Mark wossisname shouting out of the car at Pinot was just class.
Apparently other FdJ riders were having to rip out their ear-pieces.
I might be able to race Brad Wiggins home if I time it to leave the bike shed at 15:39. He has the following advantages:
- he's very fit
- he's a time-trial specialist (I'm more of your rouleur)
- he doesn't have to go up that hill from Pontardawe to Rhos.
- he has a better bike (I'm on the Thorn today rather than the Sabbath)
- he won't be carrying tyre levers, spare tube, or that space blanket I keep forgetting to remove from my Carradice
- he'll be wearing a silly hat
- he has more to win
I have the following advantages:
- A bit less pressure for me
- I only have 13.5km as opposed to his 40-odd.
It's going to be close.
