Well this is a fine state of affairs. The only thing that could possibly pass as news this morning is in a language we don’t even understand.

I can pretty much work out it’s some kind of football manager game but with bikes (and presumably mysterious doctors offering extra ‘bonuses’) but that’s where my reckoning runs out. I think it’s Italian but beyond basic pizza and pasta recipes I’m scuppered so I’m just going to give you the URL and see if you can work it out.

What do you get in return? A vague sense of smugness and achievement, knowing that you have contributed to what must be one of our lamest news stories ever. Best be quick though as I doubt this early morning nonsense will get through Maria’s ‘proper news’ filter.

On the bright / frustrating side we’re sat on several really great new technology stories that various confidentiality agreements mean we’re not allowed to squeak about yet. Hey ho.

If anyone finds any real news, notices something vaguely amusing on their way into work or perhaps even had something for breakfast that they don’t normally have, then we’ve got a premier news slot waiting just for you 😉

Otherwise we’ll have another shirt review and the nice man from SRAM is coming round to re Gripshift our test fleet – including a full set of X-0 for Scoop’s scooter. If you’ve got any questions for him let us know.
