World Champs race course at risk
Postby il padrone » Mon Sep 06, 2010 9:44 pm
The race course for the World Road Cycling Championships at Geelong is under threat from the floodwaters on the Barwon River today. One moth to go - will they have to rebuild the bridge?
But catch the cr@p in the usual comments at the end
"An unjustified and unethical imposition on a healthy activity."

There are at least 3 V8 meetings that take place on public roads, there is F1, and rallying in australia has to run pretty much every event right down to club level on public roads.

Foreigners are coming to Geelong and bringing something that they don't understand. That's not good!
If they take Geelong, Australia will fall!

These type of comments are classic. The problem is Bogans just don't know they're Bogans (and
never will).

Yeah realised not long after I posted it that they are no longer on. Worst still, when I really thought about it I can recall the old man saying he couldnt go anymore, and that was a good 10 years ago. My bad.im_no_pro wrote:

Conflicting Situation.
As stated.
So why stuff around with a possible flooded course?In order to meet the UCI’s strict criteria for the event there was no flexibility on the race course
Geelong may end up looking pretty foolish.
And from the competitors point of view, you would expect the race couse to be fixed, if only to know
what you are up against (as a rider), and make it an even playing field for All Teams.
Could reflect badly on Australia, if it all comes apart at the seams.
