Another good one is when they are guess-timating the speed - 3 riders in a break on the flat "they are doing upwards of 60km/h" - no they're not, they're doing possibly just over 50 - there's a difference.

Got to say though, I was a bit puzzled by that shot of the motorbike's speedo (riding same pace as riders and not overtaking as is often the case), showing just over 70, seemingly on the flat, think it was the stage before the TT, possibly with a tailwind. Did anyone else see that - that's almost Cav's sprinting speed ?!


The Boulting/Rendall/Boardman bits are great

Toks: You have to move with the times. Hincapie lost the title of "big" over a year ago. Last I heard, it had been awarded to Jens. In the world of Phil & Paul, only one rider is "Big" at any one time.

Signed: Big Phil.
