Apparently the pose copied one that Lance Armstrong did nude on a bike. Come to think of it, any decent Sheryl Crow soft porn out there?

Its been a nudge nudge story for a while amongst Cyclists. It is kind of shocking but Millar has gone to ground and totally broken all ties with everyone and lives in remotetest Spain. She was obviously a troubled charachter for a number of years and a very private person. I hope she gets the space and respect to enjoy her new life.

Do all the competitors compete with the same bikes (made of same materials etc)?

Nope, there are rules governing dimensions of the frames and wheels but beyond that its a free for all. Some of the British Cycling stock bikes ridden by Hoy and Wiggins cost fuckloads, 100K+.

BTW - Mark Cavendish won the 2nd stage of 3 days of De Panne today - apparently he was in 20th place with 400M to go and won by 10 bike lengths.

Yeah, I saw Boardman do a chat with the Beeb about the bike technology because he's been quite involved in it. He did say that including research and development each would cost about £100,000, but then that's about 5 days wages for an England footballer and look at their success, so I think we can say it's money well spent.

At the Olympics, will the gold go to the best athlete, or the person riding the best bike? (Formula 1 stylee)

best athlete without a shadow of a doubt. unlike F1 the pilot is also the engine, on the track the machine's are so simple that it's even more about the athlete than choice of gear.

OTM.
