[quote="Jon Hemming"][quote="mrP(Boonen)VT"]Sat 6 presidents 10
Sat 6th is our Open 10, not the President's 10, I wonder if any ToB contenders need a warm-up? Cancellara at Holmwood would draw a crowd.
Good thinking.
An idea has formulated, wait until the full team list is out then write to the teams and see if any of the riders would make an appearance. A bit of PR for the team, one of the Brits maybe to ride the 10 - just ride around it and they'd not harm themselves before the start in London.
Ask them to ride in Addiscombe colours
(well jersey they can keep their team shorts for the sponsors), but let them use a following car from their team. Not legal but I'm sure they won't mind a ban from riding CTT events for a while
. Not exactly going to impact their life and that way they'd have protection from other traffic.
Plenty of pictures in the press, online, and possibly a spot on the TV with the BBC coverage. Publicity for the team involved as the goodest of good eggs, and for the mighty Addiscombe with the rider in ACC kit.
Okay there's no chance of it happening but it was a nice little dream to tide me over 'til hometime.
