Eddie Soens FUN

Here's a super special photonarrative from the 46th Eddie Soens Memorial Cycle Race. "Photonarrative" is a word we've just made up to make it sound better when we post a few photos we've taken and write a couple of sarcastic sentences because we only get ten minutes a day to do this. Broomwagon will probably steal everything we say and develop it into proper jokes anyway, so just make sure you buy Cycle Sport next month.


The north side of Liverpool is pretty bleak. Things not pictured: Wind; Cold; Teenagers in hoodies stealing the riders' Red Bull.


For the second weekend in a row we've been treated to Mike Smith's race commentary. We like his commentary the best when he's covering the snooker, because we don't watch that.


Ian Stannard won. He got £150 in prize money, which isn't bad, we suppose. He did a very good ride for the win too. These comments are usually funnier when we're not being nice about things, but we can't think of anything scathing to say.


The bronze-skinned Malcolm Elliott won the bunch sprint, we think. We walked into Revolution behind him one night, which was really exciting for us.


The Plowman Craven team watched Tony Gibb get the prize for third place. And probably wondered where all their Red Bull went.


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.

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.
