To the poepol that started all this. You can not be a real cyclist or sportsman for that matter because any athlete who has pushed him or herself to new levels will know the hard work and dedication it takes; wether you are a fun rider or a pro. I have the utmost respect for people who can give it their all even when the odds are stacked up against them. (like with the women) All the best for Marissa, Lynette, Cherise, Robyn and Yolande. I know you will make us proud. I am Mrs. Hook it and I also cycle for one of the ladies teams. We work just as hard if not even harder than some of the men. Some of us have full time jobs and family responsibilities but yet we still make time to train and beat some of the top male riders out there. Just look at Yolande de Villies. She is 35 years of age, has 3 kids and a full time job yet she can hang in there with some of the top male vets. For any of u who were at Worlds View. There were some ladies who performed like stars and I am sure they will in NZ too. You go girls. You have my utmost respect to go and do something you are passionate about even if some t**sers think you are not deservant of a chance. As for Mr. Cyclist of the year. If your comments did not enlarge the crown jewels you should maybe opt for surgery cause you will make less of an idiot of yourself cause it is private and I think medical aid shoul cover. As for the rest of the gentlemen out there. Thank you so much for supporting your mothers, sisters, wifes etc. You guys are the real men.
