The head butting at the finish yesterday was CLEARLY unsafe, not good sportmanship, and against the rules!! Yet VERSUS's two main commentators sat on their integrity and voices. This has got to change!
Do the French and their Tour de France and Versus think the only way to keep interest in bicycle racing going is to have more of a gladiator sport, after cleaning up much of the illegal unfair performance drug abuse? We want a safety ombudsman for the race, speed limits in the rain for safety like the yellow flag in oval Nascar car racing, and an end to the broken bone carnage of the cobblestone street stages!! This is 2010, for Christ's sake!! Sport clothing designers could design skid pads for hip and knee pressure contact points with the asphalt and elbow cushions in modern comfortable attire, like modern swim skins for racers.
And start showing the race leader/pack speed constantly, as we have had enough of the horse race fakery of petit mort winners and second rate assumers at the finish line!!
