Just been watching Tour de France and noticed the current holder of the yellow jersey looks a little bit like our very own Turnipsock. I'm sure it is not him as Cadel Evans is a nasty piece of work that likes insulting and assaulting hapless Journalists. He also has an Aussie accent. As Turnie hasn't posted for a few days I wondered if he might be conserving energy for the mountain stages.

You never know with these Jocks. I blame the porridge.
-
I presume you mean Scottish Jocks and not the American Sporting Jocks?
-
Och aye hoots the noo mon
-
However, I imagine Turnipsock might wear a Jockstrap to cycle in. I'm imagining it right now...mmmmm!

You are all wrong but it's nice for Turnipsock I hope all the same,
I guess that our Scotsman has been watching the Tour de France,
or been busy elsewhere.
Turnipsock let us know that you are ok please?

I can't see a resemblance. Maybe Shazza recognises his helmet.
That 1 in white can see something funny.
-
I'm sure I have picture of Cadel and me at Plymouth somewhere.
-
Prove it, you are one and the same. If not you are just a shameless name dropper.

mmm
so rosalind knows that turnipsock may or may not wear a jockstrap - are you other ladies jealous?

Rosalind always seems to get the hunks! I'm very green.

Yes Mark Cavendish did win three in a row in the Tour de France making a record. Well done !!

Mark Cavendish does number 4. My god! Will he stay or go off to the olympic training camp?
-
If I was him (and I'm not), I would be going for the Champs-Élysées.
-
Yes, but you are a true cyclist. The average Joe would respect medals much more. If he wants to be a rich man I would advise going back to train.

Here are some pictures of Cadel and Me from Plymouth 1999.

Why did they paste him to that board? Was it for a new Solvite advert?
-
Turnipsock, Thanks for your good photos also no I don't think that guy is pasted to the board as I can see him jumping

You may find that he's standing on the rostrum, not jumping [::)]
-
Is it me?
Which one?
No, it was part of a series of photos emailed to me. Friends that send you spam! whatever next? I just happened to be reading both the email and this topic.
-
Sorry but there are no picture of you with Cadel unless you are that strange cardboard cut out rider. You could have changed hats quite easily, I wasn't born yesterday. Stop hitting journalists it isn't nice.

Except for the fact that Cadel Evans is an Australian and Turnipsock is a Scotsman.

Are you inferring that there are no Jocks in Oz?

I am just telling the facts as I know them that Turnipsock is a Scotsman !! Not from OZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
hmmm, suspicious
-
hmmm, suspicious
Not if you've heard Turnipsock speak with a SCOTTISH ACCENT !!!
Anyway what proof do you have that Cadel Evans is an Aussie from Scotland??
Because Wiki says that Cadel Evans lives in Oz.
Now Cavendish has pulled out of the Tour de France due to "fatigue" so that the young man can concentrate on the Olympics.

Cadel Evans well he doesn't post on TNS or any board that I've used.

Jimbob, when you have finished with Beaver, can you you go and give Menchov a kicking. I'm having a day off tomorrow.

ooooh - Bob is getting out of his pram again & sock is getting lazy [:P]

no, the Tour de France cyclists do have a rest at least once a week as they did last Wednesday I think.

Sedentary gits!
-
You see, he is Cadel Evans. He not only lost his yellow jersey (I'm not talking putting it down somewhere and then not being able to remember where) but he has gone down to third. He looked as sick as an Australin parrot. He is having a rest day today but I bet he'll be out on his bike just the same.
Cadel Evans does have a weird accent sort of a cross between Scotish and Australian. Odd that. Turnipsock, you had a very muddy bottom on Sunday, did you fall off or was it tyre spray? I notice these thing you know.
-
Cadel Evans is an anagram of Dance Slave. I think that proves it conclusively.

I doubt it, most cyclists have two left feet. It helps with cornering!
-
What about the right and left foot for each pedal that most cyclists need including the Tour de France ones??
-

Not for right-hand corners

They drive on the Right in Europe - France so yes they do need their right feet otherwise why would the cyclists put their feet on a RIGHT PEDAL !!
-
Just saw a baby on a bike get to the top of the big climb first today, sadly he took a corner too fast on the other side and went off down the hill. The baby was rescued by a spectator but the bike carried on down the hill the quick way. He still managed to get back in 35th place but how he did it without his bike, I don't know.
Cadel is going to get left for dead tomorrow. Turnipsock is ready for them but as he is billy no mates he hasn't got a good team to help him...ahhhh!
-
We will see whether that Aussie Cadel Evans or Turnipsock will get there and I reckon it will be Evans,

It's the latest craze - dry humping, of course! [:D]

The Tour de France is over now as it's dark there and one hour ahead of the Uk LOL.
It finishes at the Champ D'Elysses on Sunday.
-
Rosalind, Evans didn't win today. I've just watched it and as predicted CSC did the number on him and put another of their team in the yellow jersey. I know that Turnipsock is good at time trials so he may just win it back but today it is Carlos Ashtray who won.
-
What's the fascination with a bunch of tarts in lycra going for a ride in the country?
-
Well it is a tactical race and they are fantastic athletes competing in an epic cycling daily marathon. They also have nice bums and muscular legs and they wear Lycra!

Sharon I know that Evans didn't win the yellow jersey today and most likely won't win the race itself.
-
I wonder if Turnipsock or Cadel Evans will win the Tour de France tomorrow?
-
Turnipjock could win the Tour de Forum
-
Well done Carlos, I never doubted you for a minute.
-
Well done Carlos, I never doubted you for a minute.
Turnipsock, Who's Carlos? I have never met him? Have you LOL

Carlos was a chef in Crossroads [:D]

More likely the time trial winner and tomorrow's Tour de France's winner:

Nice, isn't it!
Rosalind - just as a point of interest... what makes you think turnipjock knows about helmets?
-
Do you have a fan cooled helmet....that's nifty!
Poor Turnip Evans has lost the tour. Yellow just didn't suit him. Now Mr Evans do butt me with your pointy helmet. OOh you could have someones eye out.

I did say that I have only seen PHOTOS of TurnipSock's helmet and bike.

Mr Evans you even hit a policeman, you are a low cyclist.
I've seen Turnipsocks Helmet too. His is more aerodynamic than my husbands. It helps if you want to go really fast, especially around the track.

On a tandem

I prefer to go in front.

Ahead?

You can't go on a head on a tandem as you are on the same bike.

Tandem racing doesn't seem to be as popular as it used to be.
I remember Blue Peter, the popular kids TV program, did a thing about it as it was a good sport for blind people (not on the steering end). They interviewed a blind person and they had their helmet on backwards and nobody thought to mention it to them.
Does that tandem look like it going round the track in the wrong direction or is it just me?
-
I think the person on the front has let one go as the person on the back is trying to hold her breath.
Anyway, having your helmet on back to front sounds really painful.
