    Neil's Lone Rider Thread

    Currently joint second in the list of most successful British riders after another win yesterday.

    .
    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



    May the Lord bless this post.

          Genuine question: Have there been many successful British cyclists in his events over the years?

              Boardman is deemed the most successful although it depends how you calculate it and obviously we're only talking about road cycling otherwise Hoy (and quite a few others) would have a very strong case.

              However you do it though the answer is not many at all, especially when compared to the records of riders from other countries.

              So it's a relatively small claim to fame on a global scale. Then again he is only about 23 and will easily become the most successful British rider ever, probably later this year (barring injuries of course).

              He is also the fastest finisher in the world and has been for a year now.

                  *Patriotic chest thump*

                  None of your British cyclists will ever be a patch on the great Stephen Roche or Sean Kelly.

                    Well, perhaps in time that will change but so far you're right.

                    By the way, currently the best Irish cyclist is English.

                        Cavendish looks very strong, and will be the man to beat in sprints this year.
                        Hushovds new team looks strong, so hopefully he can win a few this season.
                        Neck to neck Cavendish looks to be the best, so without a perfect "train" the others will struggle.

                          OK, so he is Stephen Roche's nephew...

                              Well, um, certainly, he won't speak in a lugubrious monotone like Ireland's other great road racer.
