    Finding sponsorship is harder than ever in this world of cycling, so like AquaBlue we might need to find a new model for naming the off topic thread.

    There may be a poll..

    I do apologise. I probably need to have a word with myself. If it's a dead heat your choice wins.

    Yeah, I have one browser with ad blocking and one without and I've started seeing these simplistic RSA ads a lot.

    I guess "fluorescent" is hard to spell. At least they seem to have moved on from calling it "reflective" clothing. Maybe there's a factory in Mayo that's ramping up Tron outfits production.

    so matt stephens is leaving GCN and they've mentioned looking for a replacement for him.
    maybe we should nominate a boardsie and petition GCN to take him or her.

    He's leaving? Maybe Eurosport gave him more time on air? I'd be happy with that he's good on there. Very good actually. Noticed him actually dare to speak over Kirby of late and bring the focus back to the race while Kirby tried to spout some drivel.

    As for the other handbags going on here I was expecting to come back here to some bike jousting or something and some portrait youtube videos akin to the ones you'd see Davie Joyce and his ilk post for the Sunday World all bare knuckled and stuff and I have to say I'm shocking disappointed lads :(
