Well, it’s pretty safe to say Ricco the cyclist’s cycling career is done. It’s also pretty safe to say Ricco the man needs help. In this thread, forget about Ricco the cyclist. This thread is only about Ricco the man.
He needs help from us in the forum, if that’s possible, to get back on his feet. I’m willing to give it a shot. Here’s part of the reason why. Someone (Ferminal I think) posted earlier this week he hoped Ricco did not get jail time because he feared where that might lead Ricco. I know Ricco’s situation is not the same as the following, but I just don’t want Ricco to go the way of Pantani or Jose Maria Jiminez.
Words are mightier than the sword. I realize many people have had negative things to say about Ricco this week, me included. The same people also have deep concern for Ricco the man. I’d like us to tap into that last part. I think to help Ricco out we need to send lots of good thoughts and vibes his way by posting something positive, something encouraging, or something to build him up.
You might say I’m crazy to launch a thread like this and you might say it’s pointless. I’m willing to take that risk. You never know who might be a member of this forum, who might read this and have it get back to Ricco that people care. It’s been said many times what this world needs is more love and here’s a chance to show some to someone in need.
So post away, and please keep it positive and on topic. No sarcasm please. And PLEASE REPEAT what others posters have already posted. There are only a handful of things that can be said, but Ricco does not need to hear all that many different things. He just needs to hear a few things many times, even if it’s just DITTO that post.
So I’ll start by saying Ricco, you are important in this life. And I, for one, care that you come out of this fine.
