Caruut said:I said exactly that today when talking about the women's race. I get that they want to do the whole touristy thing with the race, but no other sport gets this BS trying to capture famous landmarks combined with their events. Don't see table tennis in London Eye pods or anything.
Well, that is part of the charm of this thing of ours. It is not a set setting, it takes the race to the people, and landmarks is part of that. Cycling should be proud to be 1 of the very few sports with that opportunity, to in 1 race truly show what the host city is about rather than just a small specially prepared 200 by 200m area.
