It has been reported all round the world. Even Saudi Arabia
Quite how people "crossed a line" isn't clear.
she was stopped or approached
"As early on in the race as Switzerland"
Well that is about halfway, so not that early really.
Identical libel-worthy codswallop as seen in this thread (same offender, plus a fellow traveller or two) has been posted in comments on the road.cc article on Fiona. I rather liked this reply to the line about her medical student status:
"Yes, that means she's used to working hundred + hour weeks, is able to prioritise brilliantly, still function at any time of day or night on a couple of hours kip in the doctors room, make life & death decisions efficiently, is completely used to eating at random intervals without any set pattern and can stay 100% focused.
We all look forward to seeing your efforts in next year's Trans Con."
He would of course, be the first competitor in TCR history that people would will to fail, preferably in a humiliatingly amusing fashion.
Same prat as on here.....What an utter dick that prat Judge Dreadful on road.cc is.
True...but pretty sure the long hours are there, the need for focus is there, and she is almost certainly being trained in making those kinds of decisions. Overstated, yes, but more than a grain of truth.Its ok trying to defend Fiona against idiots. But not at the expense of appearing silly yourself. Fiona is a medical researcher, she is researching cancer. The idea that she is in an ER scenario, dripping with blood on the dog watch, is a bit far fetched
Same prat as on here.....
Funnily enough, yes he's done RL....He does sound like someone who has no clue when it comes to ultra endurance riding. Probably done Ride London and that is the pinnacle of what he thinks you can achieve in distance, rather than the very bottom rung of a very tall ladder.
