They kinda had me scratching my head until the first couple of sentences of the next story. I was wondering how pros were going to all ride the same bike geometry in the bike relay....

I quite like the idea of a relay actually with a baton being passed on or maybe a madison style handover? Be a bit gutting if your team was down to just a few men though

The best story is the one about the stripes of the British jersey aligning with key lines giving rise to an increase in speed (for the Manchester championship).
