LOL

One of my old bosses, a woman, walked back into our all male work area exclaiming 'there's a crack in the womans toilets'. :D

She should have been specific and said that the wall was cracked. None of the boys could breath they were laughing so hard.

Commonwealth rr fellas, a Thunder take...

hitters:



in order



Rob Hunter

Greg Henderson

Gordy Fraser

Russel Downing

Ryan Cox

David George

Roulston

Gordy MacCauley

Perras



any of the Australians can podium, and fill out the podium, but South Africa have a strong team so won't be able to keep on attacking Hunter. They will be able to neutralise the attacks. Downing won a few races last year before breaking his collarbone when his Recycling team went over to race the Wachovia pro series. He will sneak under the radar, no one will know his face. If Fraser, Henderson or Hunter make it to the finish they probably have the chops to beat anyone bar Davis. And Davis will need to be well positioned or they can knock him off. Walker, Gerrans and especially Hayman have the speed to match if they get some luck and a better run, but straight up the others are known fast men who will win a match sprint.



Punt Road looks to be a mini San Fransico GP hill climb. It must almost hit 15% at the steepest and they cannot take a run at it with the turn off Alexandra Av. Those Guyanans might have to walk it by the 15th lap.



I think Walker will win on Punt road, and a 4 k solo like Carrigan, while the bunch of 6 or 7 look at whomever wants to chase. Davis playing the Golan role, except he wins the kick for second. Or it will be torn apart completely and the South Africans will be gotten rid of.

Gerrans out, shoulder infected, new surgery, ouch.

reserve team
Gene Bates ( SA), Shaun Higgerson (NSW), Aaron Kemps (Qld), Chris Sutton (NSW), Russell Van Hout (SA)

be a cop out to get Van Hout for a one day race when he won't ride the tt. Might say he deserves it and poetic justice, I would like to see big Robbie Maclachlan in. He won a stage in the Chinese Quinghai Lake stage race, this is like the tour in China. In the peasant distrcts the proletariat are crowded around the communal tv to watch this race.

If Van Hout, why not Milostic? I say give the big guy Robbie Maclachlan the bookend to his Barcelona Olympics. Or an under23 rider, Simon Clarke.

Russel "of wood" is a nice guy. That is about as much as I can say about his legs. "Carnegie Caulfield C grade crit".

EDIT: ITs on!

Check out the size of the Scottish rider - is he a big boy or what?

yeah talk abouth thunder thighs lol

I taped that event so if u guys (expat, since ur not in Aus) want a copy Ill send it to ya, Ill try to record as much crap as possible

While I'm on a roll, where is the leg thread when you need it?
I wish these were mine :rolleyes:

I'm a bit concerned - haggis does'nt actually sound too bad.

Whats doing with the pasty farking poms going 1,2,3 in the pursuit? Did all our fellas boycott the commonweath games like the rest of Australia?

Hey, we have Dish Network satellite TV. We can watch anything here. Just the other night, the missus was going through the channels, and saw cricket on PPV. Most shows are $1.99-5.99. She clicked on it, and it was only one hundred and sixty nine bludy American dollars! So, I'm thinking cricket's not so popular over here.

Jamo did a 4'30" when his pb was 4'22".

In defense, a flu swept through the track cyclists camp after nationals.

Still, disappointing ride by Jamo and Dawson. Well outside their pbs. Maybe all the road work is not helping them.

Rider Vs car , car wins. what an asshat.

OOoooooh, touchy. LOL

Just spoke with tan. She's in good spirits (as well as one can be under the circumstances). She's due to be wheeled out for surgery in about 30mins. Leg in brace, Panadol Forte in the bloodstream (apparently doesn't too hurt much with the brace on WTF???!!?), and an iron will at the ready.

good to see shes doing OK. fast little decent that one, not that id like to be hit by a 4x4 at high or low speed.

guess thats one less person i have to chat to at the 8 hour this weekend :( hope she makes a speedy recovery!

First heat of the points race is underway. Anyone close to melbourne park can tune into trackside broadcast on 106.3FM. Your commentator? MT :lol:

and for those that are listening in, has MT menioned anyhting about his " interlude " riding the dirt track with classic1? :eek: :p

HDTVKSS, get the story straight. He was the Malvern Star and I was Oppy.

Ggrrrr....the man needs a b*tt whooping!

Fellas, yer missing the lawn bowls on channel 9 right now :rolleyes:

when is the MTB on? is anyone able to record it and lend me a copy seeing as i dont really have access to record it?

It's on Thursday I think. I'm still trying to figure out how it's free, yet 'sold out'.

We ride Lysterfield all the time. Trying to figure out a way to sneak in without accidentally winding up on the Comm Games track at an inopportune time and then finding ourselves inadvertantly with medals around our necks.

mate tell me the time Ill record it for ya and email to ya
