Victoria Pendleton

cheers for posting, was really interesting

"You're too skinny, too puny to be a sprint cyclist."' In a sport that requires explosive moments of acceleration, the men and women have always been physically imposing: short limbs, huge muscles and necks like fire hydrants. Lined up against her opponents, the now 27-year-old Pendleton - lithe, petite and unashamedly feminine - looks entirely out of place.

^Sounds familiar. You can keep your steroids - I like being lithe, petite, and unashamedly feminine :)

OOOOOHHHH DING DONG
Helloooooooo

Were you truly wafted in from heaven?

I feel like i've read half that article before, almost like it's been cut and pasted from a collection of others.

Still, nevermind.

Just got back from the coffee shop where I had a nice cup of tea, errrrm, how shall I put this? I recommend viewing the print copy of the article in the sport magazine as it has some very pleasant images.

yeah, the photos are well rude. the only problem is, she's not on a track bike, just some carbon trek thing.

It was a copy of the Lance Armstrong nude photo by Annie Leibowitz that was also on a Trek bike

but damn did she look fine on the front of OSM!!!!!! double spread is already on the wall ha ha ha

Good article, for sure...

oh really? i didn't realise. but did the bike really have to be the same? i mean, we'd have all enjoyed it more if she had been hunched over some deep track drops.

Check out the gallery :D

We accused Hovis of planning to laminate for use in the shower...

hael Check out the gallery :D

it loads so slow

Yeah great pics.
I was thinking the same about it being a track bike.
Ah well.

This from the year in hell blog:
The latest Observer Sports Monthly -- due this Sunday -- looks like becoming a collector's edition. The cover features triple world champion and prime British Beijing medal hope Victoria Pendleton -- stark naked on a bike, in tasteful homage to Lance Armstrong's 1999 Vanity Fair pose.

I predict that this weekend will see pathetic scenes being played out across the UK.

Middle-aged men whose weekend routines do not normally include the reading of a Sunday paper will gather in furtive groups outside newsagents, waiting for them to open. They will seize copies of the Observer and rush to the privacy of their homes where they will tear the sports supplement from its plastic covering and feast their eyes on the loveliness thereon.

Within minutes, obsessive cries will issue from bedrooms across the land:

"Is that a Madone 6.5? I would have thought they could have stretched to a 6.9, myself -- or preferably used a Litespeed or something, although I suppose the Trek is meant as an Armstrong tribute -- and what are those wheels? Bontragers? They could have upgraded to a pair of Zipps at the very least, or some Lightweights. What cowboy put the bar tape on like that? It won't last five minutes. And the bars are at the wrong angle anyway. I wish she'd move her leg, I can't see what seatpost they've fitted....."

Sad, but you know it's true."

Yeah, but if you're going to do something like put a world champion cyclist on the cover of a magazine, you'd have though that they would at least try to get it right. A track bike wouldn't be too hard to muster up. Or a pair of cycling shoes rather than grubby old trainers... My bad, just realised that they are Shimano's and not a shitty pair of Nikes...
