News Headlines - 2nd May 2012

A brief update from our Health & Safety officer MW. Some "in" jokes so apologies if it's not as amusing as I found it on my first reading:

Durden completes 19 minute lap of Richmond Park

Last night TGS reporters witnessed William “Chicken Legs” Durden (WJD) complete a lap of Richmond Park on the 19 minute mark.  This remarkable tour de force has secured Durden the third spot in the first peloton for the Dolomites (noting that Messrs Gibson and Beard had achieved automatic selection for the first two spots by weighing less than 60 kilos).  Durden informed TGS reporters that the principal reason for his surge in form was to spend 15 hours making an ironman training plan and then conducting an entirely random set of training activities.  He was also very comfortable with his selection for the first peloton noting that he would use his new found form to “drop the hammer on that pigeon-chested f#ck Beard in the Dolomites”.

Mark “The Tank” Williams was also at Richmond Park last night but was too visibly distressed to provide any comment on Durden’s performance to TGS reporters.  However, he was later overheard making some derogatory comments about people with chicken legs.

There is now one final spot available in the first peloton for the Dolomites.  Jonathan “The Potato” Kirwan is still the favourite for the jersey although TGS News is expecting a strong late run from Pughy.

Former champion rues lack of form

There has been considerable speculation about the lack of early season form of Christopher Beard (CB).  TGS News has investigated why the former yellow jersey holder is not where he would expect to be at this point in the season and, despite his lack of comment on the subject, the reason is that he has suffered a lack of training hours caused by pursuing a relationship with some mincer called “Stuart”.

The big red nasty

Patrick “the big red nasty” Flynn (PF) will be continuing with his current training plan by spending four days on the smash in Magaluf this coming weekend.  TGS Reporters nonetheless expect him to be a valuable contributor to the third peloton in the Dolomites.


Mr R is teetotal pre-Dolomites


TGS reporters have been informed by sources that the Mr R will not be consuming any alcohol pre-Dolomites in an attempt to get down to his fighting weight of 16 and a half stone.  During this period of tee-totality TGS News understands that the Pope has also agreed to become Muslim.
