bigrbuk Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Plenty of bunting and bikes up around worral/Oughtibridge/Greno now, looking good. The first road messages have appeared on jawbone too ("shut up legs") Can't wait, got 25 people round if they can get, gonna gets bags of goodies from caravan, enjoy the atmosphere in the park, have a few beers and watch some elite athletes on my doorstep, just hope I can get a spot on jawbone. Mountain biking is better though though Edited July 1, 2014 by bigrbuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belfast owl lad Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Quite simply the most corrupt "sport" on the planet plus the clues in the name Tour De France If I wanna watch the Isle Of Man TT I go to the Isle of Man innit. not as corrupt as plane loads of cash for super rich african footballers.

I would think the most corrupt sport in the world is football with FIFA in charge. F**k all to do with you anyway. It goes nowhere near your part of Rotherham.

Lawrie Madden Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Not forgetting a certain bidding process for the biggest football tournament in the World yet all the participants wont at one time or another been drug cheats unlike the Tour De France Over the last 20 or 30 years how many winners can fans of this borefest be confident that the winners were clean and not cheats ? It was quite interesting that last year when Brailsford and Team Sky announced a drugs amnesty that half the backroom staff left because they had all been bent when they were competitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harry Coy Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Gutted I'm missing it. All our neighbours back home have been painting bikes yellow and putting them in random places. Looks good. Bradfield/Oughtibridge will be buzzing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's 200 competitors. Are you saying they're ALL drug cheats?It's a much much cleaner sport than it once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TT races are basically like a Victorian freak show which attracts spectators anticipating some poor buggers guts sprawled over the road. Of course the Isle of Man would never tone it down though as they wouldnt want to jeapardise their biggest source of income now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sten Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 You'll never catch footballers taking steroids will you? Got a ticket for the launch show at Leeds arena designed by Danny Boyle, live set from Embrace and then presentation of the teams. Can't wait. Am watching both Yorkshire legs an all. For those whingeing about the road closures...get on yer bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl-zat Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm thinking of going up to Leeds to watch the start and then shoot up to Harrogate on the train to see the finish Saturday and then watch it Sunday up Grenoside. It's a global event on our doorstep, something to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
***HIRSTY*** Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 All I've had for the last couple of months is groups of fat middle aged men in Lycra riding in groups taking up all of the road obviously just riding the TDF route. It's like the gym in the new year. It's an annoyance and will probably go on throughout the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
