Hahaha Gnash , not a proper sport , the Tour De France must be the most punishing sporting event in World sport and this lad has over the last few yrs won over 20 yes 20 stages , officially the BEST SPRINTER IN THE WORLD , now to be the best at a sport so demanding/tough is a feat to rival any sportsman this country has , and coming from Isle Of Man makes it that extra special Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Duncan 802 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 If there is no skill in competitive cycling, does that also mean there is no skill in motorbike racing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob190364 2,594 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 If there is no skill in competitive cycling, does that also mean there is no skill in motorbike racing? you've clearly never ridden a motorcycle to come out with that!!!! you can't possibly compare riding a pushbike to racing a motorbike, the ONLY similarity is the number of wheels.
