Herzog,
Sprint works, also (It was my discipline) but sorry to inform you,
but no way the pursuit would work.
Competed in many Gran Prix in differant countries, around EU
and it was very rare (almost non-existant) that they would run a
pursuit (too long-time consuming and too boring) and from what
I saw, more chance of a time-trial series.
Don't think it would be much differant now.
Road is difficult, more likely criteriums would work, from my
experience. (from a viewers aspect)
Personalities, well there were many in my day, but one might
expect that under the AIS, control, any of that would be beaten
out of you...? Smile.
Shadow42,
Seen many AFL players that wear lycra under their footy shorts,
are they gay? Don't answer that. Don't ask, don't tell.
And AFL personalities, well, I'll leave that up to you.
(some good, some bad, and some average, so what?)
Glad your enjoying the topic, and we agree on the nil, from the media.
For the average aussie to appreciate the sport, they only need to
be lead, the rest of the sheep, will follow.
Baldy,
Can't remember too many gays around cycling, in my days,
but I can sure tell you , there were a lot of hound dawgs,
chasing, and quite good at it... and the bike shorts, aided,
'cos the lady followers, could get an idea, of how you packed
your lunch. Wink. Joking of coarse.
Im_no_pro,
He came out, as far as I know, didn't he... so no contest.
And just on the point of noise and action, at a major
event, a World titles, that I was at, it was the ending of an
era, I think (now they use smaller dernies)... Saw around
12 or 14 riders, each being paced by motorcycles, and
they were Harley's, they we're competing for the WMP
championships, around 50Km, can't remember the exact.
That was a spectacle, noise and action, was awesome.
Have competed in these types of events, they are wild.
Nothing to say we couldn't have that in Oz, in the future.
Roller,
Equestrian events? Laugh. The horse does all the work, the socialite puppet on it's
back, does quite little, and it could hardley be classed as a real sport, could it?
(less of a sport than Golf)
OT, your not interested, so go and sit in the corner. Wink.
Thanks, hope we can stir some interest.
Cheers,
BrentonO
