or any other contestant in the Tour De France with all those fucking people in the way snapping pictures at the last moment possible

alexg · 07-21-2004, 08:02 AM

They're professional...they don't think about it while they're cycling

Corleone · 07-21-2004, 08:02 AM

I suppose... it's bad anytime

Nah all those photographers taking pics are a side effect of interest in the sport.. he'd be MORE pissed if they weren't there and no one knew who he was.

they could at least show some respect and stay out of the way

Mr. Mojo Risin · 07-21-2004, 08:08 AM

makes me want some video game publisher to put out a cycling game with a real bike as a controller

that would be really fun and good exercise

True.. but people are assholes. They all want that great front page worthy shot that pays the big bucks.

Mr. Mojo Risin · 07-21-2004, 08:16 AM

I wonder how a grueling race link the Tour De France affects the body. Short term and long term

zanycash Pete · 07-21-2004, 08:16 AM

They are used to it!

Mr. Mojo Risin · 07-21-2004, 08:21 AM

they really overdo it with the gear though IMO. Aerodynamic helmets and their clothing... I doubt that really matters much... lightweight bikes would matter

These are available, but not as games to the general public. They're often used as training tools or for rehabilitation.

Corleone · 07-21-2004, 08:27 AM

armstrong & ullrich are from another planet

Jensen · 07-21-2004, 08:41 AM

anyone else spot that www.thehun.com ad written?

they can't make the bikes lighter btw.. rules for that.. some even have weights on their spare bikes... and aerodynamics and all their gear has tons of affect.. it's a reason why they spend so much time in the windtunnels, positioning on the bike etc...

It's part of bicycle racing, always has been, always will be. The spectators lining the narrow streets, roads, cheering, waving flags, running along side the riders, etc is as much a part of the race as anything. All professional cyclists know this and have experience dealing with it. A bunch of people doing all that stuff all around him doesn't phase him cause he knows it's part of the race...

It may look weird to people who don't follow cycling, but the more you follow it, the more you understand all the little things like this that go hand in hand with the race...
