Floyd-Wwhat to make of him

[Wheelsuck]

Not sure what to make of this, my question is why is Floyd still riding, has he not harmed the cycling enough to create a sideshow?

People make mistakes wheelsuck, sometimes serious ones.

 

.....but people also repent, apologise and try to move forward.

 

I see no future in demonizing them for their past mistakes, heaven knows I have made plenty as well, we all have, and in our own little world, they may have had just as far reaching consequences as Floyds.

 

"The truth will set you free" - never a truer word has been spoken, perhaps thats all Floyd really wants to do.?

[Wheelsuck]

Agree with you but why is he still at races? what does he want to achieve with that, he is no longer competitive and that t-shirt stunt, he could have borrowed a shirt, I am just trying to understand why someone would act like that?

[Oertel]

Because he is a cyclist?

[GrumpyOldGuy]

Yeah, I think thats probably it.

 

Its something he just do's.

 

He identifies himself as an athlete (cyclist)feels he has something further to offer, and probably needs to earn a living somehow.

 

Its a bit like getting retrenched from your job. You want to start again, its just something you do.

it wasnt a stunt. organizers told him to remove his branded top, so he had to use a tshirt

 

better than that ridiculous stunt RS pulled @ tdf final stage.

 

what a mockery

There is no such thing as bad publicity...See, you are also talking about it PLUS you posted a link of the "stunt" to someone else.

I've been reading quite a bit of the TDF posts. What keeps blowing my mind is how obsessed you (fandacious) are with Armstrong and the Shack. Have you started maybe 10+ anti-armstrong threads? 20+ anti-armstrong posts???

 

Dude, I'm seriously starting to think that you've got a crush on the guy?
