  1. @drewmckinley hit a car head on in a race two weeks later, so form wasted (broken leg) about 8 hours ago via Echofon in reply to drewmckinley
  2. @drewmckinley unfortunately there was no jersey for it that year, just cash! I think they brought in a jersey the following year, pity about 8 hours ago via Echofon in reply to drewmckinley
  3. @drewmckinley great, sounds promising... I won the KOM competition there years ago - think it was '92 or 93 about 9 hours ago via Echofon in reply to drewmckinley
  4. @ronanmclaughlin end up in the lingerie section, so? about 9 hours ago via Echofon in reply to ronanmclaughlin
  5. @Irl_Cyc_Results we'll see what they decide. about 9 hours ago via Echofon
  6. @Irl_Cyc_Results level and distance all year, even if they haven't got points under current criteria. I think either would do good job about 9 hours ago via Echofon
  7. @Irl_Cyc_Results I'm not a selector, but Roche and Martin, for sure. Don't want to name the third, but there's two guys racing at that about 9 hours ago via Echofon in reply to Irl_Cyc_Results
  8. @patM65 @Irl_Cyc_Results for me, most important factor in selecting is past history at handling races of very top level. No flukes on day about 10 hours ago via Echofon
  9. @patM65 @Irl_Cyc_Results no offense to the Ras, which is a great race, but no WorldTour riders and 160km stage distance? about 10 hours ago via Echofon
  10. @patM65 @Irl_Cyc_Results I'd strongly suggest top 20 in a race as tough as Cali is a better predictor than a high finish on stage of Ras about 10 hours ago via Echofon
  11. @PatM65 @Irl_Cyc_Results or, give points, but allocate them correctly. There's pPoints for Ras, but Roche got nothing for 19th in California about 10 hours ago via Echofon in reply to PatM65
  12. @albertocelani no, actually - he finished only 22nd, Pinotti won in the Giro! about 18 hours ago via Echofon in reply to albertocelani
  13. Freire, defending champion Sanchez and Valverde on Spanish team for Olympic RR velonation.com/News/ID/12019/… about 20 hours ago via Echofon
  14. @Jenstummeleer fighting many things, including anti-doping. But you don't care? about 23 hours ago via Osfoora for iPhone
  15. @Jono_L I'm with you there - I'd lose all control if I was there about 23 hours ago via Osfoora for iPhone in reply to Jono_L
  16. @GregBennett1 and nobody even considers USADA investigation? Wow, you guys... 5:18 PM Jun 2nd via Osfoora for iPhone
