Robert Foerstermann has outrageously big thighs.
They were commented upon a few weeks or months ago when cycling was being shown on, IIRC, bbc or bbc red button.
His thighs are insanely big. Still, I think Hoy remains the track daddy.
One fella today crashed out and ended up with a splinter through his leg. Awful. There's a video of it on the bbc sport website.

Feorstermann's thighs are a fair bit bigger than Hoys from what I saw on Eurosport earlier but yeah, Hoy is still that little bit better.
On another note, who's excited for this?

What is that? Recipe for a really sore arse, sore everything really.
Mind you, looks really picturesque and a pretty cool scenic place to go riding.

or you could buy a brand new road bike, probably around that price tag or around the £300 mark...
Well yes, that did cross my mind, but I didn't think I could get anything that was very good for that price? Please do correct me, it would be a nice surprise!

My first ever, and current, road bike, cost me £275-ish at the time, although I believe that particular model or current version of the same bike/brand, is now £299 in store.
I've been very happy with this bike and it's never let me down. I bought it from Decathlon. You're best getting the opinions of others on here also. There are obviously numerous other good cycling stores, some selling stuff more expensive than others, of higher quality...
Depends what you're looking for and whether you're an advanced cyclist etcetc.
Just to add, if you are a newbie to road cycling or having a road bike, it can be pretty handy buying from a shop/store that has good customer service/repair department/area. Where you can ask for advice, and if you're buying stuff from there, they can show you how things work etc, often for free from my own personal experience. This is the beauty, from what I've found, of many a local independent bike shops - the customer service can be excellent and often unrivalled...

It's the Paris-Roubaix that's on this Sunday.

Boonen looks sure fire to win :/ If only the "30% chance of rain" actually happens and somehow a breakaway with Hincapie manages to stay away and big George gets his elusive win.

I can't seem to find the video, but let's just hope it isn't as bad as this!

Speaking of crashes, this is still the greatest save I've ever seen.

The mans insane and his mate Rene Enders is scary.... wouldn't wanna meet him on the track haha.

Enders, Foerstermann, Nimke.

Enders, Foerstermann, Nimke.
Jesus christ, thats shocking. From watching the track racing I thought Enders was the biggest.
In all honesty, If I had to choose the legs I would prefer on my own body, it would be Enders from that pic, I wouldn't want all that muscle.
Cameron Meyer is unreal. The effort he put in in the points race to get gold was absolutely immense.
Laura Trott won the Omnium. 
3 British riders in the same heat in the Kierin. Bit unfair!
Saying that, Hoy and Kenny through! \o/

If you do anything today watch the Kierin final. Chris Hoy does the most insane dive to the inside on the final bend.
Would love to see Chavanel play a hand today. It's going to be so boring if Tom just sprints to the line. Also where is the rain
