A gentle reminder to the cycling experts on this board that Contador won the 2010 Tour (which he

later had taking from him for being a drug cheat) on the basis of an attack on Andy Schleck when the latter had a mechanical problem. Bugger must know nothing about cycling.

Besides which, there's a difference between a mechanical and a crash, and there's always a racing context.

Cycling is more than anything a sport of politics. Favours are given and favours are called back in. Alliances are made, alliances are broken. Waiting after a crash goes well beyond any sporting ethos that you think is "pathetic". Your failure to understand this marks you down as an ignorant blowhard that prefers to posture and pose as an expert.

F1 is rife with politics, horse racing too, to a lesser extent.

Strange

Played over and over again, over the seasons. You don't win races if you can't cooperate with other teams. I don't mean behind the scenes boardroom politics.

I'm going to completely frank here. I also quite enjoy 'do one' and 'bus ****er'.

It is quite a good word though. I suppose that for a nation of hundreds of millions they were bound to find a word or two to add to our language that were worth keeping.

Would you say that such a phrase if prevalent mainly within the Afro-Caribbean community? Would I be right in supposing that the 'ting' is a reflection of erstwhile Jamaican patois?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Consider the following pithy phrases:

"You don't know ****."

"Blow it out your ass."

"Who cut the cheese?"

There's poetry there.

rest doesn't merit an answer. I suspect the biggest blowhard you'll see in your life stares at you every time you enter the bathroom as your replies to Nicosia prove.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Your typical Bajan bears little resemblance to the average Jamaican, in my experience.

So even when you've been schooled you don't understand.

Contador V Schleck has no relevance to Contador V Nibali.

You really don't get it.

Perhaps you could actually make the effort to understand some of the topics you post on, rather than just asserting an opinion. In the long run it would save you being repeatedly exposed as a vacuous ****.

Mo, you need to work on your material, mate.
