Channelling Rod Liddle, I think what's remarkable about Vicky is that she doesn't take drugs, despite coming from Mansfield.

I think you will find that Rebecca Romero hails from Mansfield,not V.P..

Mansfield?  I thought she was a member of Mildenhall CC? ???

That's my understanding also.I believe her father is a big cheese in the organisation of the Mildenhall Rally.

Heroin chic

(I know, but it looks like the sort of pic the weekend papers used to run when that was flavour of the month)

I don't agree - it's maybe a sub 2% body fat image though.

I found that on Page 9 of the Google Images search.  There was a picture of a doughnut and the cover of the Finding Demo DVD, for some odd reason, before that. :-\
Actually, it is rocket science.

Third heat of the sprint finals, five minutes ago.  That little smile in space-helmet, just before making her move on Kanis.  Oh, dearie me.

What makes it even more remarkable is that she appears to have the wrong body type for the event.

As she collected her Gold I couldn't help notice that her rivals looked more like over-developed, former-Soviet, power-lifters than cyclists.

Technique triumphed over brute force I suspect.

Don't knock brute force!  But yes, the commentators were saying exactly that, that she was pretty delicate for a sprinter.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't -- wasn't that Belgian (?) lad a similar build?

Out of mild curiosity I clicked on this Post to see this has ballooned to 14 pages.

Yes, 14 pages. I couldn't Adam and Eve it. Is that the right parlance? I am from down south tha' nars.

On my way home from work through the Peaks one evening last week, I was passed at speed by a very fit and shapely female cyclist in skin tight official looking lycra on an uber-bling road bike with racing shades and helmet that looked very, very much like our Vicky....
Inspired, I did catch her up down the road but was much too out of breath to engage in any conversation (sigh). She then turned left and accelerated up towards Stannage and I turned right and wobbled limply the rest of the way home so that was that....
Pretty nice encounter - though not entirely sure if it really was VP!  ;)
