 😄 😄

    [censored] that's racist classic1.

    I don't know what to make of any of it it's so odd, other than that poor little girl. Saw the grandfather on tv yesterday. Sounded genuine to me , but the whole thing is strange


    It won't take the police long to sort it out. If the story's been fabricated in any way, the facade will quickly tumble.

  10. Not sure if any of the others who got into the velodrome with Hayman are former track riders, but Hayman really did a number on them. Amazing finish!

    I forgot to share my 'news'. I was out riding one morning last week (about 5am). Anyway I am normally fairly observant much like a fat chick to an unattended Kraft cheese stick. Sadly not so much this particular morning. Approaching a red light I slowed up a touch and then proceeded to turn left through the intersection on the red light - as you typically do in an empty intersection at 5am in the country.

    Sadly I didnt do my obligatory head check behind just to be sure of fivo-o. Sure enough 10 seconds later the cops have me pulled over at 5am for running a red light. $100 fine for not having my car licence in my possession and $400 fine for running a red light (apparently this has just gone up for cyclists in NSW).

    $500 for a mornings work. Welcome to NSW.

    There is no need to carry a photo ID in NSW. That part of the legislation wasn't passed. It is meant to come in next year but odds on it will be dropped.

    Your example reminds me of riding over train crossings. I have a quick look for trains and a really good look for the wallopers. You would have to be deaf and blind not to notice a train when cycling.

  12. Where are you living these days Vadar?

  13. Two Belgians get [censored] and the Hymen is still in tact.

    Hats off to Hayman. [censored] top ride throughout the day. The look of disbelief at the end was classic. A worthy winner.

    I would have love to watch Boonen to win it again. On the flip side - I hope to see an actual fit Boonen to ride the classics next year.

    Lolz at Cancellara falling down the Roubaix track like it did at Leicester many moons ago.

  14. I reckon it was as good a one day classic as you'll ever see. Great race

  16. There we go. She's going to be in trouble now.... murder... and bullshitting about it. Christ.

  17. Nifty move by Sagan getting over Cancellara's bike as he stacks

  18. I dunno whether to chuckle or sigh 😄

    Hey Cheetah I'm in Albury probably until September. Then god only knows.

    The Cops didnt end up fining me for either offence (but wasted 15 mins of my time threatening to do so). Mostly because im a god on a bike and I reckon they were highly intimidated by me.

    You need to learn to lay off backing that bossen-hardgains. He's the new Petacchi...
