   Those of you who know my 'fangirl' history will know I've long had a bike crush on Cedric Gracia. I got round to watching a skills DVD that I got free a couple of months or so ago...

   Be still my beating heart! Fabien Barel!!!! Why have I never appreciated his talents before?!!

   Cedric has the added bonus that he has a personality!

   Barel (who oddly looks like Sharki with a tiny bit more hair!) is one hell of a racer, but Gracia is still king when it comes to style.

   but

   he's French

   Probably the reason she likes him!

   So does Fabs! (just my little pet name... ) Just more 'low key' My tastes have matured.

   Mboy, the accent helps.

   Not Sharki's, Fabien's.

    Flash, it's his bike skills I appreciate, honest.

    Hairy had a man-crush on him afterwards

    If he's retired from racing he might do coaching... Hmm, MTB cut filmed the DVD I was watching, Maybe Stu Thomson can get me his number?... On a strictly professional basis of course.

    It's a good tactical move- one of his legs is shorter than the other, so when he tries to run from you he'll just go in circles and be easier to catch.

    Unless he's running along the side of a hill....

    Does that mean he is a haggis?
