I wouldn't recognise an M-Person if one walked into the room right now and tried to sell me life insurance, but an opportunity to spend a couple of hours eyeing up The Divine Miss P in a party frock is too good to ("Down with this sort of thing" - Ed.)
With your missus sat next to you?
He said what most of us were thinking. We went there as hot favourites, world champions, and were expected to win. And we delivered. Tick box, job done.
There were some exceptional performances. I don't think Bradley will go for the triple next time, maybe not even the double but instead aim for Boardmans 4000m pursuit record. The British squad has so much strength in depth that they could take Gold and silver in the IP, and with five other riders take Gold in the TP. And the same for the ladies.
The fun competition to watch will be the commonwealth games. Team sprint? Who to pick.. Two years is a long way away but look for:
England: Kenny, Crampton, and a couple of juniors whose name eludes me. (Kian Eskadi?)
Scotland: three from Hoy, Edgar, Maclean, Stewart, Bremner, Skinner
Should be one heck of a contest.. Glasgow 2014 will be even better.
