The only downside is that you gotta return the dvd.

One early jump included Robbie McEwen and Tom Boonen, who was plagued by light stomach troubles since yesterday. Boonen didn't appreciate the riding of his Australian rival in the break, saying it annihilated the escapists's chances.
"Everybody was ready to work in that break to make it succeed," said the world champion, who later got his revenge on McEwen by winning the bunch sprint. "McEwen disturbed the flow by constantly coming up to the front and bringing down the rhythm. He was to one who ruined our break. I thought it was ridiculous."
from cycling news. https://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2006...sults/tour0612
Boonen is such a whinger.

Why didnt Boonen do something on the road instead of whinge about it later?

skcc is also a long way from you ex. blackburn would be closer I reckon. They do a mix of road, track & crits.
Carnegie/Caulfield is big in numbers & big into all forms of racing too.

why bother it ain't like you have a review process. The best you can hope for by replying is that you get told not to call 'em seppos again.
I wonder if we can get the word blipped.
