SFDT Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 win a ride withTyler Hamilton through Discovery, just found this interesting?!
flymango Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I would certainly attend if I lived in Joburg. Might even try arrange a business meeting or two. A ride with Tyler Hamilton would be most interesting if you ask me.
Longbarn Killer Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I would certainly attend if I lived in Joburg. Might even try arrange a business meeting or two. A ride with Tyler Hamilton would be most interesting if you ask me.But would you pay R15 000 to ride with him?

ibruegge Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Funny how some ex-dopers are made heroes and others end up running a bike shop in Woodstock. jared gp 1
flymango Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 But would you pay R15 000 to ride with him? Probably not. That amount of money could be better spent on new components or Fire's cause. But I might just enter for the lucky draw though.
SeaBee Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Even if I was in Johies I would not support this. Purely based on a comment made by (can't remember exactly who) one of the top female cyclists when this book came out. She stated, and I think it's very true, that he'll most likely now go on and make more money by selling a book about drugs than she will earn in her entire career, racing clean. But that's just my feelings. finallygotabike and Andrew Steer 2
sluiper Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 But does this include EPO and blood transfusions along the way? Or do you have to supply your own?
American Flyers Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I hate when someone who support dopers... Rather support the riders that are clean... I hate Discovery anyway!
flymango Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 But does this include EPO and blood transfusions along the way? Or do you have to supply your own? Depends on your Vitality status!
sluiper Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Depends on your Vitality status! Discovery will say they cover it, but the cost would probably come out of your medical savings account in any case
Jaco-fiets Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Bought his book, liked it but won't spend any more money on him. What will his talk be about? How Lance bullied him into doping? What is the best way to dope? How sorry he is and that it is totally wrong and nobody should do it? For *** like that I will borrow my mother's Sarie, Rooi Rose or Huisgenoot Lexx 1
