blondeonabike Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Personally i dont understand all the fuss. I mean...how are women supposed to be good at sports? It takes a lot of training and time. Time they simply dont have in between cooking and cleaning etc... You folks are being unfair to to them by expecting too much.Wayne I like you...... It is great to see some men can relate to how it must feel of a woman to "squander" her prime years being pregnant, breastfeeding and having a tot on her hip. Hell .....my 3 kids are only all in school now and I have the luxury of trying on clothes without having to drag my menagerie into the changerooms with me. So at the ripe old age of 35 any dreams of turning pro may be dashed. But every moment I have on my bike, I am just me....and I don't have to worry about someones project, supper or snotty nose.... is a freedom few men understand.

Shebeen Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I do find the ladies racing just as entertaining however this probably only applies to the top 5 (Manon Carpenter, Rachel Atherton, Emaline Ragot, Tracey Hannah, Tahnee Seagrave)absolutely. we were watching the leogang WC yesterday - my wife was so excited for the ladies ripping it up, down the course.She was saying, surely these girls beat many of the men (actually not the case at all). but when you look at how competitive, it's a very small pool of top ladies. It's probably much harder to crack the top50 in the mens than the top10 in the ladies.
Shebeen Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 for the record. I hope the amazing run of caroline wostmann is never forgotten -she came 24th overall at comrades 2015. regularly see top female athletes in the top30 at ironman events http://rekordeast.co.za/wp-content/uploads/sites/85/2015/05/Caroline-W%C3%B6stmann.jpg?271d84
Rider3000 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 If anything, base it on finishing times if the women ride the same route as the men. Finishing time should dictate % winnings, regardless of gender.Maybe give the women flowers after a race???

Saw another one last weekend..... Daniela Ryf swiss triathele Finished 10th overall this year at Switz 70.3, she had already passed quite a few of the elite men in the swim despite starting 2 minutes behind them.
tombeej Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Gasp! Thats so offensive! Please take it down. How dare they make jokes like this. I agree, what the hell were the organisers thinking - making men hold bouquets of flowers like that? May as well just cut off their meat & 2 veg!
