Funny that
if you relentlessly route every major race through Holland, Dutch people will start buying bikes. Will this work in countries that aren’t the world’s most bike-tolerant nation? Some of us hope so!

Too bad
There are so few places for the bikes themself to do the same…
Football is a game, cycling a sport.

Incredibly
Monty seems to be aware that it takes me about an hour of snoozing, caffeinating etc. to get into sniping mode.
