Excellent Henry VIII additional fact is that him wanting to know he’d successfully bumped-off Anne Boleyn from his hunting ground in Richmond Park (so that he could marry Jane Seymour*) is the reason Chelsea can’t expand their stadium. True story.

*not that one

Mad that Henners wanting to legally spend some quality time with Anne Boleyn started a chain of events that led to the IRA.

(Yes, there was a lot in-between, but still)

You’ve not read the rule about compassion for clownish defending?

That should not be an issue, sigh…

I would go, but I don’t want no Scrub; Scrub is the racehorse I don’t want to see, painted from the side, hanging-up inside, standing in-front of a tree

If it’s any consolation, have a head full of them and not one of them is worth more than you!

Or, no matter what the sex, some people are vain, some are less so. And society puts pressure on all people to look younger.

I’m supporting your point, doofus πŸ˜†

The point being Roglic ain’t above any of them.

Two stars for Roglic

I think it’s rarely *at* him, it’s more β€˜this is boring, what’s the point?’

And that’s fair.

That’s because MvdP is actually fallible on quite a lot of parcours. Pogacar wins on everything and it’s utter pants.

But let’s be clear, MvdP’s dominance also made cyclocross dull.
