So what was Nicholas Parsons doing at the Shay Elliott Memorial race in 2005?

Truth be told it wasn't him but his double, Paul Tabak, manager of Dutch outfit BRC Kememesland-burgundy blazer, black gingham shirt, grey flannels and shades-dapper guy! Dead ringer for Nicholas.

Christopher Jennings – From Rapha to VC La Pomme

Viktor’s View – The Edinburgh Nocturne 2009

VeloVeritas at the Het Nieuwsblad 2011

The issue of weather for Het Nieuwsblad 2011 (or Gent - Gent as the locals still call it) is a dichotomy: if it's wet it's a proper man's race but you get frozen and soaked whilst spectating; but if it's a nice day and you're not near-death when you stumble into your favourite bar to watch the finale then you end up watching 100-plus riders contesting the finish.

Here at VeloVeritas we aim to provide our readers with truthful, accurate, unique and informative articles about the sport we love.
