I realise the points issue what he required etc, it’s the fact the the UCI can move the rules around to suit their favouritism’s. They don’t see Brayton the way we the fans see Brayton, but they do see Sagan and Van der Pole their golden boys and are happy to bend the rules for them. Hey Ho.

Listening to Needles Podcast with Sven, they mentioned how two Elite Roadies (Sagan and Van Der Thingy) were bumped up a few spots in the start line at the world champs XC just because they are big names in Bicycle fitness racing (road), effectivley jumping the queue and pushing full time XC racers back, Obvs not fair on the full time XC racers, but on that basis the UCI should be able to change the rule at the click of their fingers to allow a stalwart and huge fan favorite like Grandad in. The whole thing is sickening. Has Gee been on other start list this season, hope he's racing, we need the Vulcan back!

Just Gutted Healing vibes! I was so looking forward to seeing you in the mix again.

5 star soundtrack, again. Such a great vibe as always. Thank you.

(Circa 1997) I lived illegally in California after my 3 months visitors visa expired for a couple of years working cash in hand as a removals person and at the LBS Diamond Bar Cyclery (not there now). I went to Tijuana for the weekend with this bird and on the way back in to the US, like a dumb ass I thought my British passport would still get me back in with no visa. At the border I was asked to get out of the car and follow this Marine/immigration woman to a que with lots of Mexicans, I was interviewed then busted and the Marine walked me back into Mexico. The immigration official in this case were correct in their actions. Luckily after a couple of nights in a Holiday Inn wondering what to do we hatched a plan. The girl i was with rang her sister who drove down the next day from LA. All i had to do was practice saying "US" in an American accent overnight until I had it down. The sister turned up at the Holiday Inn in a Chevy Suburban I sat right at the back on the third row of seats with the two kids she had brought with her and my "girlfriend" and her sister sat up front. When we got to the border kiosk, the immigration officer stuck her head in the window and ask us our nationality, two blonds sat up front two blond toddlers bouncing around the back and me. The time had come, as she asked me my nationality I proclaimed US, heart pounding at 160bpm. The immigration officer told us to go ahead, and we drove back to LA. Now I am not particularly a fan of country and western music, but when the sister turned up the tunes I was Yeehaa'ing all the way back up the freeway to Garth Brooks. Thank god i did not have to go for plan B, swim. I won't go into the story where I broke my collar bone and got knocked out at sheep hills DJ's Costa mesa and gave a fake name and address when they asked me to sign for the meds and Ambulance when I got to hospital nor the time I crashed a Peterbilt in Las Vegas after TWOKING it. I would say I have grown up a little now.. a little. US immigration Pah!

Anyone know why Caroline did not attend Dark Fest?

Love it, owned 3 in my time, even have a Steve Peat signed MsIle frame on the wall in our spare room. I just think Guy could have popped a wheelie though, missed opportunity! I love watching all the Guy Martin stuff, keep keeping it real Guy.
