The Woman's Worlds: Embarassing
... posted October 13, 2002 at 5:05:43 E.S.T. by been there

Ok this is going to sound bad, so let me frame this by saying that my cycling coach was a very famous ex-olympian female. Tough as nails and tactically sauve. With that in mind :

I just watched the woman's worlds live on French TV. Oh la la! What a piece of crap. Firstly the course sucks. Absolutely flat. Totally boring. The racing was the worse amateur chase and sit up I've ever seen at a pro race. Crashes every lap. Girls crashing 'cause they see a crash. No organisation at all. At one point a Spanish girl was chasing her own teammate. At another point the Italians were chasing and as the lead rider pulls off..her teammate sits on her wheel?! Why the hell do the bother wearing radios ?

The French commentators where trying to be magnaminous, but eventually they just started saying a lot of "incroyable!". I could hear them shaking their heads. Me, I was yelling at the screen, "Counter that!" "You're away, pull thorough you dumb, lazy *****. You're a pro. This is the Worlds!"

Argghhhh!!!!!!!

Sorry, but the woman should be ashamed of themselves. They need to learn how to bike race.

Notable exception: the four breakaway riders. Only bike racers I could see out there. Respect to them.
