Inspiral_Carpet Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Anyone know his football allegiance? Brilliant performance (even if he’s a United or Citeh fan). Be great to see him presented to the crowd at BP if he’s a Latic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperKeeper Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 It would be great to get him at BP for one of our home matches, on the pitch at half time and autographs after. Ride the buzz, it's an amazing achievement for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worcester Owl Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Great achievement. More than makes up for Jim McMahon's regular TV appearances now he's in the Shadow Cabinet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The commentators said he will probably concentrate on road racing from now on. Winner of the Tour de France next step and another invitation to BP. Well done Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 He was quite focused racing indoors from the age of 10,would think he will make a decent domestique in the peleton as he can do big turns on the front. Great to see a local lad sticking it to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 I can’t believe the Oldham Times didn’t use my Goldham headline British Cycling had “the great walls of Oldham”!? What the feck is that? Perhaps they think Tokyo is in China or the Great Wall is in Japan.....or it’s all the same, Far East Asia and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winner of the Tour de France next step and another invitation to BP. Well done Matt. Looking at who else has done well in the omnium since 2012 (when it was introduced to the Olympics) it’s mainly sprinters. For example Mark Cavendish won the silver medal in Rio behind Elia Viviani (who also won bronze this time). So I don’t think he will be winning the maillot jaune, but he may well be a contender for the green jersey and their equivalents in other grand tours. I fully expect the club have already extended him an invitation, or if not they plan to. To be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if the club invited Stuart Bithell too (gold medalist sailor) as he apparently went to Crompton House too, although he’s officially from Rochdale.

He may become the next Mark Cavendish and he's added a silver this morning in the madison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart is from Rochdale but went to Crompton House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
