Do you think
St John's Ambulance
will be in attendance?

The dealers will have to ask their athlete customers to sign consent forms

I have issue with this. Not the fact that athletes are willing to do it. More where the money goes (of which there will be some, no one does anything for free), because you can be damn sure it isn't going to the people putting themselves at risk.

There's a Trump involved, you can trust that everything will be on the up and up

Anyone remember the Tour de Trump? Anyway, Armstrong will always be a polarising figure, and he used and abused the system just like he was used by the UCI to manipulate and regain a positive image for the sport post-'The Great Doping Scandal'. The levels of cynicism are off the charts here, and is it any wonder that the average sports fan regards bike racing with such contempt and derision?

Surely the average sports fan regards cycle racing with contempt because its a bunch of guardian reading vegetarians in lycra, blocking the path of their SUV?

Fair comment, not exactly promoting our sport here. I stick my hand up.

Wait, there's a sport other than football? Are you sure? That doesn't sound right, I heard about rugby, but that's just football for big boys, and someone mentioned darts, but that's a hobby.

goat' and his Motorala bikes were awesome. in the US coverage of the tour Peacock)nbc network allowed him to commentate after each stage with other guests. mens and womens race - he is now forgiven it would seem

I've just checked. According to the Beeb there's something called cricket, that appears to be played by girls. Sounds like something you'd play down the park though, so not a real sport. The rest is about the only sport though, football.
