Froome has zero personality but the fact he isn't on the list is outrageous. Tour de France three times winner is better than the Kennys achivements put together. Track cycling is a niche sport which is why we clean up in it.

WTF was going on with that Iceland chant? Hilarious, yes, but a bit cheeky. Notice the camera didn't show any of the England team when they panned round the crowd

"Taekwondo" is Korean for "f*cking boring arse-kicking competition".

Michael Phelps - 35th in the all-time national medal table. More medals than Jamaica have won. Insane, albeit slightly spoiled by the ridiculous over-representation of swimming in the medals count.

Considering we have the most savage tabloid press in the world, would they not have been all over GB Cycling since Sydney?

Can only think they'd be worried about being sued if they misreported anything. Hopefully they'll be cleared, but it'll be a stain on British sport if it's proved they were dosing.RichieRiv wrote:Considering we have the most savage tabloid press in the world, would they not have been all over GB Cycling since Sydney?
