Tour de France 2018

Who should earn more, a cyclist or a cole mine worker?

There is also the question of genetics, and whether your body has the potential for the training. I highly doubt a very good rugby prop can train to become a pro tour rider.

 

I'm sure sky can turn him into one....

On average, the Coal miner.

It's a long way to the top (if you wanna rock and roll)ACDC.

May as well apply to cycling.

 

Riding down the highway

Going to a show

Stop in all the by ways

Playing rock n roll

Getting robbed

Getting stoned

Getting beat up

Broken boned

 

Getting had

Getting took

I tell you folks

It's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the top

If you wanna rock and roll

So you can’t support Froome or G because Dave?

Here is an example of how people sneak false narratives into their views.

 

“Their mission is to kill the race and remove the possibility of any excitement. That’s how they win and they have become very good at it.”

 

No,

 

Their mission is to win, they do this by killing the other teams strategies and removing the possibility of any stacks. That’s how they win and they have become very good at it.

 

Two very different motivations.

 

They don’t rock up at the tour to make it boring, they rock up there to win it. The in which they win it is condidered boring by some.

Some more behind the scenes

Interesting watch

Make no mistake, Dave's a plonker. I don't know the guy, I only know him by what's reported in the media... Oh wait... If they have their own agenda, that'd mean they could twist reporting to their own ends... surely... they wouldn't do that would they?

Especially not the Irish! #MostBalancedViews

Not sure if this has been shared before, but this does put things into perspective for those of us who were overly critical on the sprinters who didn't make the cutoff during the climbing stages of the Tour.

7 or so minutes of Sagz Baby coolness during 2nd rest day

That is absolutely mind blowing.... I didn't realise there is such an insane difference.... Wow...

Look at the Argus. It barely registers.

A stat that I heard a while ago that puts the TDF into perspective.

 

If you take the time of the guy who came dead last, he would have ridden a 2h50 Argus, twice a day for 21 days.

Makes sense though, they are professional and do this for a living. It's the same as comparing the time that the average office worker would take to complete a complicated tax return to the time it would take a professional who works with it everyday. One should be seriously faster than the other.

 

But agreed, it does put it into perspective.
