A completely irrational comment especially as I think, I think, that Liz Armitstead races for a Dutch team, or at least spends an awful lot of time in Holland.
PS - her training hill would be the back road out of Otley up onto the Chevin, the bitch, I've never been able to ride up that bas'tad of a hill even in my younger years its always been a get-off-and-push moment
