[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1050687, member: 73144"] Cycling can be a difficult sport to commentate on as there can be a lot of time to fill where nothing much is changing, especially when it’s several laps of a short course “Oh the gap’s the same as when they last went up that same hill 12 minutes ago…..”. As for Pidcock, like him. We’ve seen he can do mountain, he’s a former world junior champion in both cyclocross and time trial and in his first season with Ineos he was brilliant in the one day classics. He’s already shown he can mix it with the very best seniors in cyclocross. Will start riding grand tours soon. No reason to suppose he won’t do brilliantly there either - last year he won the General Classification and Mountains jersey in the baby Giro d’Italia (u23). He’ll have to start out as a domestique working for others, but it won’t be long before others are riding for him. We’ve had some great riders over the last decade but he’s the most exciting of the lot. On the track we’ll soon see my other 2 wheeled favourite, Laura Kenny. Tiny frame that produces an amazing amount of power. Absolute fighter and wears her heart on her sleeve. The cycling genes that have been passed to her son must be something else! [/QUOTE]
