It's Official...

[Ronaldo Jeremia]

...r.b.r. contributors are, by and large, idiots.

Take the omnipresent r.b.r. regular who accuses others of being ignorant despite displaying
virtually no insight regarding what happens in a bike race (have any of you wondered if this guy has
ever been to a race? I have)...

...or people who conclude that, because LANCE won a 'Kriterium,' his Tour win is somehow
validated *and* he really can sprint, despite the fact that it is a well known fact that these
races are rigged...

...or people who think that, if LANCE wins a sixth Tour de France, he will surpass Eddy Merckx as
the greatest cyclist of ALL TIME, despite the fact that Eddy won every race that ever existed about
a dozen times, and Lance's career to date would realistically place him somewhere between 5th and
10th on any reasonable form of such ranking...

...then there are people who think that Michael Jordan dominated the NBA not by training, but merely
by being talented.

A lot of it is that it is TdF time which translates into Clueless Newbies Running Amok.

As for the rbr regular that you mention - there may be something wrong with his cognitive abilities
because a non-impaired person would have it figured out by now.

The "idiot" description would seem to apply quite well to you, since you don't seem to be able to
recognize sarcasm even when it is dripping...

So tell me how it's "well known".

It is "well known" in the sense that everyone aside from yourself and a select few other dumbasses
know that the races are fixed.

You're Welcome,
