Mark Viduka has a stunning house in Split, I believe. Top spot. |

What amazed me about D grade was that I was riding about 40-50km per week (including racing:o ) which obviously was not sufficient to progress far, yet there were other blokes doing 300km weeks and still finishing behind me! :eek: |

Sorry Johhny Monkey, that's as close as they got to big Darryl! |
Did they show footage of bogans draped in Aussie flags beating up lebbos?
|
I saw gerrans on beach road just last week so im assuming hes staying home for the rest of the year....why doesnt he ride any local crits? is he busy prepping already for next season. seems like robbie gives a lot of his time to ride as much of the local scene as he can even if hes not taking it too serious at least hes out and around for the local fans. Im not having a go at simon imi just curious as to why he hasnt been around as much as robbie on the local scene???

I'd really love to take a stopwatch to that broadcast and work out exactly how much actual cycling footage we got in the entire 90 minutes, 'coz I reckon the answer will be - not much.:( |

I did enjoy seeing brown finish. I hadnt seen much of him before. |

I think you'll see him at the Bay Crit series too.. |
that dude in the green (Dominguez??) was suffering big time.....the look on his face every time Brown cruised to the front of the group was priceless.
Points to him for hanging tough to the finish. |
