    Of course it depends what qualities you choose to value. Yes, it's not a game so you don't need great hand/eye coordination but Murray is revealing his own ignorance there. It's not "purely physical" - to be a great road cyclist you need good technique and tactical ability as well as big lungs and powerful leg muscles.

    And how about personal courage? When was the last time Blubber Murray risked his life on the professional tennis circuit? Crashing is inevitable in road racing and every now and then a professional dies. The last one I'm aware of was Wouter Weylandt who died in May last year at the Giro d'Italia. A freak accident on a dangerous descent, it could have happened to anyone. Wiggins rode that race, it could as easily have been him.
    It's a bit like golf. If a Titleist comes careering out of the sky and clonks you on the temple, you're going down. You're dead!
    Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

      Maybe not but it's ok since we're making new points in the discussion.

      At least I am.

      Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



      May the Lord bless this post.

        Murray and Shaggy attacking the opposition there. Makes a change for Murray I suppose.

          Maybe the end of SPOTY could involve some kind of hybrid cycling/tennis match in which Wiggo and Murray slug it out for the title.

          I'd back Murray in that as well

                        Ok, t be h, I flicked through just as they were showing the Wiggins footage so I watched it and caught the interview with 'Susan'. I thought the same.

                        NFL, I take an interest. It's good but it's not cyglib.
