Re:
As for podium presentations, I'd take a punt that the riders may have no objection to some celebrity or cycling legend handing out the prizes/jersey. Tour of California - Bradley Cooper? DeNiro? take your pick, there's loads of celebs there...
On the continent, again take your pick.
If you won Paris/Roubaix, who would you prefer; some pretty girl or someone like RDV, Moser, Kelly, Hinault, Museew, Van Looy or even Merckx to give you your cobblestone?
May not have to be a 'local' either - I'd think that when Caleb Ewen won his Vuelta stage, he'd have been pretty happy to have some previous top sprinter like Robbie McEwen present his trophy, no?
that pic was more for the sign than who's holding it or the issues going on in India, and in reference to the difference in standards held, as well as society's thought processes...fatandfast said:this is one subject that always morphs into something bigger and completely different from it's origin.
Showing woman from India..ok..they are in the streets primarily for woman's rights, in the streets and in the courts. After women are gang raped or killed they is little to no justice. A man or group of men can rape a woman(and other sexual assaults) with little to no consequences. The women march also to protest the minimal public outrage at the events..pretty different from podium girls.They are marching to end or change life and death issues.
