There you people go again with the smiley face stickers. Pro cycling
isn't 7th grade gym class. If you don't win, you lose. Anybody who is
happy with 10th place will never be a champion.

Don't you think it's a pretty selfish attitude to have whereby a rider
is "happy" just because he finished in some self-appraised 'decent
position.' Maybe Page's sponsors want him to only be happy with a win -
ever think of it from their perspective?

Take care,

Magilla

But then if he had won, our Gorilla friend (who has returned
unfortunately) would have said, "Well, Nijs crashed out, so yeah it
wasn't the highest quality field that it could have been." No matter
what, you can't win with the Magilla.

Hey, how's Tyler doing by the way?

Haven't talked to anyone around him since this fall when he was
hopeful and concentrating on helping kids and people through his
foundation. I'm hoping he wins for a bunch of reasons.

Yo Shitbird!!
If that was the case, all the lowlife D3 teams would fire everyone but the
winners!

Wow -- and to think I was actually pleased when my paper was accepted to IEDM.
Now I realize, as it failed to win best paper, I'm a total loser, and should
quit.

Well, I'll have more time to ride, anyway.

Have you? Do you know what Page's sponsors want out of him, or are you just
speculating? Do you really think they call him up and say, "We only want you to
be happy with a win," or something similar? Sure, the sponsors always like a win
- it's the best possible thing for them. But they are also looking for time that
their name and logo is being exposed, and a guy riding in a group at the front
of the race is doing just that. There was another post that mentioned that he
was getting a lot of TV time during the race. That would certainly fulfill the
"exposure" end of the bargain.

Not true - the guys on D3 teams who don't win have a specific function
in a race to help the guy on the team who does win.

You are aware that cycling is a team sport, right?

Page, however, is suppose to win the race. So he shouldn't be happy
with 10th.

Thanks,

Magilla

Dude,

You don't even know that a cyclist goes slower around the turn in a
velodrome than on the straightaway.

How good could your paper be in light of your lack of knowledge about
basic concepts of physics?

Thanks,

Magilla

I talked to Page's sponsors. They said they prefered him to win rather
than get 10th.


Thanks,

Magilla

No,
Because on any given day or any given race someone will or could show
up who is faster than you or Lance or J.P.. Therefore one must race
the course or the race and only use the competition or other
competitors as a motivation to go faster. A true champion is not
someone who conquers the other competitors but someone who conquers the
race.

You chickenshits who didn't give a damn in 7th grade gym class used to
really **** me off. But you WERE a lot of fun to throw dodgeballs at.
