    Paul Kimmage eh ? probably another tale about how unfair something is - sport, life, the world, the stock market etc etc and maybe how the little guy always loses out and the big stars take all the glory but really its the little guy who deserves all the glory for perservering against the pervading star culture and in fact if it wasn't for the little guy, the big guy would never have made it to the top anyway.....

    Could be about Garmin. I read that he spent a lot of time with them this year. He's a great writer regardless of what others think.

    Or it could be another book about Big Cas.

    Aye, he's better than the average sports journalist. In fairness though, that's not that hard.

    If you compare Rough Ride to his more recent work he has really grown as a writer. Haven said that Rough Ride, while not exactly polished, is a great, honest read.

    jesus i wish he'd just feck right off

    what a tool

    probably about how nobody cares about him and dont remember him

    Eh, given the response he gets here, I think a lot of people care about Paul Kimmage and what he has to say.

    I much prefer his non cycling interviews in the Sunday Times. I find every cycling article I read form him these days is the same old anti Armstrong stuff he's being saying for years, might get something else during this years tour.
