Cool, hopefully we can get a few people participating again
Starting with the standard cycling round.
Round 1 - Cycling
1. Name a cyclist who is currently the national time trial champion.
2. Name a 2.HC race.
3. Name a cyclist who has won the tour de Suisse more than once (aside from Rui Costa)
4. Name a cyclist who has done the Giro - Tour double.
5. Name a French continental team
Answers are due in by Tuesday 7th of July at 0:00 (as in the start of the day), although I may extend it if not many people are in.
There has been a little confusion over it, but the fifth question does not include pro-continental teams, we've only got 3 submissions so far ( ) so I'll just send a PM to anybody who did it.
Anyway, go 24 hours left and fie people participating, so I might extend that to 48 hours and send out some PMs, but come on people!
