Revolution 15

As is tradition, the wristband was altered accordingly. Sometimes we think the only reason we don't get a wristband that says PRESS on it is because the organisers know how tempted we'd be to change it to NOT IMPRESSED.


Revolution 15 capsule review
Graeme Obree is fucking cool.

More words
Best Revolution ever. We were going to write a full report, but we thought we'd just do a list of highlights instead. We really love lists.

Things we liked about Revolution 15:
- Graeme Obree and Franco Marvulli doing the worst madison time trial EVER
- Craig Maclean winning every round of the sprint omnium
- Wiggins and Marvulli winning the Isaac Galvez Memorial Madison
- Obree riding a pursuit against four youngsters
- The Italian family who were waving their tricolour and cheering for the Italian riders
- Obree riding Old Faithful around the track

A special shout out has to go to the two guys who crashed in the Isaac Galvez madison. With everyone upset about Galvez's tragic death, that's the one event where you can crash and graze your shoulder a bit and still not get any real sympathy from anybody.

Things we'd like to see at the next Revolution:
- Someone riding a pursuit against an animal
- Something to do with unicycles
- Topless keirin omnium
- A load of CSC riders

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.
