Oh dear. I think it is a case that he is trying too hard. Torres springs to mind. It's even difficult to disagree with Lawro and that's saying something.

Have to agree with France, Italy and Russia. My favourite would have to be the Czech Republic. The anthem is derived from Dvorak's "My Home" and sums up national sentiment better than any political speech. With their difficult historical experience, the Czechs deserve this brilliant anthem...

I ride a Giant Defy as well - great bike and entry level one at that. I have race blades and a rack on the back so am looking to get what will be a Summer bike as well. Looking at an Avanti Quantam. Avanti is a New Zealand make and they are hoping to break into the pro-cycling circuit. If anyone...

Sounds like you might need to reposition your seat - your riding position might be the issue and you are putting undue pressure on your knee. The ride Fit cycling magazine (3rd edition) is in good newsagents now and has a section on sore knees ( p.32) as well as loads of good stretches. Hope...

It was a fantastic interview. Komps said it once and think he didn't trust himself not to lol.

Thanks for the welcome and the info about the width of tyres. Don't ride 25 miles every day BTW. However, I've cycled through the winter this year and it really makes a difference - can't wait for warmer temperatures and lighter winds. The wife and I are taking the bikes to Brittany for our...

What an amazing race! Went out for my usual 25 miles today and steered clear of all news about the Paris-Roubaix until 9pm. Incredible cat and mouse sprint at the end. Cancellara was ruthless. This race is such a lottery and I guess a lot of riders stayed well clear with the stage classics...

Coming late to this thread and as a relatively new poster. Great ride by Cancellara in the Tour of Flanders today. Gutsy and powerful. Looking forward to getting out on my bike over the Easter period, It's a pity that the Tour of the North staged road race here in NI has been cancelled. Much of...

Balotelli's performance against Arsenal in the corresponding fixture last season was terrible and he didn't cover himself with glory in the derby. Every time you think he has a point to prove he fails to do so. That said, I think he would expose Metersacker's lack of pace. Milner and Barry must...

Went there and St Petersburg to celebrate our tenth anniversary. Moscow is a fascinating place although I wouldn't stray too far from the obvious Red Square and Kremlin areas. Turning into Red Square at dusk and seeing St Basil's Cathedral for the first time is something I'll never forget. The...

My first post - can't believe it's in the Cellar. Croatia is a great holiday destination; fantastic weather, good food and stunning coastline. Few of the beaches are sandy but the water is crystal clear. We went last summer and stayed in the lovely resort of Cavtat which is around 15km north of...
