    Yes, I enjoyed that a lot. The comments are already hilarious

  • "In my region cycle teams do winter training; block the roads, disobey road traffic laws, coast down hill taking blind hairpin bends in the middle or on the wrong side of the road, cycle hands off - not in full control of their vehicle, cycle while texting, etc etc. So yes I really hope they suffer. Anyway I thought racing on public roads was illegal - but not for these ego obsessed fools."

    Too. Much. Stupid.
