Title: The Post Olympics Thread - Sporting Fixtures for the rest of the year? Post by: DaveShoelace on August 13, 2012, 08:13:25 AM As I mentioned in the other thread, the Olympics has really opened up my eyes to sports beyond football. I really want to start watching other sports more, both on the telly box and in person.
I must say, several times I have tried to look up some UK calendars for athletics and indoor cycling, but have found the resources available quite hard to navigate. Sooooooo - as a newly enlightened British sports junkie, what big events are coming up for the rest of the year? Particularly in athletics and cycling? I also fancy seeing the ATP masters at the end of the year. Ideally I'd want to see the big names I saw at London 2012, but all levels are good. I know there is a an athletics meet in Brum this month but I cant go to that. Title: Re: The Post Olympics Thread - Sporting Fixtures for the rest of the year?

Joking aside, will be interesting to see whether numbers in the stands go up for the next few months. Title: Re: The Post Olympics Thread - Sporting Fixtures for the rest of the year? Post by: Snowball on August 13, 2012, 08:38:36 AM http://www.cyclingrevolution.com/tickets.php

Chris Froome will be leader of team sky and is 2nd favourite behind Alberto Contador. This is the last of the 3 Grand tours (France, Italy and Spain) of the year and is going to be a world class field. Title: Re: The Post Olympics Thread - Sporting Fixtures for the rest of the year?

The one day classics are hard & fast racing, excellent viewing. btw I've have a long shot bet on Xavier Florencio, a past winner with something to prove. |
