PeverilPeril 3,281 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Sometimes a star, or successful performer can surpass their individual achievements by forming a double act. The latest (today) is 'Wiggo & Cav'. Tour De France winner and World Road Race Champion paired up to win an exiting Track World Madison championship this afternoon. Watched the race in my local during my 5th pint of Hobgoblin - life could not be better! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Like yer' style Pev, I'd watch a tea towel dry on a radiator with a Hobgoblin in me hand! Sirrell & Wheeler Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 #1, yes PP, it was a fantastic achievement but to be expected from two cycling greats. We watched the race too and I was worried about Cavendish after he fell off, he looked concussed to me! It's been another successful championship for GB Cycling. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 It's well time that Peter Taylor was duly recognised with a statue alongside Cloughie. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Thought there WAS one now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Well it's not alongside Cloughie. We'll have to start a collection. I'll donate my £5 winnings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Thought there WAS one now? There is a Clough and Taylor statue at Pride Park, Derby. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Forest have already honoured Peter Taylor. I think everybody wanted this to happen. http://www.nottinghampost.com/Peter-Taylor-Stand-signs-officially-unveiled-City/story-27909510-detail/story.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 There ought to have a been a statue of Clough & Taylor alongside each other, they were a duo after all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Taylor was the talent spotter, Cloughie was the motivator. They should ALWAYS be looked upon as a double act. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We watched the race too and I was worried about Cavendish after he fell off, he looked concussed to me! It's been another successful championship for GB Cycling. Falling off helped Cav to get going. You must have seen many a rider fall, then to remount and ride out of their skin. Happened to me several times. Did you notice them exchange grins when their break had formed? Spain were perfect break partners, racing for Bronze. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
