Hendy and Julz are Pro Tour riders and so race against the very best on regular occasions, but the Tour of Mexico...please!!
If you want a reality check...just take a look at the UCI points please!!
All the best to all concerned, but lets be a bit realistic about an outcome. If we manage one rider in the top 10 of any of the events, then I think thats a huge achievement!!
Clinton has had some great results in the U23s, so maybe he will show some more of that form?
Seems a few people here are precious about where some riders originally came from...well guess what..they are riding the road worlds...so if they arent our best roadies, then we are in the tihs!! |

I am willing to bet the man wearing the white leafy jersey in this years pro peleton will NOT be wearing a rainbow one at the finishing line
He might however come from second to 150th as usual
