We have a documentary thread, so how about books for Christmas pressies to give to yer brother, who won't read it, forget who gave it to him, and give it back to you by mistake in five years:
'The Escape' by Pippa York and David Walsh - Walsh is involved, so the writing's top class. It's a kind of a journal of the 2020-2022 Tours de France as the two of them share a car for weeks on end, but also a telling of Robert Millar's journey to become Pippa York. I found it educational, mature, light-hearted and - as Mortimer and Whitehouse would say - life-affirming.
I'm going to guess Peter Taylor and/or Sammy Lee. Those two were fixtures on that bench for what seemed like decades. I'd say they kipped in the dressing rooms in between matches.
Definitely more pace and swing on them, I thought, Mart?
I do think Madsen has been better than Chair on corners, but Oslo's point has to be considered, and also that we may not be as good this season at positioning, runs, decoys etc.
Not sure it matters either way, though. I think it was Jack Supple who pointed out that we were 23rd out of 24th at both attacking and defending set-pieces, and that was before Chair's return.
