Though I doubt this will even register with most but hardened sports/cycling fans, congratulations to Chris Froome on all but winning (the last stage is a procession whereby places are not really fought over) La Vuelta a Espana.
Only 3 cyclists have completed the Tour de France and Vuelta double in the same season but Froome is the first to do it since the Vuelta moved to August.
IMHO this is one of the greatest sporting achievements in modern times, an unbelievable feat by a British athlete.

I know I'm coming into this thread a bit late but have to add my voice. As an avid watcher of cycling, on the ground, Giro, TDF and Vuelta and on TV, Chris has been spectacular this year. I've met fans all over Europe who are now coming round to admiring Chris, it's taken a while. When a footballer complains about too many games, they should try three weeks of over...

Your choice to choose that mode of transport, there are others.
And yet, I've never seen a cyclist take a vehicle parking space. Seen plenty of cars an cars and vans parked in the cycle lanes though.

But what the rant had to do with a bike race and amazing sporting feat in Spain I'm not sure.......

There was no rant, just a comment, don't be so sensitive.

LOL, sensitive?

Forgive me, Chill.....I know this is a post in Sport about cycling...x

Balcric....perhaps grumpy is not the word to use for you...but I don't know any more what is. You were lovely to banter with once, but of late you have appeared to become pompous and sarcastic.
You must know how many answers you're having removed and you need to know that folk are becoming wary of you.
Yes, some will say if you can't stand the heat...etc...but an example is your answer to Groupie today. There was no need for that. You understood as well as anyone what the question was. She didn't deserve that snippy retort at all.

Rude and name calling was in response to DTC....not you.

Impatient? An impatient motorist is as dangerous as an arrogant cyclist......but in charge of a vehicle that can inflict more damage than a bicycle usually.
I have seen cocky cyclists but I can take my time...mutter and avoid them.....
An impatient motorist...well that scares the hell out of me......it's someone out of control.
