[quote="Paul H"]Talking about ringers, how is your mate that worked for you in our Club's Road Race Champs? Has he paid his subs yet?

Blimey I'm just catching up with this thread. What mate is Paul referring too?

[quote]Are you suggesting without his help that you'd have beaten me in the sprint?

(just to stir things up a bit as it's gone quiet) - I think Paul is suggesting Adam has a "special friend" who helps him clean his bike in the evenings. I think I also heard Adam commenting on Paul's "puny runner's legs" the other day

hey guys lighten up. Each to their own.

I sat at the back of the bunch when you were chasing George and Marek and I was not talking about just that situation. It was noticed by others that he was closing gaps for you during various parts of the race making getting away in a break a lot harder. If you can honestly say that isnt the case, he was not working for you and had no impact on the race result in your favour, then I will leave it there.

I would say that only genuine members who have paid their subs should be allowed to race though if that isnt the case already.

[quote="-Adam-"]But thats not the point, you cannot compare the severity of two races based upon average speed. Firstly, surely as a tester Snoop you can appreciate that weather conditions would be totally different 4 hours apart. And also, the dynamics of the two races would have been totally different.

[quote]Ok, I would have won that race whether Tom rode or not, happy?

Absolutely.

Paul and I will probably share a warm embrace at CSS tomorrow...

Nah, but seriously, it's all healthy discussion, right!?

That hasnt really answered the question. Was he deliberately riding for you or was it just coincidence?



Sorry, your honour. Forgive me, but I have been partaking in the cross examination of expert witness reports this week at uni, so I am in the legal mindset.

Whats entertaining me about this thread is just how far off topic it's gone!
