Ringy Rose Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Professional riders getting paid start money. Whatever next. Wait until the anti-TT lot see how much Mo Farah gets paid just for turning up at the London Marathon or Great North Run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be arsed checking who funds the London Marathon. Both races have killed a few people, too. Edited May 1, 2023 by Ringy Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few people have died during or shortly after these events. If you get several thousand people together doing anything at all there’s a non-zero chance that one of them will die in the next few hours. These running events have contributed positively to public health and fitness and overall have saved lives. Comparing them to the inevitable TT deaths is nonsense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fucking unbelievable sometimes. #londonmarathon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I discounted him as I wasn't aware he had a "Barry Sheene" reputation. Not worth £35k... in my opinion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Christian Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 To all the TT haters and critics on this page. In the words of agent Smith - it’s inevitable. It’s happening and will continue for many years. So you may as well stop wasting your time posting and go to Busheys for a beer (or leave the island and rent your house out). Either way, whatever you write on here is utterly pointless. and…. Here comes some pointless comments about my post that make no difference…. Go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite agree, but if deaths at the London Marathon are inevitable (15 in 30 years I believe) then why are deaths at the TT any different? I know people joke about #everest, but they tend to joke about #everest rather than answer the underlying question.

Because you are 800 (EIGHT HUNDRED) times less likely to die in the London Marathon than the TT - not your best comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
