Opinion: Why I would vote for Brian Cookson

[straatvark]

"Now Cookson calls for a simple vote between him and PMQ. So no vote about whether nomination is valid"

 

I like him - its me and you stuff, see you in the park behind school when the bell ring

this UCI vote thing sounds remarkably similar to getting a group ride together

Perhaps things wil go better. Doping still the main problem imo. Lets wait and see Cookson's true coulours

[Mackie]

Pat, thanx for effall, jou ma se blou dinges!

While most of Twitterati will be going mad, I will be interested to see Kimmage's comments. Called Cookson "spineless".

So, our lobbying in the form of calling him a bad word in PMB worked...

Think it has to do with the fact that Cookson knew about the lawsuit

Andrew pushed the CSA for an answer on who they/we're voting for live on SuperSport and twice the beloved CSA official refused to answer.

 

I don't get it. Why all the secrecy? Secrecy just leads to w anchors like Fat Pat being voted in.

 

If Fat Pat gets voted in again I will happily write the UCI off. The man is a throw back from cycling's dirty past and needs to be removed as part of the cleansing process.

 

Leaving Fat Pat in place is like making Lance Armstrong the riders representative...

 

On twitter Andrew also ventured a guess that they got the feeling CSA was leaning towards Cookson.
