Ignorant? Nice, really nice Timmy. Maybe have a think about that and try again. Like Cadel or not, his ride overnight is deserving of respect

Spoken like a true armchair critic......yes he definitely won the Giro stage, Worlds and Fleche by wheel-sucking. You don't have to like the guy at all....it's not a popularity contest, but maybe have a little respect eh?

The race doesn't need to be changed or improved at all. Making the race harder by including a TT or more climbs wont necessarily improve the race, it will simply discourage a lot of the better riders from coming out for the race. As for moving the race from Adelaide?? Why? This race would not...

Probably best not to comment on things about which you clearly know nothing...15 times up a 3.5km climb ring any bells here? You've completely missed Robbie's point......actually did you read article at all?? :o

Blake, you're flat-out wrong. Riders DO NOT have to put up with the often very poor behaviour directed at them by the 'media circus'. With respect to the Wiggins interview, maybe cut him some slack, as we don't know what went on prior to what was telecast. I agree he didn't come across very...

Errrr Believe everything you read in the press? Truth is, that's NOT what happened. Having a vote as to who would be team leader would be the most divisive situation you could have on a team. It's not a democracy, that why we have directors

Doh I'd always thought that the tour was a bike race not a popularity contest.:o

You what? These riders coming back do NOTHING but make the sport look like a complete joke. He was not doing anything the other were not doing??? Err yes he was and he always has.......There are riders finishing top 10 on GC at the grand tours clean, and riders like the chicken, Landis et al can...

Does this competition include whinging forum posters whinging about riders whinging too? ;)

I'm not sure Cadel is upset with his team-mates per say, I think it's a team management/nationality issue causing the issues we're seeing. Personally I'd like to see Cadel find a team which is prepared to back him properly. He may never win the tour, but it would be nice to see him have a decent...

Are you sure they chased deliberately? Did you see 2-3 Silence guys inc, Cadel riding on the front in the closing Km's? If we're to assume that Garmin did chase George down, then how do we explain Silence Lotto's presence? Garmin may well have been just keeping the peletons speed up to keep...

Boeing.....clearly you haven't watched much pro-tour racing nor can you have much of an understanding of it, other wise you'd have a much greater appreciation for the racing and what it requires. I'm pretty sure it's a fair bit tougher than sitting in an arm-chair giving a half arsed critique ;)

Nuff said really :rolleyes:

Errr?....Cycling as 50 or 60 guys getting paid? You are wrong......period. Best do some more reading I think. The EU has a minimum wage for riders with a pro contract and I'm fairly sure that there's more than 50-60 riders in Europe. Same goes for ALL team staff on these teams. FACT You're...

Fatandfast you might want to read WSJ article again. "Cycling's top salary, according to coaches, sponsors, cyclists and team executives"....this is their source? Dude, they're taking a stab in the dark, and as for the 'other cycling websites'...read above. You're right re Hinault though. Most...
