in the time trial, where British hopes rest on the ample shoulders of comedian Stan Boardman, bronze medal in Atlanta. The gold medalist (Indurain) has retired and the silver medalist (Olano) has chickened out, so there's everything to win for the cheeky chappie from Liverpool.
did i ever tell ypou about the time when i used to ride around with graham obree, star of the peculiar shaped bikes and Punk Rock riding position? Well i did. I was never as good as him obviously but my mate Gavin used to beat him all the time... before he discovered vodka. Actually afterwards too. Gav broke the scottish junior record for the 50mile time trial, and told an astonished obree as we rode home, 'it must have been that bottle of vodka last night.' Indeed it must. They don't tell you these things on A Question Of Sport, do they?
And before anyone accuses me of rabbiting on about issues entirely unrelated to Belle and Sebastian, cyclist are kind of stars of track and field and some of them are most definitely beautiful people, especially if you dig well-defined calf muscles and bulging thighs.
well spoken that man there. And we all had a thing for Rebecca Twig from the USA... those stars and stripes skinsuits and that blonde hair... oo-er. What a star of the track SHE was. oh yes indeed. And continuing the bikes and B&S connection: there was the story of Stuart's new bike and it's mileometer/computere wasn't there? And the latest 'promo' shot has a bloke with a bike (not one that's gonna win any medals at the track champs mind...). So stop whinging that this is off-topic :-) the duke. PS i have many scars from track and field as a result of all my cycling crashes... ha ha.
