This is a very good point nochain.... And I also saw some of it coming through in Groot Lem's post about parents wanting to teach their children the art of racing but going about it without a clue' date=' just he didn't develop it. Maybe he was just angry... lol I also believe that we need a solution for racing, otherwise like someone else said in this thread, all we have is fun rides... And our Pro's, well they just fun riders too... [/quote'] Yes Pantani,Guttering is part of the natural selection process in cycling.If we don't offer them this "tool" then how will we every be able to determine who really has what it takes?? There are so many examples of top europeen pro's that lost races due to Guttering. Now we expect our pro's to just get of the plane and compete?? Same goes for the other racing bunches.Many of these guy's want to go to worlds and compete against guy's that use guttering as a tactic on a weekly bases??
