Who do you hate more?

Lance or Cav. The two most arrogant riders in the sport over the last 10 years. At least Lance raises money for charity

Grow up fool

my wife tells my kids "hate is a strong word" - no pun intended

 

[markene2]

Cavendish, he is a complete ***!

Armstrong out of Amstel Gold Race

Grow up fool

Right on. I mean, why does anyone bother talking about this jerk? Let's ignore him completely until the Tour de France, since that's the only race he cares about anyway.

Lance Dopestrong will never figure in any other race anymore because he doesn't want to get hurt and hinder his chances in the Tour de France. I mean, he may help a team mate...but that's about it...

And here Farrar already has two top-ten finished in the Classics this year already!

Oh, and Cav acutally wins races!!!

 

[IntheMidwest]

I would re-word the poll to ask: Who would you rather not see in the pro peloton today? (LA or Frodo)

 

[ridley]

And those are the ONLY choices - I vote for Ricco !!!

Wow the results are quite surprising

This forum. Hate, hate, hate.

This forum. Hate, hate, hate.

I think it's largely a simplistic American thing. There is only strong love or strong hate for riders. They see the sport as a sort of soap opera. In Europe cycling is traditionally a more working class sport and tough sport where its accepted that strong characters are part of it.

There is not one single professional cyclist that I hate. I don't get this like or dislike thing based on a few remarks. It's petty to me.

 

[ridley]

I think it is all about the symantics - it is aversion rather than hate, but the easy translation still relates to the word 'hate'

Bettini says hi from faaaaaar above them

BPC or whatever other name

 

[auscyclefan94]

hate cav more because he's british!

 

[spanky wanderlust]

lance is probably a local hero at the moment for doing the right thing and dropping out of AG. now, if he would only drop the remainder of his race schedule and go back to shagging b-list celebs!

on this forum, this week. lance doesn't even rate. ok, he's in there, but my guess for most despised right now is valverde.

a known doper who escapes justice and makes a mockery of the whole sport, who won a stage of a protour race with some primadonna handwaving and complaining, and then wins the next stage, quite possibly using the same tactics he complained about the day before?

or

brash, angst-ridden, possibly steroid addled, but extremely talented kid who can't control his mouth?

i'll take option a.

that's pretty funny, but try watching hockey on Versus only to see the Lance Shack commercial every ten minutes, today Cavendish is pretty high on the list because he's being an champion to a team-mate

Yeah the hate-monger mob will move on to another target tomorrow.

Who shall we hate next? Who has a new girlfriend? Which performance can we question? Who shall we say needs to retire? Who is doing something "wrong"?

And so on it goes.

 

[Ferminal]

Cav, because he's good.

You don't need to worry about hating Lance anymore as he's not winning anything.

 

[rides like a girl]

I voted LA. If you try to follow cycling in the States, using mainstream media, he dominates the coverage. They buy his load, no questions asked. Never seems to get criticized for his behavior. I dislike Cav. My dislike for him has not had the chance to grow to hate, he isn't covered as much here.

Though I do think Phil and Paul have man crushes on Cav after watching the Tour coverage here. They have full fledged man love for LA.

I prefer...oh it isn't about me...

 

[180mmCrank]

Not funny.

There must be something more useful to post on than this!
