quick question, would you prefer to only gather results from some more well known races rather than any old one because i've found a 3rd place at a 'Bob Chicken GP'
and also, would you only like to know the positions of more well known riders because there are a lot of U23 british riders with good positions, that i know but i'm not sure if anyone else does

Bleed it out
In the wreckage of a job well done
I saw a place I'd never seen before, yeah
And that moment I refused to close my eyes anymore

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome, may not be a well known race bit it is his 1st TMO win if i'm correct
good on the lad, he should just keep getting better and better (hopefully)
EDIT: sorry just done a bit of research on the race and found out that Eddie Merckx won it in 1972, Mario Cipollini won it in 1991, 1993, Peter van Petegem in 1994, Erik Zabel 1997, Robbie McEwen in 2002 and 'big' Tom Boonen in 2004, 2006 (among many other great riders of whom i can't be bothered to list)
so it's not as unheard of as i thought, with all those great past-winners

Millar took 4th in Stage 6 of the Tour de Georgia. A sprint finish  ! I doubt he's turning into a sprinter tho. |
