Says more about sexism in cycling than any amount of faux outrage about semi clad models in kneepads…

this author knows of no other major league roadie stars who have intermingled a spot of trail-shredding with their usual dropped-bar pursuits like this

What about Marianne Voss? What about Pauline Ferrand Prevot who was Road AND XC World Champ at the same time FFS?

Just a thought while I’m getting my lunch 😉

Is disappoint that there’s no vid of him riding XC. You guys are just jealous of his skills. 😉

No idea how to embed it.

Thank you Greg. 8) He’s such an exciting rider to watch.

Or this: (not quite xc though, but er, still some skills of a sort)

Adam + 1. That article is lazy at best, but reads as a wrong’un at the moment.

You’re late getting lunch, that’s almost afternoon tea!!

Not to mention Jolanda Neff dabbling in a bit of drop barred tarmac slaying in between being rather good on a flat barred thingamajig.

The guys got charisma and speed to burn. Will be very interesting to see how he gets on in a competitive XC field. Sagan Vs Absalon Vs Schurter could be tasty.

@adam – had exactly the same thoughts when reading the frontpage bit. Threw my comment up on that

Feel free to report my post! 😀

I’m going to retort the only way I know how and buy a bulk lot of Maxxis calendars 😛

Then again, I literally have no idea who those (presumably female) cyclists are. Sorry, shoot me for my ignorance.

I do recognise CS though.

Perhaps I am and exceptionally ignorant cycle-enthusiast, or maybe the article was simply being fair. CS is probably a bit of a super star though. I mite bee wrong though.. 😉

Who the **** is CS?

Perhaps I am and exceptionally ignorant cycle-enthusiast,

Or maybe you’re a filthy sexist pig 😛

As opposed to a sexy pig, which is a whole different kettle of banana’s.

The writer has given a disclaimer, the sexist bastard!

Oh no! Now I’m being sexist assuming it’s a man.

😥

What about Pauline Ferrand Prevot who was Road AND XC World Champ at the same time FFS?

PFP was road, XCO and CX world champ all at the same time.

Never mind the isms, is there a where or when?
