Okay, I open up the floor to the fusillade of excuses as to why Taylor
didn't even make the top 5.

So the question is: does he now go to college or skip college and
continue to ride around on a gerbil wheel for another 4 years until the
London Games?

Thanks,

Magilla

BTW, did you see the recent video of Rebecca Romero, a pursuiter for
the British team? *I did, and can you believe the gall of that woman,
spreading the unsubstantiated rumor that you gain speed in the corners
of a velodrome!!!! *No wonder she only won a silver medal in the
women's pursuit last year, she was too busy trying to figure out how
to capitalize on the natural speed increase in the corners instead of
just pedalling her damn bike. *What a dumbass! *Everyone knows you
slow down in corners, especially on the track.

Well if "Rebecca Romero" said it, then it must be true. *I heard Mari
Holden worked on the Manhattan project.

Damn her and her coaches. How dare someone who knows so little about
riding in circles win a world title!!!!

The next thing you're gonna tell me is Leontien van Moorsel knows
advanced aerodynamic fluid dynamics formulae just because she won a gold
medal in the pursuit. In reality, she's an academic idiot, just like
Romero.

Winning an event has no bearing whatsoever on your understanding of the
physics that went into it.

If it did, Lance and other retired TT specialists would be working for
NASA or Boeing when they retire from cycling instead of getting drunk.

Thanks,

As illustrated by the fact that Romero said that you speed up in the
turns (although, from her perspective aboard the bike, it would
certainly feel that way).

Does this mean you have come over from the Dark Side?

No - but in this thread at least you seem to be having trouble
deciding for which side you're batting.

Or the geometry.

That's a shame you haven't come over to the side that Michele Ferrari
takes on velodrome turns. Although what does Ferrari know about
velodromes...he only trained Lance, Indurain, and Moser - the last two
to hour records.

Not much, apparently.

He's a colonial. We don't permit colonials to win medals on British soil.

We have a class system to preserve after all; and anyway, there aren't any
golds to spare after we've taken our share.
