the other weird thing about the cycling is.....

every time i see a bit on the news about it some dude wins a heat (big old sprint to the line) then a load more dudes hack through.... then a dude peddles along in about 12th place and he's still the race leader and keeps the norwich shirt. i've never seen a bloke in a yellow shirt win a race. it's *always* someone else.
