So Tim Moore referred to them as alpine oafs - Sherwen , Kirby et al would gun them down :roll:
Yet wait 4 hours for the action and the adrenaline /passion boils over -
so first of all guess who this n*b head is pushing Froome (clue it''s me)
I'll buy you a Duvel if you can say where...(only one coupon available, subject to terms and conditions)
terms and conditions : For every Duvel a person recieves they must repay with three trappist bres of their choice
then decide what can be done about the more 'passionate' fans

Anyone who thinks running alongside a rider is a good idea needs to take a long, hard look at themself.0

Top pic Stage 13 2012 Tour? The lump near the end of the stage to Cap d'Agde?
I don't need a Duvel though. I read the small print.Correlation is not causation.0 -

if you go a bit further ( the name of the lump) the Duvel is yours

very good - for a bonus bowl of salted almonds...who was the sprinter who got tailed off on the climb and got punished on the flat run in by the Lotto train banging it into Cap d Agde ( where Greipel took it)0 -

I normally agree about idiots running alongside the riders. However, I give you boar man!

In terms of fans that is cycling's Sistine Chapel, Citizen Kane, Sgt Pepper or Hamlet. Anything else withers in comparison. It's a 'drop the mic' moment.I normally agree about idiots running alongside the riders. However, I give you boar man!
(For the record I personally don't think that Pepper is even the best Beatles album (I love Revolver) - but we have to set aside such things to make an evocative post. Citizen Kane is genuinely great though - you should watch it)Twitter: @RichN950 -

For Boar Man, Sgt Pepper fits. Or possibly some early Pink Floyd. Certainly nothing pre LSD.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

it wasn't actually a push - more a pat on the back for his upcoming sports personality nomination in 3 years that I had predicted - trouble is he is so thin he doesn't have a back just the back of his front0 -
You are always going to have an idiot, its inevitable. Most spectators are not though and are a key ingredient to any cycle race.
This said, the world we live in today does make me wonder if stricter roadside spectator rules will be introduced - personally i think this would be a mistake but when you read articles like this you do wonder

Blah blah part of the sport.
People are too hot on cycling as a sport.
It's entertainment first
. Can't have one without the other, but take away crazy fans who literally get in the faces of the riders, then you really lose something.
If cycling is a 3 legged stool, the proximity of riders to fans and their availability for fans is one of the legs. ( I guess the others would be the terrain, and finally the actual quality racing itself).0 -

I used to be a bit of a Floyd fan, but then I grew out of them/gave up MPEDs (Musical PEDs).

Froome must be saying "I'm going colour blind in this mess with some Scotsman in red crosses and Sky hat and on the other side a fat lump of lard about to have a heart attack.
It's embarasing representing such idiots and Richie is not impressed either.Organiser, National Championship 50 mile Time Trial 19720 -
