Thought Tory McGuiness Cough should have WUN it

I'm also ignorant about skateboarding competitions.

Green jersey, so he didn't even win?

Erm, green jersey, yes he did.

Green jersey. At a guess you wouldn't know anything about the world road racing championship either.

Your ignorance puts your contribution in it's place.

Yeah, did he win the yellow jersey?

I find cycling as about exciting as reading the phone book.

You never heard of the Tour de France?

Who the fxxk is Mark Cavendish, never heard of him, surely it should be someone in a mainstream sport like golf, football, tennis or snooker. Glad I missed it this year.

Darts, pool also require that but they are not considered sports - more of a show really.

Now being an agent does not require much athletic prowess but sure as hell requires a lot of dexterity

Golf? Athletic prowess? You are having a laugh.

Happy Christmas Tory Boy. Hostilities suspended for the festive season.

Pool & darts don't require physical fitness in the same way, but gold certainly does. You are using your entire stength, across dozens of different muscle groups, to impart both the most powerful and incredibly accurate shot. It's not endurance fitness but then neither is shot-put... but both require physical strength.

Suggesting sports like cycling are purely about fitness is ludicrous.

It's unusual to have no footy or rugger players in the top ten, but I suppose none of them deserve to be.

Should have been JT

so cycling involves no skill whatsoever? Golf requires no fitness at all? You are truly an idiot. Do you really think that swinging a golf club requires no dexterity or athletic prowess?

[DodgyAgent]

Yup!

I'm not saying that people who achieve the highest levels don't deserve respect but if it doesn't involve skill and fitness then it isn't a sport.

Every time you make post you reveal a new dimension to your ignorance.

WHS - makes me dirty to say that

Golf is a 'game' not a 'sport'.

Athletics and cycling are just 'fitness' not 'sport'

That leaves a field of four.

Are you saying the London Marathon and Tour de France aren't sporting events?
