Seems like pro's in SA aren't liked. Remind me not to turn pro!!!!
Or have ppl actually made a concerted effort to introduce themselves and get to learn what that person maybe about.

Amazing how ppl can sit, point a finger meanwhile they can be just as arrogant in the field/profession,and just because there are those who succeed in "their sport of choice" or love, all of a sudden they have ego's and whats more, it the younger generation that is now making their success!!!! Funny that!!!

Ermm since this has become a debate about whether SA pro cyclists are nice or not and why, may I please for the sake of this thread...

According to the UCT Sport Science Institute:

 

An Elite (male) Cyclist is someone who has the following attributes

 

* Normal body fat% range for elite male athletes (pre-competition):  8 ? 12%

* Peak power output for elite cyclists ranges from 400 ? 550 W<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

* Power to weight ratio for elite cyclists ranges from 5.5 ? 7 W/kg

* VO2max   for elite cyclists ~ 68 ? 85 ml/kg/min

Just a thought...
