Lance. Just because I like drugs, not PED's, just recreational.

More Paolini then?
Tommy has gone so I'll take A.N. other frenchman. All in suicidal attack on Bastille day that is doomed to failure.
Bottle carrier and food fetcher.
Thread delivers!

The Badger.
Ultimate Big Hitter.
Team driver, not a good one or anything though.
More like the one that knocked Johnny Hoogerland into a barbed wire fence
Motorbike man, you order I ride across the border to deliver, reasonable prices all genuine stuff no counterfeit PED's from me.
In vets races I’m Jens. Attack, attack, attack. Repeat. In non-vets races I’m Arnold Demare. In the alps. Trying to hang on and looking for a sticky bottle. Except I do fly up hills. But there are few proper hilly races. I just get dropped a lot. Gruppetto fodder.
Have been lantern rouge in a stage raceaat year. With REAL lantern rouge! And in fairness, I wasn’t actually last but I let a 17 yo junior retain some pride. After all i was only three times his age.

This thread just goes to show that, apart from the likes of TiRed who have actually pinned a number on and know something about their capabilities, we have no clue what we would be good at if we had a career as a pro, or even if we'd have made it in the first place.
I’d never have made it. Starting at Chris Horner’s age now didn’t help. When you race, even at regional level, it’s definitely them and us. At the few national level races I do, the class divide is even bigger.
I raced with Richardson the week after he won the Lincoln GP. The way he cruised up and down the bunch before just riding off to bridge the gap to the break was just awesome. At least I finished in the bunch! That was my victory!
Road captain and domestique. Happy with that. It’s a team sport after all.
Given my curent abilities, I suspect* I'd be out the back of départ fictif before the flag drop for the départ réel. However if I were magically granted an serious improvement on my existing skills - I'm a rouleur, a puncheur, definitely not a grimpeur. I have a few KOMs on longer flattish rough stuff (canal towpaths) so I'd be Greg van Avaermat, the classics specialist brought in to to a job on the cobbles
*know for a fact

Yer takin it too seriously man.
Think of it more like an “I wish” or some low level fantasy league..
Both ed and BB are correct, you've no idea what a road race is like until you've done one, but this thread is just a bit of fun.
I would be Kryton (i hope thats the right user name,apologies if not) and stuck at the start trying to decide which bike i should use.
