O’Donnell is a world hour record holder and Australian Time Trial champion who brings a heady mix of medical and sports knowledge to proceedings.

That’s not something you’re going to hear in most sports commentary – in fact, in any commentary by anyone other than Keenan, who makes up for it (just about) with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the sport. Already this year, he’s mentioned one rider looking ‘like the offspring of Mick Jagger’ and having to dance his way back to the peloton. In terms of team dynamics, Keenan is the leader, at least when it comes to delivering the weirdest possible statements without a hint of irony. Bridie O’Donnell, Matthew Keenan and Simon Gerrans are already interacting like a well-oiled bike chain. Such is the built and natural beauty of the country that you can even watch highlights of just that, not the cycling.

Whilst riding in cold conditions replete with arm warmers, under no circumstances is there to be any exposed skin between the hems of your kit and the hems of your arm warmers. Rule #82 of Velominati’s The Rules should suffice as illustration: There are strict rules around the aesthetics of road cycling, as obvious to enthusiasts as out-of-season haute couture would be to the editor of Vogue. ClothingĬycling is ‘just men, women or non-binary people in lycra’ in the same way that tennis is just men, women and non-binary people waving sticks around. So, in the interest of workplace harmony, let me offer some insight into why you should show sympathy to your sleep-deprived cycling-loving colleagues in July. ‘Isn’t it just staring at men in lycra for hours on end?’ one colleague asked in a way that knocked the wind out of me and saw me waiting forlorn at my desk for the sag wagon.
