Tour de Yorkshire is a one off in 2015. Cant fault them for covering it.

......ok shut down this message board then.

As for sanctimonious, isn't a large part of the audience who are now 'in to' cycling only so because they can say at their middle-class dinner parties whilst comparing their mortgages and couple of kids that they watched the cycling. It's reached that level that tennis and golf have.....you get a mortgage and 2 kids, you start like cycling/tennis/golf because you're a respectable middle class person.....not because it actually entertaining sport.

"Ohhhhh Barry, did you watch the TDY, did you see how so-and-so peddled for that 30 secs.....it was like watching Lionel Messi on a bike, pure magic"

If you didn't include crashes then a highlights reel of cycling would just be what you see by looking out your window when driving. Dire.'"

Just what was it that made you so bitter and twisted?

"The Golden Generation finally has its Golden Fleece! They have Wembley Cup Final winners medals to add to their collection." 23/08/2014:



Quote: Euclid "Just what was it that made you so bitter and twisted?'"


Not bitter or twisted at all. The subject was about cycling (as a spectator sport btw, not those who cycle in general, and I repeat I enjoy the track cycling) I gave an opinion that I find it a boring sport to watch and seemingly their's anger that somebody could think such a thing.

It can only possibly be because I don't understand the sport people argue, their's no other logical reason for not loving it......no, it's just simply because it's boring. In the process of defending cycling other posters have critisiced football and F1.....am I to assume that these posters don't truely understand those sports and their tactics, as surely that's the only reason you couldn't possibly love a certain sport.

A quick glance at SKY Sports w/e 19th April shows that Premiership football, Championship football, darts, a pac/mayweather documentary, cricket in the windies, scottish soccer, European Union, Champions league football featuring spanish, german, portuguese and french sides and WWE wrestling were all watched by more people than those who bothered tuning in to SL.

I am with you, CYCLING is akin to watching paint dry, but like a great many other sports that we don't "get", the British viewing public seem to be happy to tune in regardless.

Rugby League has many a failing as we often see debated on here.....

However as I pointed out at the start, I was purely talking about MY VIEW on cycling as a spectator sport (and not lambasting others for following it, until I was met with cries of disbelief). Also not comparing it to RL or any other sport.
