Can I ask that you insist the team wear beards please.

Sideburns not good enough?

I'm surprised Wiggle or some-such haven't started selling stick on Wiggo sideburns.  I'd buy a pair.

I sold him a pair I didn't need any more.

Cut-out-and-keep sideburns in The Sun the other day.

(Ahem)

Bump!  We have exalted company within our numbers.

Brad posting from his mobile? Dave Millar tweeting YACF TT info? Cav giving directional advice in Audax?
Dave Brailsford giving tips in Further Faster Fitter?
Riding a concrete path through the nebulous and chaotic future.

I watched the Wiggo documentary last night - it was brilliant and quite funny.  On the one hand you had Shane Sutton basically saying you just need to ride your bike lots in order to get better and there isn't much science behind his philosophy.  Then you had Tim Kerrison's approach which is clearly very scientific!  But what the heck, the cocktail of philosophies clearly works!

As long as that's the only cocktail they're using...

"Ride lots" is borrowed from Baron Merckx, I believe.

Oh I say, whatever for?  The man's a cyclist, must be a good egg. Couldn't be cyclist otherwise eh wot? *Harumph*

Hooowever, given that he's made GB cyclists run on time maybe it should be "Dave Brailsford for Il Duce"? After all he's already got the haircut for it :)
