leave everything on the road

[edit]

This is the cycling version of the snowclone "leave X somewhere". The X can be "it", "it all", "everything", or some specific emblem of effort. "Somewhere" is usually a prepositional phrase referring to an arena of competition, such as "on the field". The prototype is probably "leave it all on the field".

If we keep this, we should certainly have the readily attestable expression leave someone on the field, meaning to "lose to death a member of one's military unit in battle". DCDuring TALK 21:20, 27 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
