Lucky Luke. Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 It should go back to like it was in the good old days Badger's wife forgot his sandwiches again?
'Dale Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Road racing is not for sissies.Or woosies as some might call it. So, put your gear and helmet on with care and respect for the road.
'Dale Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I remember some pics of Allan van Heerden with his rantrums!!

Dude. Don't want to completely destroy your Karma.... But the ROAD really doesn't give a damn. EDIT: "Road racing is not for sissies." And so, what of all the snot and drama whenever they fall off?

banna Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Stick to the MTB it does seem slightly more honest. Well ja, I hope you're right. As soon as you add big money to the mix, the doping will probably start there in all earnest as well. Just waiting for the first Epic doping case...
AndreZA Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Well ja, I hope you're right. As soon as you add big money to the mix, the doping will probably start there in all earnest as well. Just waiting for the first Epic doping case... I'm sure there are a few in the lower ranks that were not completely kosher. But they do not get tested as they do not receive prize money.

Just waiting for the first Epic doping case... Previously, super fit cyclists suffered heart attacks in the middle of night, due to EPO induced sludge in their veins....

Lucky Fish Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Now in downhill racing if you get a puncture its tough luck. I am sure they will allow you to change your wheel and then try to catch-up - just like the roadies have to do. It is also tough luck if you get a puncture on the road. I have not heard of a cyclist planning to have a puncture, although I have often begged for a puncture to come when the pace was just too hot for me! Alas, it only comes at the wrong time.

American Flyers Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I love Bernard Hinault and he does not take any ****! It is sad that modern cycling, you will get fine for doing this! Boring!
banna Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I'm sure there are a few in the lower ranks that were not completely kosher. But they do not get tested as they do not receive prize money. Ugh... I'm trying to understand the whole doping mentality. Doesn't it say something about you as a person from a moral/ethical point of view when you dope? Doesn't it bother them that you're not achieving your results on your own steam?
gummibear Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Jeroen Blijlevens v. Bobby Julich..... starts at 1:00. Edited July 13, 2011 by gummibear
MTB_Roadie Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 in Downhill you can't really change a wheel as you will lose 3 min and then you lost the race anyway....where a road race is 150km+ so its in their benefit as they are allowed to change a wheel...so if you want to complain I am sure u can get a backup motorcycle to go behind you on a DH stage with a spare wheel....

I also agree there!

People will do anything to get the upperhand in life. They cheat in sport and in life. For some it's a kick-back on a quote for others it is drugs to go further. For me, I'm just happy if my CRC order comes in without being charged duties.
