Kids on podiums

[RobertCrawley]

I guess I don’t understand why some people feel this is some kind of somber, solemn affair, like the crowning of a royal at Westminster Abbey. If the winner wants to bring kid, or granny, why not. It harms no one.

It's a shame Groupama FDJ did not win the team classification. It would have been nice to see them bring their kids on the podium

Please do not throw shade on Thibaut Pinot's beloved goats. That's just wrong.

Fine, someone will bring their dog, cow, extended family and couple of neighbours. Why not, eh?

The thing is, it's avkward and doesn't belong there. You can't even hold your damn trophy and pose for couple photos without dealing with a kid or running after him.

Take your trophy, pose for photos and when the official couple minutes are over, bring together all your family and kids from all the girlfriends, current and past and have a photo field day.

And yet you don't want his goats in your bedroom to read you a story!

I... don't know how to tell you this but...





Goats can't read.

Not in Denmark, they can't...However those French goats...

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Meh, as long as the little *** behave themselves I don't care. But I still would prefer the focus be on the rider rather than his/her offspring.

That's no way to talk about Thibaut's goats

Are we still talking about goats?

I think we're talking about kids now.
As in, human kids.

Is Vingegaard dyslexic? As far as I can see he seems to be a Danish goat?

Sorry, I found myself posting into the wrong thread again. My profuuuuse apologies!

Or human ***.

Anyway, I'm a bigger fan of Donkey Kong Guillaume Martin. Donkey Rupublic should make him an ambassador.

Someone really has to give Martin and Pinot a big win so that we can see donkeys and goats on the podium! And why doesn't Cav bring his dog?!

 

[noob]

If complaining on kids on podium cannot we complain about the talks on the podium instead? So awkward!

I rather want to see Rein Taaramäe's dog on a podium.

Or a poodium, if it doesn't behave.

I'm waiting to see what happens when an Israel Premier Tech rider wins a race. Will they bring their now-adult children onto the podium or their grandkids?

 

[red_flanders]

Apparently we’ve hit that slow period when the Tour is over and we don’t have everyone’s tactics to complain about…

They would already be occupied with both their arms, one for the trophy, one for their walking stick. Can't hold a grandkid as well.

I don't really give a rip either way, but I do feel like someone did it once, and now everyone feels like they need to do it too.

I have no issues. If I'd just spent 3 weeks away from my small child achieving one of my greatest (if not greatest) sporting achievements I'd probably want them close to me while it sinks in as well.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Not sure about the kids, but in this post pandemic world, I'd like to see the riders take their doctors up onto the podium.
