What's the hardest single player sport?

[Maestro]

as most sports to get to the top you need to have natural ability to start with.

any skill sport e.g. football, F1, dommino's - you can get the lazy sods operating near or at the top.

where'as the likes of boxing, running, cycling you have have natural ability but then also put the hours in.

The decathlon has to be some sport in the very nature its 10 different events to train for.

for me due to the fact of the tour de france alone its cycling - hours of racing a day for weeks, up mountains faster than we'd travel on the flat. Not only do they have to be physically fit but you need to be mentally strong.
You then get someone like Armstrong who then makes it impossible for anyone else.
Remember when Stephen Roache won it and the effort he put in on one mountain was unbelievable he dropped on the line.

Boxing a close 2nd

I don't agree that you can have a lazy F1 driver...if you're lazy in that sport, there's a good chance you'll end up dead.

Eddie Irvine?

not saying they just turn up. But you can be at the top burning the candle at both ends so to speak

It's not a "sport" though, is it?

How about letting it go for a while? So you don't like it - you've made that clear. Why do you try to undermine other people's enjoyment just because they don't share your opinion?

I know but that doesn't mean it's not tedious when every time someone posts something about cycling G comes back with his usual ****e.

Can't believe this exaggeration from you Neil. I'm only yanking your chain (no pun intended). I'm actually quite a keen cyclist
