Re:
It's just a Sky fan wiping his soiled shoes on the mat of the Contador thread. Nothing new. All that Sky does is grand, exciting and great for the sport. Any proposals to minimize their dominance and bring entertainment to the Tour is simply bad news. Riders that don't go along with the current gc rider program of being happy with their lot in life as runner ups are foolish for trying, obsolete and destined be seen as unaccepted rascals. How dare they not settle in and just follow the train up the mountains?
How can we not see this all as entertainment?
hrotha said:It boggles the mind that anyone can compare the early 90s, with frequent long-range attacks by the contenders on all kinds of terrain, with the last few years with their waiting game until 3-1 km to go. Are you confusing "close race" with "fun race" perhaps?
