Mario Cipollini about UK sprinter Mark Cavendish on the eve of the Tour de France 2009
On 7/3/2009 SamG wrote in from United Kingdom  (78.146.nnn.nnn)

"I think all sprinters are gifted with a quality called egocentrism. And a quality is what it is, because an egocentric person is one who always strives for improvement.

When a sprinter loses, he can never accept that he's not the fastest; there has to be an alibi, whether it's a lack of form, a team-mate's mistake or an opponent's mistake.

A sprinter's mindset is unique... and hard to penetrate or explain."


Anyway, enough about cycling. Knock 'em for six in the states, Paul. This time last year we were on a Latvian party bus with magnetic plastic wine glasses and pole dancing exotica.

My how we've grown!

Good luck to everyone racing Brighton. I would have loved to race at my old home town (83-87) but am so not ready for my flight to the USA Sunday morning so will have to bail. Race hard and bend ze knezz.

Hi M4RC10, great to hear from you. Nigel shot this footage of Paul Price at the GS on Sunday, but as yet little further video evidence has emerged:

Paul Price: Giant Slalom

You need QuickTime to view it, so I don't currently have viewing rights at work.

As for the Hot X Slalom race a few months back, much footage was shot but little seen subsequently. Love to see more skateflix if the footage is still out there!

NASS Sign Up
On 7/2/2009 RobA wrote in from United Kingdom  (86.157.nnn.nnn)

All is back but not quite the way it was - luckily I had taken a print just the other day so have restored everything, albeit in a slightly different order!

....and relax!

Rob(LSD)

p.s. Gabe is staying with me tomorrow night prior to T & B on Saturday, maybe he could make me some new knees?

NASS Sign Up
On 7/2/2009 SamG wrote in from United Kingdom  (89.16.nnn.nnn)

Hi Rob, it sound like you might have done my trick of letting something lean on the keyboard when you are trying to print out the rider list. I hit the 'delete rider' button a couple of times. Do you have a cat with heavy paws?

Think I was rider number two after Michael Stride.

GREMLINS - NASS SIGN UP PLEASE READ!
On 7/2/2009 RobA wrote in from United Kingdom  (86.157.nnn.nnn)

Something has gone SERIOUSLY wrong with the NASS Sign Up and 22 entries have disappeared!!! I have to get the list in by tomorrow at the latest. Sorry I'm not sure what has happened here?

If I need the names again I'll let you know.

Just when it was all going so well too!

Bum!

NASS '09 - IMPORTANT
On 7/2/2009 RobA wrote in from United Kingdom  (62.25.nnn.nnn)

I have to submit the names of racers to Sports Vision by tomorrow - if you are thinking of going to NASS but haven't yet signed up please do so now before its too late. All details of the event are over on the UKSSA forum

I must send the list of tomorrow. If your name is not on the list you won't get in! I'll be putting a couple of extra names on the list just to allow for any last minute entries. It may be possible to add names to the list but it is not guaranteed!

You have been warned!

Thank you.

HP is just a Blur!
On 7/2/2009 RobA wrote in from United Kingdom  (62.25.nnn.nnn)

There is no HP tonight on account of that Albarn chappie having a sing song with Mr Coxon and Co.

I will not be venturing out either on account of my very wobbly and sore knees!

Cheers
