Like footballers don't collide on a two acre field, Cav didn't roll around holding his head, argue with the commisare, throw his handbag at Gerrans and then ride around in huff. Footballers have so much to learn from the discipline of pro cyclists and as a bonus most can speak more than one language and are able to hold an intelligent conversation. Have you ever ridden Ventoux, Alpe d Huez or even Ditchling Beacon? Hmmm Lua Lua rolling around on the ground feigning injury having been blown over by the opponent when we're 0-1 down, WHATS THAT ALL ABOUT!!!

The cyclists don't feel it. All them drugs mask the pain.

Cyclists are evil, hunt them down and slay them without mercy.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

You can't compare cycling with football.

I agree, the point I'm making is people watch different things, you sir can watch Cycling, football, The Darling Buds of May, The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or a DVD of a man having sex with a donkey, it'll make no difference to mine or anyone else's life

I made the mistake of going to a friends house in Ashdown forest to watch the tour when it came through Sussex. Wow, A few dozen dull advertising vans and then 30 seconds as the peloton came through and then a few dozen support vehicles.
I am not sure what I expected, but I have never ever been to a school/village fete as boring as that.

I am sure the riders are extremely fit, but as a spectator sport it is utter unadulterated poo.

You can't compare cycling with football.

Why not? Footballers have been busted for drugs: Adrian Mutu, Abel Xavier are examples. Yes, cycling is more high profile but it happens in football too. Cycling has been corrupted in the past, UCI were bribed to keep their mouths shut about Lance Armstrong. Likewise match-fixing has come out in the press lately, how long has that been going on?
Both sports require extreme levels of fitness. Both can be done by whoever, I have cycled on the road (although it is important to remember cycling is not just a road sport) and have also played football in the road - the cars coming down the would road get p****d at that too.
Both are dangerous and people have died and been seriously injured from both sports.
Both bring enjoyment to those who participate

Who said they cannot be compared?

[Dr Q]

Only crap drivers who are fat and/or to unfit to do any physical exercise don't consider it a sport.

Oi, I'm a bit fat and unfit, but I consider it a sport, and a great one at that! I don't consider myself a crap driver, so I guess I'm exempt from your accusation

 

[The aloof gatekeeper]

In the list of tedious sporting events you'd have to go a pretty long way to beat The Tour de France. Or indeed all road cycling in particular.

This was brought home to me in 2012 when one of the British cyclists - forget who...Cavendish?? - was moaning he didn't get a medal because the riders in front of him wouldn't slow down and let him catch up. Or something.

 

[BrianWade4]

How anyone regards riding a bike as a sport amazes me, bunch of spandex morons.

Superb. Nailed my views exactly

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Could of done with you backing me up earlier today haha

 

[The Large One]

Can I just point out to the OP that I pay EXACTLY the same amount of Road Tax as he does? To the penny.

And I've never (knowingly) met him.
