Fat Cyclist is better than us

...well, for today at least. We've never really warmed to the fact that Fat Cyclist's entries always follow the same "news report about something that would be a bit funny if it really happened, haha" script, but despite our cynicism we've been unable find any fault whatsoever with his preview of tomorrow's stage. Which is good because it means we can just link to it here rather than writing something ourselves. (Hey, it's not just a rest day for the riders, you know.)

This is how race previews are supposed to be done.

Having a website is so easy these days.

Recent vitriol


Which cyclists have we libelled this month?

These ones haven't aged well


Much like Laurent Brochard

Some old updates that aren't entirely awful


And there'll be even more coming to this spot just as soon as we can be bothered trawling through our somewhat embarrassing archives.

Script extracts, because these seem to be popular for some reason

Simon and Anthony


Nigel and company


Johnathan & friends, even though they're always last with the news and the website is horrible


Dutch cyclists we like because they're better/more attractive than British riders

Bobke Strut is so good that it deserves a category of its own

Arrr, bike pirates

George!

Things we hate so much we're not even going to link to them

  • Trust But Verify
  • Trek
  • Assos

Our e-mail inbox isn't just for Japanese gambling promotions and the latest advances in penis enlargement chemistry, you know

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?

  • Survival of the fixest.
